Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act

This act prohibits discrimination against persons because of their service in the Armed Forces Reserve, the National Guard, or other uniformed services.  USERRA prohibits an employer from denying any benefit of employment on the basis of an individual’s membership, application for membership, performance of service, application for service, or obligation for service in the uniformed services.  USERRA also protects the right of veterans, reservists, National Guard members, and certain other members of the uniformed services to reclaim their civilian employment after being absent due to military service or training.
