Not to long ago I was talking with a non-profit who called me for some HR advice. They were looking for suggested job sites and social networks to post their new job opening for a key position in their company.
They were wrong.
USERRA is short for the Unified Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act and requires re-employment of employees who leave work for military service, prohibits retaliation and discrimination against employees because of their military service, and prohibits termination because of military service. According USERRA, the CEO from the non-profit above couldn’t terminate the newly activated National Guard member. They were required to place him on military leave and hire a temporary replacement employee.
Unlike many employment laws, there isn’t a minimum employee threshold for employers to adhere to USERRA. All employers regardless of the size from 1 to infinity, public as well as private sectors are obligated to abide by USERRA fully.
USERRA is one of the most common employment law offenses for employers mostly due to the fact that employers are in violation and unaware like the CEO I described. Fines and penalties for employers vary and may include lost wages, benefits and even liquidated damages all for willful violations.
USERRA keeps military members, active, veteran and National Guard free from discrimination. Employers can’t deny these individuals any of the following:
- Initial employment
- Re-employment
- Retention in employment
- Promotion
- Any benefit of employment
This is part 1 of our veteran and military employment law series. You can read more of our military and veteran articles on the Talent Circles Blog.
