The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) is a law that protects the jobs of people who serve in the military or certain uniformed services. It ensures they can return to their civilian jobs after deployment or training without losing benefits, seniority, or facing discrimination. USERRA also requires employers to reasonably accommodate service members’ absence and reintegration into the workplace. Overall, it promotes support and fairness for service members balancing military duties with their careers.
