USERRA: An Overview

As uniformed service personnel are being deployed for service in many parts of the world, their employment rights are being protected on the home front. Federal law provides protection for these service members, and individual service members need to know their rights and responsibilities before, during, and after performing their duty in the uniformed services. And their employers – federal agencies, in this case – need to know their obligations under USERRA.
