     Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act

Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, as amended

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Clinton on October 13, 1994. USERRA is a federal statute that protects servicemembers' and veterans' civilian employment rights. Among other things, under certain conditions, USERRA requires employers to put individuals back to work in their civilian jobs after military service. USERRA also protects servicemembers from discrimination in the workplace based on their military service or affiliation. USERRA is codified in Title 38, United States Code, Sections 4301-4333 (38 U.S.C. 4301-4333).

The Law -- 38 USC 43

The Deparment of Labor is responsible for USERRA an as such is expected to generate guidance as to how they expect the law to be implemented.  This guidance is called a parallel regulation and can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs).  The CFR for the USERRA is 20 CFR 1002.
