10 Veteran Employment Legislation Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (AARA)
11 USERRA Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act The Department of Labor, Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS), enforces USERRA. USERRA clarifies and strengthens the Veterans' Reemployment Rights (VRR) Statute USERRA protects civilian job rights and benefits for veterans and members of Reserve components. USERRA improves enforcement mechanisms USERRA
12 USERRA Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act USERRA establishes the cumulative length of time that an individual may be absent from work for military duty and retain reemployment rights to five years The previous law provided four years of active duty, plus an additional year if it was for the convenience of the Government. Exceptions to the five-year limit Initial enlistments lasting more than five years Periodic National Guard and Reserve training duty Involuntary active duty extensions and recalls, especially during a time of national emergency. Reemployment protection does not depend on the timing, frequency, duration, or nature of an individual's service as long as the basic eligibility criteria are met.
13 USERRA Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act USERRA requires that service members provide advance written or oral notice to their employers for all military duty unless giving notice is impossible, unreasonable, or precluded by military necessity. The employee should provide notice as far in advance as is reasonable under the circumstances. Service members are permitted by law, but are not required, to use accrued vacation or annual leave while performing military duty.
14 USERRA Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act For military service of less than 31 days, health care coverage is provided as if the service member had remained employed. Individuals performing military duty of more than 30 days may elect to continue employer sponsored health care for up to 24 months (COBRA) They may be required to pay up to 102 percent of the full premium. USERRA clarifies pension plan coverage by making explicit that all pension plans are protected.
15 USERRA Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act USERRA provides that while an employee is performing military service, he or she is deemed to be on a furlough or leave of absence. Military members are entitled to the non-seniority rights accorded other individuals on non-military leaves of absence. USERRA provides that returning service-members are reemployed in the job that they would have attained had they not been absent for military service (the "escalator" principle). Same seniority, status and pay, an other rights and benefits determined by seniority. The law clearly provides for alternative reemployment positions if the service member cannot qualify for the "escalator" position. USERRA requires that reasonable efforts be made to enable returning service members to refresh or upgrade their skills to help them qualify for reemployment (e.g., training or retraining).
16 USERRA Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act The period an individual has to make application for reemployment or report back to work after military service is based on time spent on military duty. Less than 31 days -- The service member must return to work at the beginning of the next regularly scheduled work period on the first full day after release from service, including safe travel home and eight-hour rest period. Over 30 days, but less than 181 days -- The service member must submit an application for reemployment within 14 days of release from service. Over 180 days The service member must submit an application for reemployment within 90 days of release from service.
17 USERRA Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act USERRA provides protection for disabled veterans, requiring that employers give reasonable accommodation for the disability. Service members convalescing from injuries received during service or training may have up to two years from the date of completion of service to return to their jobs or apply for reemployment.
18 USERRA Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act The Department of Labor, through the Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) provides assistance to all individuals having claims under USERRA If resolution is unsuccessful following an investigation, the service member may have his or her claim referred to the Department of Justice for consideration of representation in the appropriate District Court, at no cost to the claimant. Federal and Postal Service employees may have their claims referred to the Office of Special Counsel for consideration of representation before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). If violations under USERRA are shown to be willful, the court may award liquidated damages. Individuals who pursue their own claims in court or before the MSPB may be awarded reasonable attorney and expert witness fees if they prevail.
19 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (AARA), 2009 Economic Recovery Payment to Recipients of Social Security, SSI, Railroad Retirement and Veterans Disability Compensation Benefits. Incentives to Hire Unemployed Veterans and Disconnected Youth. Under current law, businesses are allowed to claim a work opportunity tax credit equal to 40 percent of the first $6,000 of wages paid to employees of one of nine targeted groups. The bill would create two new targeted groups of prospective employees: (1) unemployed veterans; and (2) disconnected youth. An individual would qualify as an unemployed veteran if they were discharged or released from active duty from the Armed Forces during the five-year period prior to hiring and received unemployment compensation for more than four weeks during the year before being hired. AARA
