Important facts for employers
The USERRA (Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act) protects the job rights individuals who leave jobs to join the US military. Under the USERRA regulations that were signed into law in late 2004, all employers must post a notice in the workplace informing employees of their rights under USERRA, which is the acronym for the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.
The USERRA workplace poster was made available to the public by the US Department of Labor on March 10, 2005.
Businesses that purchased labor law posters from Business Know-How between January 1, 2005 and February 28, 2005, will automatically be shipped a supplement poster containing the new USERRA posting. Labor law posters purchased from Business Know-How since February 28 have included the USERRA notice either as a supplement to the poster or on the poster itself.
Businesses that purchased labor law posters in 2004 or earlier should be sure their labor law posters are up-to-date except for the USERRA notice. If they are, the USERRA poster can be downloaded from http://www.dol.gov/vets/.
