The Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) governs military leaves of absence and provides job protection, benefits and rights of reinstatement to employees who are absent from work due to service in the uniformed services.
On December 10, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004. The new law has two implications for employers:
employers must post a new employee notice describing rights, benefits and obligations under USERRA; and
continuation of health coverage must be extended from 18 to 24 months.
The U.S. Department of Labor issued the final version of the employee notice on March 10, 2005, the deadline specified by Congress to produce the final notice (not the date by which employers must display it). The notice should be displayed within a reasonable time after it becomes available.
The Chamber is offering employers a supplemental product to coordinate with its Required Notices Kit to satisfy this new USERRA requirement. This product contains:
the newly mandated USERRA notice;
an optional pamphlet to give to employees going on military leave; and
an informational booklet on USERRA for employers.
California Chamber members may download a pdf of the new notice from HRCalifornia.com.
