USERRA (MILITARY SERVICE RIGHTS ) Under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), employers must provide notice of rights and responsibilities related to military service. Employers commonly do this by posting the “Your Rights Under USERRA ” notice where other employee notices are displayed, but they may also provide the notice by hand, mail, or email, as long as employees receive the full text. USERRA posters and information are available from the DOL, Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS). Note: Also refer to the publication Employing Servicemembers: What You Should Know About USERRA publication available without charge from the Small Business Assistance Office.
