This law is really good to me especially when I was in the US Navy reserved. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act is to protect the civilian employment of active and reserve military personnel in the United States when called to active duty. These law applies to all services in the military including reserved components. The USERRA clarifies that when a service member of the armed forces was called to active duty, he or she will retain their current job in the civilian sector and furthermore the position will be on hold until the service member is back from their active duty (USERRA, 2016). I can personally say that this law is good for service members who got activated especially for reservist personnel who were activated. When I was activated for two months active duty while in the reservist, my employer assured me that I will still get that position when I return from service. I felt reassured that I will keep my old job when I return from my detachment.

Military status protection covers the employment rights of military veterans and reservists. The two most important laws that protect the rights of veterans and reservists are the Vietnam Era Readjustment Assistance Act (VERA) of 1974 and the Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994 (Mathis, Jackson, Valentine, & Meglich, 2017). In this paper we are going to focus on the most recent law that effect employers the USERRA.

I am a little fascinated by an act for personnel who are called to duty to serve in the armed forces. The Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) provides protection to National Guard and Reserve members. When civilian workers return to active duty, Under the USERRA, employees are entitled to return to their civilian jobs after completing their military service. This act was put in place to protect reemployment benefits and nondiscrimination rights of individuals who involuntarily or voluntarily take a leave of absence from their job to serve their

The military technician program came about with the need of qualified civilians in a full-time status to preform administrative actions, prepare, and train Reservists for mobilization after WWII. In the 60’s, a Memorandum of Understanding was made between the U.S Civil Service Commission and the Department of the Army establishing dual status requirements. These requirements allowed the U.S. Army to ensure the military technicians would have to mobilize with their unit. Public Law 90-486 “The Technician Act of 1968” established the National Guard Technician Program. (National Gaurd Bureau, 2009) The law created a new section of military technicians “excepted” commonly known as dual status. This made military techs no longer competitive civil service employees and

Just like our government the president is in control of the army so he enforces the laws. If someone breaks the laws they can sometimes go to the Supreme Court where they decide his or her fate.

“The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) seeks to ensure that those who serve their country can retain their civilian employment and benefits, and can seek employment free from discrimination because of their service, by expanding the cumulative length of time that an individual may be absent from work for uniformed services duty and retain reemployment rights” (Workplace Fairness).
