DOL Releases USERRA Fact Sheet
On August 8, 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) has released a fact sheet for employers to help understand their responsibilities for reemployed military service members under the pension provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and related regulations. After reemployment, USERRA requires that returning military service members be treated as though they did not have a break in civilian employment for the purpose of participation, vesting, and accrual of pension benefits from their employers during their military-related absence.
The VETS USERRA Fact Sheet #1 is available here.
