USERRA and the civilian job — drill deck

Before AT or a mobilization: the civilian job has its own law. ESGR mediates. DOL enforces.

10 min · Drilling Guard and Reserve · Education only. Not a claim. Not Army or VA product.

One-pagers (single sheet)
  1. Slide 1 · The job · TOP's

    Drill, AT, and active duty can be protected. A rumor is not the protection.

    • USERRA covers leaving a civilian job for uniformed service.
    • Give the employer notice. Keep a copy.
    • The unit does not call the boss and ‘handle it.’

    1 / 3 · Verify on USERRA (DOL) before anyone enrolls.

  2. Slide 2 · State active duty · TOP's

    Governor’s orders are a shorter door.

    • State Active Duty is covered at 14 days or more, or when it supports a presidential emergency.
    • Shorter SAD is not the same federal door. Read the page before you promise a Soldier.
    • Title 10 and Title 32 are not SAD.

    2 / 3 · Verify on USERRA (DOL) before anyone enrolls.

  3. Slide 3 · Who to call · TOP's

    ESGR mediates. DOL investigates.

    • ESGR: 800-336-4590, option 1. They do not enforce the law.
    • If mediation is not the move, the claim is on DOL VETS.
    • Write the two numbers on the board. Do not collect the employer’s complaint in a group text.

    3 / 3 · Verify on USERRA (DOL) before anyone enrolls.
