USERRA: Understanding Employee's Rights and Employer's Responsibilities

  • Employers Network 1004 South Pine Street Spartanburg, SC, 29302 (map)

Is your organization fully compliant with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)? This federal law protects the job rights of employees who serve in the military, and it's essential for employers to understand both their responsibilities and the rights of their service-member employees.

Join us for an informative and engaging session designed to give you the tools and knowledge to navigate USERRA confidently. Topics we’ll cover include:

  • SHRM Foundation Military Ambassador Program: Discover how this program helps support veteran employment and why it’s essential for your business.

  • Reserve Components: Learn about the various reserve forces and how their service impacts employment.

  • Who is ESGR?: Explore the role of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) and its importance in fostering strong employer-military relationships.

  • Employer Outreach Mission: Understand the efforts behind employer outreach and how you can become a supportive employer of service members.

  • USERRA Compliance: Gain a deep understanding of USERRA, including what protections are provided for service members and what obligations you, as an employer, must meet.

  • Employer and Military Rights and Responsibilities: Learn the shared responsibilities between employers and military personnel to ensure a smooth, compliant relationship.

This event is a must-attend for HR professionals, business leaders, and managers seeking to understand their role in supporting service members while maintaining legal compliance. Through real-world examples and expert insights, you’ll leave equipped to create a supportive environment for your employees who serve in the military.
