UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND RE-EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT- CALL LA LAWYERS

The Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act, or USERRA, was enacted to protect your rights as a CA employee. Designed to assist military servicemen and women who are returning to civilian life, the Act requires employers to provide workers returning from service a salary, status and seniority similar to what they had before leaving. Individuals covered include persons who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, Reserves, National Guard or other “uniformed services.”

For example, if before leaving for military duty, you were a commission-based employee in CA, when you return to your job after service you must be compensated on the basis of what you were earning when you left. Even if this requires your employer initially pay you a salary instead of commissions. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer to learn more about this Act.

If you are a CA employee returning from military service USERRA might apply to you. Please call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP for more information.
