The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) is a federal regulation that protects the employment rights of current and former members of the Armed Forces, Reserves, National Guard and similar services. Enacted in 1994, USERRA establishes guidelines that employers must follow in regard to the employment, reemployment, retention and benefits of uniformed service members. The Act is intended to minimize the disadvantages that might otherwise be experienced by an individual who needs to be absent from his or her civilian employment to serve in the armed forces.
