tests either for pre-employment screening or during the course of employment.

right provided under FMLA:

return to work.
• The U.S. Department of Labor is authorized to
investigate and resolve complaints of violations.

maintain the employee's health coverage under any
''group health plan.''

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER USERRA
THE UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT
AND REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT
USERRA protects the job rights of individuals who voluntarily or involuntarily leave employment positions to undertake
military service or certain types of service in the National Disaster Medical System. USERRA also prohibits employers
from discriminating against past and present members of the uniformed services, and applicants to the uniformed services.
REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
HEALTH INSURANCE PROTECTION
You have the right to be reemployed in your civilian job if you leave that
job to perform service in the uniformed service and:
✩
If you leave your job to perform military service, you have the right
to elect to continue your existing employer-based health plan
coverage for you and your dependents for up to 24 months while in
the military.
✩
Even if you don't elect to continue coverage during your military
service, you have the right to be reinstated in your employer's
health plan when you are reemployed, generally without any waiting
periods or exclusions (e.g., pre-existing condition exclusions) except
for service-connected illnesses or injuries.
✩
✩
✩
✩
you ensure that your employer receives advance written or verbal
notice of your service;
you have five years or less of cumulative service in the uniformed
services while with that particular employer;
you return to work or apply for reemployment in a timely manner
after conclusion of service; and
you have not been separated from service with a disqualifying
discharge or under other than honorable conditions.
If you are eligible to be reemployed, you must be restored to the job and
benefits you would have attained if you had not been absent due to
military service or, in some cases, a comparable job.
ENFORCEMENT
✩
The U.S. Department of Labor, Veterans Employment and Training
Service (VETS) is authorized to investigate and resolve complaints
of USERRA violations.
✩
For assistance in filing a complaint, or for any other information on
USERRA, contact VETS at 1-866-4-USA-DOL or visit its website at
http://www.dol.gov/vets. An interactive online USERRA Advisor can
be viewed at http://www.dol.gov/elaws/userra.htm.
✩
If you file a complaint with VETS and VETS is unable to resolve it,
you may request that your case be referred to the Department of
Justice for representation.
✩
You may also bypass the VETS process and bring a civil action
against an employer for violations of USERRA.
RIGHT TO BE FREE FROM DISCRIMINATION AND RETALIATION
If you:
✩
✩
✩
are a past or present member of the uniformed service;
have applied for membership in the uniformed service; or
are obligated to serve in the uniformed service;
then an employer may not deny you:
✩
✩
✩
✩
✩
initial employment;
reemployment;
retention in employment;
promotion; or
any benefit of employment
because of this status.
In addition, an employer may not retaliate against anyone assisting in
the enforcement of USERRA rights, including testifying or making a
statement in connection with a proceeding under USERRA, even if that
person has no service connection.
The rights listed here may vary depending on the circumstances. This notice was prepared by VETS, and may be viewed on the internet at this address:
http://www.dol.gov/vets/programs/userra/poster.htm. Federal law requires employers to notify employees of their rights under USERRA, and employers
may meet this requirement by displaying this notice where they customarily place notices for employees.
