Good information from Rely61. Be sure to also check with your local state regulatory agency that covers civil/human rights and a USERRA equivalent.

Here are links to the federal DOL site addressing the many aspects of this law:

Your situation will depend on the circumstances under which the employee initially separated from the company and if there was notice of intention to return to the position given. If you were notified, I hope you gave the employee the required notifications of his or her rights before leaving. Otherwise, it could get very messy.

The first question, what documentation do you have showing this person on military leave? What is your company policy for military leave? What status is the soldier, National Guard, Reserve, Active Duty? The military will put the individual on orders. The orders will state effective date and end date or at least anticipated end date. The individual should furnish you with a copy of their orders so you can effectively track their military status. The local ESGR (Employee Support for the Guard and Reserve)can assist you on Employer rights and responsibilities for the National Guard and Reserve. You can also read up on USERA rights. RE
