The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) provides specific requirements for employees who are also members of the armed forces.
Though many of USERRA’s rules are straightforward, there are current issues regarding USERRA compliance arising over workplace scheduling, particularly when National Guard and Military Reservists must fulfill their “drill weekends” and annual training obligations.
Also, in many instances, conflicts arise due to the frequency of military duty assignments, the lack of notice given to employers by service members, and the impacts to employers as a result of the service member’s absence while on military leave.
Additional employer compliance obligations are required under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Many HR professionals are still confused about how to handle military leaves appropriately to comply with this new law. For instance:- What is a qualifying exigency?
- How much time can an employee take off from work if her spouse is injured in combat?
- How do I code the time off, is it FMLA time?
- What about having the employee use his/her vacation time, don’t they have to use that first????
For HR professionals who have employees in the armed forces, this is a must-attend Audio Conference to ensure compliance with these laws. Also, with the impending return of many veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, it is important for employers to clearly understand the process of re-employing a veteran and how to handle FMLA and NDAA issues.
In this informative program, become an expert on handling military leaves and on employer obligations under USERRA, NDAA, FMLA to make sure you’re treating service men and women fairly – while complying with the law.

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
