The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (“USERRA”) protect workers who take military leave from being terminated or retaliated against by their employer. San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley represents workers who have been terminated or retaliated against due to military leave.
This commonly occurs when an employee is also a member of the National Guard or Reserves and is called to duty.
San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley fights for an employee’s right to reemployment if the cumulative military leave is five years or less. There are exceptions to the five year limitation, such as where an initial enlistment lasts more than five years, periodic National Guard and Reserve training duty, and involuntary active duty extensions or recalls.
Advance verbal or written notice to an employer is required for employees seeking leave for military duty. Notice should be given as far in advance as possible. The only exception is if notice is impossible, unreasonable, or prevented by military necessity.
If you believe that your employer has denied you military leave, refused to properly reinstate you after military leave, or has retaliated against you for taking military leave, please contact San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley.
