USERRA Poster Updated

By Sally Piefer

On October 27, 2008, the Department of Labor updated its "Notice of Your Rights Under USERRA" poster that employers can use to notify employees of their rights and benefits under the federal Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994.

USERRA prohibits employers from discriminating or retaliating against employees and applicants based on military status and requires that employers reemploy employees who return from service in the uniformed services.

Employers are required to display a notice of the rights, benefits, and obligations of employees and employers under USERRA in areas that are customarily used for placing notices to employees. While you are not required to up date your poster if you are posting the December 19, 2005 version, older versions should be replaced with the 2008 version.
