Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) Poster Available FREE from DOL
B. Janell Grenier at Benefitsblog posts news at Faegre.com of a new HR requirement for all small businesses with employees. All employers, regardless of size, have to comply with this requirement.
“Last December, the President signed into law the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act, which made two changes in the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (”USERRA”) regarding the rights of employees called to military service… One of the changes was a new requirement that employers provide a notice to employees of their rights and duties under USERRA beginning today, March 10th.”
The new poster is now available on the DOL website in PDF form.
Faegre.com further informs us that:
” You can satisfy your notice obligation by posting copies of the Department’s notice in each location that is customarily used for similar notices to your employees (such as EEO posters). If you prefer, the rules allow you to provide the notice in other ways which assure that each employee receives the full text of the notice, such as by hand delivery, by mail or by e-mail. However, most employers will probably just post the notice. Note that all of your employees (and all future employees) have to get the notice, not just those known to be in the military. “
