FVSHRM is excited to offer a workshop on the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). LeRoy Frahm, the Ombudsman Director from Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve will present an in depth and thorough exploration of USERRA. Balancing the realities of business while supporting a deployment or military service of an employee can be challenging, but knowing your obligations under USERRA will make your job easier. Service Members are a protected class under USERRA and have exemptions from “at will” employment. If you are in Human Resources as a Director, a Specialist or Generalist, or do payroll, pension, insurance, edit your handbook or train supervisors, you will not want to miss this training. You will find LeRoy’s USERRA training, precise and lively.
1. Understand USERRA, it’s history, and origin.
2. Explore USERRA’s unique definitions, and some little known surprises.
3. Learn to navigate the statute, and the DOL regulations.
4. Never confuse eligibility and entitlement.
5. Understand your USERRA rights and responsibilities.
6. Get all your questions answered.
