Our employment lawyers represent employees who have been retaliated and discriminated against by their employers for taking military leave. The federal law that predominately protects employees who take military leave is the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (commonly referred to as “USERRA”). If your employer denied you the right to take military leave or retaliated against you once you took military leave, contact our military leave lawyers today.
Normally, an employer has to offer reemployment to an employees that has been on military leave for less than 5 years. However, there are many exceptions to this rule. If you were denied reemployment after taking military leave, contact our military leave attorneys today.
When an employee is injured while on military leave, the employee may have rights under the American with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). For example, the ADA may require an employer to offer a reasonable accommodation to an employee returning to work with a disability.
Laws regarding military leave are complicated, and there are numerous exceptions to the laws that apply. If you have been retaliated against, denied benefits, denied seniority, or experienced any other adverse employment action because you took military leave, contact our military leave lawyers today.
