HR Chat: Military Leave

You operate a small business with only five employees on payroll. Recently, one of your employees enlisted in the National Guard and has requested leave for military duty when required. Although your business is not subject to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) due to having fewer than 50 employees, what are your obligations under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)?

When managing employee leave, it’s essential to ensure compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws. With support from myHRcounsel’s experienced attorneys, you can be confident that your workplace policies are compliant and that you have the guidance needed to run your business efficiently.
