Press Release Body = Many National Guard and Reservists are returning from Iraq. Do
these service men and women get their civilian jobs back upon return? It\'s a
relevant question for many individuals and employers, and thanks to the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL), answers are just a click away. The Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) Advisor, located at
http://www.dol.gov/elaws/userra.htm, is a free Web tool that helps explain USERRA -
an important DOL law intended to ease the transition between military service and
civilian employment. It also provides a notice employers may post or distribute to
fulfill their requirement to notify employees of their rights and benefits under
USERRA. This resource is one of several online elaws (Employment Laws Assistance
for Workers and Small Businesses) Advisors developed by DOL. For a complete list,
visit http://www.dol.gov/elaws. For more information about veterans\' employment
issues, contact DOL\'s Veterans\'
