SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act
(USERRA) requires that persons who
serve or have served in the Armed
Forces, Reserves, National Guard or
other ‘‘uniformed services:’’ (1) Are not
disadvantaged in their civilian careers
because of their service; (2) are
promptly reemployed in their civilian
jobs upon their return from duty; and (3)
are not discriminated against in
employment based on past, present, or
future military service. The Act covers
members of the Uniformed Services, any
other category of persons designated by
the President in time of war or national
emergency, and their government and
civilian employers. It is the
responsibility of the Employer Support
of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) to
promote cooperation and understanding
between Reserve component members
and their civilian employers and to
assist in the resolution of conflicts
arising from an employee’s military
commitment. The Department of
Defense National Survey of Employers
is being conducted on a statistically
random basis to determine best
practices of ESGR in supporting
employers of Reserve and Guard
members and to evaluate the
effectiveness of ESGR and DoD
programs. The information collected is
used for overall program evaluation,
management and improvement.
