USERRA Poster Requirements Go Into Effect March 10, 2005

The Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004 (VBIA), P.L. 108-454, was signed into law by the President on December 10, 2004. Among the VBIA’s provisions was a requirement that employers post notice of basic Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) rights and duties in their places of employment. USERRA provides reemployment protection and other benefits for veterans and employees who perform military service. The new posting requirement will become effective March 10, 2005. The Secretary of Labor was charged with the responsibility of creating a poster containing the required language.
