Military Leave and Employment Rights in Los Angeles
The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) was signed into law on October 13th of 1994 and is designed to minimize the disadvantages that a person may face when needing to be absent from civilian employment due to service in the Armed Forces. Military service members are also protected from discrimination on the basis of that service.
At the employment law firm of the Bononi Law Group, LLP, our experienced team of attorneys provide aggressive legal help to Armed Service members who have been unfairly treated by their employers based on military service. We have successfully represented hundreds of employees and applicants in discrimination claims and have recovered many high-value awards for our clients.
