(Note: Historical information from 2001 Noble Eagle Recall)

We hear the songs and speeches; we see the balloons and t-shirts. For companies, though, the rubber meets the road when they create policies to support their Reservists and Guardsmen called to or volunteering for active duty.

How does your company fare?
  • These are voluntary benefits paid by companies in addition to the legal guarantees of USERRA.
  • Pay Supplement is either full pay in addition to military pay or payment of the difference between military and civilian pay.
  • Days is duration of benefit (9999 is unlimited)
  • Voluntary indicates that benefits are paid for voluntary as well as involuntary recall
  • DFAS - Military Pay Scales
  • ESGR - Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve
  • VETS - Veterans' Employment and Training Services
Congratulations to Dell Computer, who has now revised its recall policy to provide six months of differential pay during the current crisis.

    Re: Civilian Organizational Reserve Recall Benefits

    I applaud any company that gives a member of the Uniformed Services the difference in pay etc. However, under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), Codified at 38 United States Code, Chapter 43, this is above and beyond what the Statute provides.

    I am the Director, Veterans' Employment and Training Service, U.S. Department of Labor in Honolulu .Our Agency has oversight/enforcement responsibilities with regards to the USERRA Statute. We have a State Director in each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. This law was intended to treat the member as they have never left employment and ensures they are reinstated with no loss of seniority, status, or pay.

    You can find the Statute by going to: www.dol.gov. Once there click on the a-z in the upper right hand corner. Then click the V and then click Veterans' Employment and Training Service. Our web page has a USERRA icon on it. once you click it you can read information regading the law, print the Statute and use our expert advisor. You can find my counterparts in the upper left hand corner under about us. Should anyone need assistance you can reach me at this e-mail or at work which is:

    hough-gilbert@dol.gov

    I am available to answer questions shoud you need them. I can also provide you the name of my counterpart in each State.

    Thanks for serving you Country in the Uniformed Services of the United States and God Bless all of us!
