Guide to Guard and Reserve employment rights



Posted : Thursday Nov 30, 2006 18:44:00 EST

Reservists’ rights are protected under state and federal law, whether the service members are in drilling or active status. These rights include employment, financial and legal protection.

Reservists also have certain responsibilities, including:

• Showing up on time for scheduled drills and training.

• Completing training required by enlistment contracts.

• Keeping their commander informed of their employment and residency status.

• Providing prior written or spoken notice of military service to their employer.

• Reporting back to work when released from service within the time limits established by law.

• Keeping employers informed of drill dates, annual training and advanced warning of possible deployment.

Reservists who cannot perform military duty due to scheduling conflicts with their civilian jobs must contact their units to resolve the problem. If the duty cannot be rescheduled, employers are obligated to allow service members to perform military service.
