The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) is a federal law that protects the employment rights of active duty military members and veterans. Under USERRA, employers are required to reemploy service members upon their return from duty and cannot discriminate against them based on their military service. Catherine's boss is violating the protections provided by USERRA by not holding her job for her and replacing her while she is deployed.
