Final Military Leave Regulations Issued By DOL
On Dec. 19, 2005, 11 years after Congress enacted the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, as amended (USERRA), the U.S. Department of Labor issued final regulations under USERRA which became effective Jan. 18, 2006. The final regulations can be found at 20 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1002. The DOL suggests these final regulations do not impose any new obligations on employers, but rather, serve as an implementation of the statutory requirements, as well as to clarify and interpret areas of the law. However, these regulations, the first ever issued under USERRA, turn the internal guidance of the DOL into binding regulations.
