• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
• The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and
• The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)

If you believe that you have been discriminated against in employment, harassed because of your gender, or found your job effectively eliminated after returning from active duty service, contact an employment lawyer at Silver Golub & Teitell to schedule a free initial consultation to review your options regarding an employment lawsuit.

Emerging Issues for Returning Veterans

USERRA prohibits discrimination against veterans and those on active duty in the Armed Forces, including the Reserves and the National Guard. It protects the rights of service people to reclaim their job after being absent for military service or training, and gives them to right to be reinstated with pay and status equal to where they would have been if they had not been on active duty. It also protects service people who have been gone from the job for more than 180 days from being fired within the first year (except for cause).

In some workplaces, returning veterans, guard members and reservists have found their jobs substantially changed and they have been effectively demoted. Regardless of whether this was done because of employer ignorance or through willful misconduct, it is illegal and unfair. The employment attorneys at Silver Golub & Teitell are here to ensure you receive the protections and benefits you deserve.
