USERRA Resources

Employers may require certification of the need for caregiver and qualifying exigency leave using the DOL forms. The qualifying exigency form can be found at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fmla/forms

Employees seeking to use military caregiver leave must follow existing FMLA notice rules, including the requirement to work with employers to schedule leave without unduly disrupting operations. Copies of the required USERRA posters can also be obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor at www.dol.gov/vets/programs/userra/poster.htm.

Additional information about the act may be obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service at 800-336-4590 or on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov/vets/index.htm. The Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), Veterans’ Employment and Trainings Service (VETS) and the National Veterans Training Institute (VTI) have developed an on-line introduction to the rules utilizing an e-Learning course entitled USERRA 101. The course is free but individuals must register at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/vets/programs/userra/onlinetraining.
