What is USERRA?
The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, a federal law that protects the civilian employment rights of military service members, reservists, and National Guard personnel by guaranteeing reemployment after military service and prohibiting employment discrimination based on military status.
Why it matters in hiring
USERRA comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
