JANISTAR encourages all business owners and managers to not only know the USERRA rules and principles, but to go beyond that which is required by law and strive to be a Model Employer for anyone who serves.
Supporting members of the Guard and Reserve means more than simply granting time off for drill, annual training and overseas deployments. Here are some things you can do to be a Model Employer:
Give your managers the tools and training they need to effectively manage reservists, educating them about the responsibilities of both supervisors and reservists, under USERRA.
Communicate to everyone in your organization that your company supports the Guard and Reserve and their families.
Maintain contact with and support their families in every way possible while they are deployed.
