What are an Employer's Duties under USERRA?

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) requires employers to reemploy employees who voluntarily or involuntarily have to leave employment for duty in the uniformed services, including training in the National Guard and service in the National Disaster Medical System. USERRA also protects employees with current, past or future military service from discrimination in employment decisions and benefits as well as protects these employees from retaliation by their employers for exercising their rights under the Act.

Can My Employer Force Me to Retire?

The Age Discrimination Employment Act (ADEA) protects workers age 40 or older from discrimination in the workplace based on their age. Under the ADEA, employers are not permitted to require employees to retire (i.e. involuntary retirement) upon meeting a specific age unless it meets one of the limited exceptions to the rule. For example, involuntary retirement may be required of certain executives and high policymakers and public safety employees, like firefighters and police officers.
