Please
join us for a CLE sponsored by the Military & Veterans Affairs Section and
the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) on the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) 38 U.S.C. 4301 et. Seq. Attorney Mathew Meyer will provide a
detailed overview of the rights and obligations of both employers and their
servicemember employees under USERRA, and discuss recent developments in how the
Act and its regulations are interpreted and applied. What is the reemployment
position under the “escalator” principle for a servicemember returning from a
lengthy deployment? What are the employer’s obligations when reemploying a
servicemember with a disability, such as PTSD? How are claims under USERRA
handled? Please join us for the answers to these and many more questions about
employer and servicemember rights under USERRA.
Presenter:
Mathew
M. Meyer - Mathew is the Chair of the Military & Veterans Affairs Section
and a volunteer Ombudsman with the ESGR (www.ESGR.mil). ESGR, a Department of

commitment. ESGR is supported by a network of more than 4,900 volunteers in 54
committees. As an ESGR Ombudsman, Mr. Meyer frequently mediates disputes between
