What you need to know about USERRA and the Veterans' Preference Act

Deadline to Register: November 9

Job protections and leave requirements under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) and Minnesota state law, as well as the Family Medical Leave Act can be confusing for employers and employees who are serving in the active Armed Forces, Guard, or Reserve.

In honor of Veteran's Day, please join us on November 13 to hear from Attorney and ESGR Ombudsman Mathew Meyer speak on state and federal legal requirements for military leave and provide tips for compliance. Attorney Charles Horowitz, who has represented numerous individuals in Veteran’s Preference Act hearings, including one case that went to the Minnesota Supreme Court, will also discuss the protections and procedures under that provision, as well as a few strategic tips for attorneys representing clients in this area.

Registration and lunch begin at 11:45 am.
