If your company strips your accrued vacation time. <\/strong>
\nThere are very clear USERRA mandates protecting employment benefits for all serving in the military. You can NOT lose benefits or be demoted or penalized in any way for serving in the military, reserves or otherwise. All benefits of your employment including but not limited to, any hierarchy, seniority advantage, monetary benefit, incentives, gains, position, account holdings or interests, are all protected under USERRA meaning you cannot be denied any improvement in your employment or benefit you would have earned during the time you were gone on active duty. In addition to the Federal regulation, California state laws mandate that accrued vacation time can never expire or be forfeited. Though it can be capped as a companywide policy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nIf you or someone you know is facing discrimination as a result of military service we want to speak with you right away, like most employment matters there is a time limit on how long you have to file your complaint, so don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late.
