The primary objectives of this
research are to determine employer burden when National Guard and
Reserve employees are absent serving in the military for more than
30 days, to evaluate the impact of DoD policy (including the switch
to the Operational Reserve and Contiguous Pre-Mobilization
Training) on employer operations, and to gain insight into unmet
employer needs. This research will examine the general attitudes
toward Guard and Reserve employees. The research will also assess
the contributions of Guard and Reserve employees to employers; and
examine knowledge of and desired supports for compliance with
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
The research will examine these objectives by number of employees
at the sampled establishments, industry, state, and employment of
National Guard and Reserve members, and generalize them to the
universe of eligible employers.
