USERRA Lawyer Protects Employment Rights of Service Members in Georgia
Introduction
When service members dedicate their lives to protecting our country, they deserve to have their employment rights safeguarded as well. At John Hugh Shannon, we understand the important role our armed forces play and are committed to ensuring that service members in Georgia receive adequate legal protection under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
Understanding USERRA
USERRA is a federal law that provides employment rights and protections to members of the military, including the National Guard and Reserve. It ensures that service members are not discriminated against in their civilian employment due to their military service and guarantees their right to return to the same or similar position after completing their military duties.

Types of USERRA Violations
Service members in Georgia may face various employment rights violations under USERRA. Some common violations include:
1. Denial of Reemployment
USERRA guarantees service members the right to return to their civilian jobs after completing their military duties. If your employer unlawfully denies your reemployment or offers you a position that is not comparable to your previous job, you may have a valid USERRA claim.
2. Discrimination
USERRA prohibits discrimination against service members based on their military affiliation. If you have been subjected to adverse employment actions such as termination, demotion, or harassment due to your military service, you may have grounds for a USERRA lawsuit.
3. Failure to Accommodate
Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to service members with disabilities resulting from their military service. If your employer has failed to make such accommodations or has treated you unfairly because of a service-related disability, you may be entitled to legal recourse under USERRA.
