Labor Department, Veterans Employment and Training Service
In this rulemaking, the Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) is correcting and consolidating the text in parts A and B of the appendix to 20 CFR part 1002 ("Notice of Your Rights Under USERRA"). VETS published the appendix on March 10, 2005 in response to the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004 (VBIA). The VBIA amended the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) by requiring employers to notify affected employees of the rights, benefits, and obligations of employees and employers under USERRA. As published, the text of the required USERRA rights notice included information about a temporary demonstration project established under the VBIA that called for VETS to transfer to the Office of Special Counsel some claims brought against Federal executive agencies. The demonstration project ended on December 31, 2007. This rulemaking is therefore deleting this outdated reference from the text of the USERRA rights notice. In addition, this rulemaking is consolidating the text in parts A and B of the required USERRA rights notice to eliminate the need for separate notices for Federal and non- Federal agency employers. This rulemaking does not require employers to replace the notices currently in use because, even without this correction and consolidation, the current notices comply with the USERRA employee-notification requirements.
