Provides employment protections during the performance of state active duty by members of the national guard
This bill clarifies and updates state laws to ensure National Guard members receive job protections when performing state active duty. It defines military service to include duty ordered by a governor and extends reemployment rights to employees who leave their jobs for training or active service. The legislation requires employers to restore these workers to their previous positions or equivalent roles within specific timeframes, preserving their seniority and benefits. Additionally, it provides a legal pathway for employees to seek court enforcement of these rights if an employer refuses to comply.
