Specific Discrimination Issues

USERRA prohibits an employer from denying or depriving an employee of any benefit of employment for reasons related to that person's uniformed services obligation. Employment actions that deprive an employee of benefits provided to other employees are prohibited if that person’s uniformed service obligation or affiliation is a motivating factor in the employment action(s).

If none of the above matches your situation, please review the information on general discrimination.
