Answer: Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)

Step-by-step explanation:

USERRA is a federal Act that was passed in 1994 in order to help service members and veterans of the U.S. armed forces to be properly reintegrated into civilian life.

The Act requires that employers reemploy any person that left to serve in the armed forces and to give them the same status and seniority they would have been entitled to if they had not left. This Act also protects servicemembers and veterans from any discrimination that may come their way for having served in the military.
