Abstract: The primary objectives of this research are to determine employer burden when National Guard and Reserve employees are absent serving in the military for more than 30 days, to evaluate the impact of DoD policy (including the switch to the Operational Reserve and Contiguous Pre-Mobilization Training) on employer operations, and to gain insight into unmet employer needs. This research will examine the general attitudes toward Guard and Reserve employees. The research will also assess the contributions of Guard and Reserve employees to employers; and examine knowledge of and desired supports for compliance with Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). The research will examine these objectives by number of employees at the sampled establishments, industry, state, and employment of National Guard and Reserve members, and generalize them to the universe of eligible employers.
