Paid Military Leave Class Actions
PRF Law and several law firms are collectively litigating a number of class action lawsuits in which military reservists allege that their employers violated their obligation under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) to pay the reservists when they took short-term military leave because the same employers paid employees when they took other comparable non-military leaves, such as jury duty, bereavement leave, sick leave, and/or vacation.
