Resolution from Veterans Affairs Committee
January 30, 2009

Whereas, the Veterans Affairs committee has identified that UUP members employee's benefit's rights when leaving and returning from military service are not uniformly applied according to USERRA (Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act); and

Whereas, currently these UUP military members' employee benefits are interpreted differently by Human Resources and supervisors affecting their accrued time, promotions, salary increases, and permanent/tenure appointment tracts; and

Whereas, the Veterans Affairs committee has identified that NYSUT applies the USERRA mandates in a more uniform manner,

therefore be it resolved, that UUP research and create along with guidance from NYSUT, an informational document to educate Human Resource personnel, UUP chapter and state officers on these rights and regulations so they can be disseminated and applied in an accurate and uniform manner.
