It is illegal under both state and federal law to discriminate against an employee because of their membership in the armed forces.

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (”USERRA”) prohibits discrimination against employees because of their membership in armed services. Additionally, the Act generally prohibits termination of employees for one year from the time they return from a deployment.
