Revised to reflect the University's commitment to comply with the requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). USERRA protects the job rights of employees who are called to active duty or authorized training with the Armed Forces of the United States. The revision combines this policy and the superseded UNT Policy 1.4.9, Military Leave (Extended) Reinstatement of Veterans into one comprehensive policy. The revision is effective 7/14/2010.
