California Expands Military Leave Protections: Employment Law Manual Updated, Legal Timetable Entry Added

Author: Melissa Burdorf, XpertHR Legal Editor

Effective January 1, 2016, California will extend employment protections to private employees who are members of the National Guard of any state who are called to military service by the governor of the state in which they serve or by the President of the United States. The law currently covers only California National Guard members.

In light of this development, the USERRA: California section of the Employment Law Manual has been updated and a Legal Timetable entry has been added.
