DOL/VETS SALUTE Program for USERRA Compliance: Considerations for Employers
On July 24, 2025, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (DOL/VETS) launched a program for employers to seek guidance for ensuring compliance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA). The initiative is referred to as “SALUTE: Support and Assistance for Leaders in USERRA Training and Employment.” SALUTE creates an opportunity for employers to request technical guidance on USERRA-related questions or specific issues in their workforce before the onset of a DOL/VETS complaint or lawsuit.
