paper is the Uniformed Services Employment and
Re-employment Rights Act (U.S.E.R.R.A.)-- an extensive

1940, which contains many new rights and responsibilities
for reservists and their employers. Among the many
interesting rules : employees cannot be forced to substitute
vacation time with time served on-duty in the Reserves.
