Military Members and Your Agency
Education and training on what protections your military-affiliated personnel are entitled to.
Training on how to enable your reservist and National Guard personnel, and eliminate liability.
USERRA. Does your agency staff know what this acronym means? If you have personnel who are also in a reserve status with a unit of the National Guard or Reserve Forces, your staff absolutely should.
America has relied on her armed forces since her inception. The citizen-soldier that makes up America’s reserves and National Guard is an integral part of our nation’s readiness. Yet, we read time and time again about agencies that enter litigation due to violations of service member’s rights. If you have military-affiliated personnel working among your ranks, this training class is absolutely necessary for your staff. Police, Fire, Public Works, and any other public sector department must know what the dos and don’ts are with their military personnel. The cost of this course will pay for itself twice over as knowing what you can do, and when you can do it, will save your agency tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlement and attorney’s fees.
This class will give all staff members the knowledge needed in dealing with military duty scheduling issues, what recourses your agency has, and what your rights as an employer are. This training is unique and your agency won’t find it anywhere else with such a focus on public sector application.
This class teaches an exclusive curriculum by one of the nation’s top USERRA and military lawyers, John N. Maher, JD, MBA, LLM. John is the founder and lead attorney at Maher Legal Services, and of www.lawyersdefendingwarriors.com. He brings his over 20-years of experience as a JAG lawyer to the table for your benefit, and that of your agency’s. He holds a degree as a Master of Strategic Studies from the US Army War College, deployed to Afghanistan twice, and was General Counsel for the US Office of Personnel Management (personnel department for the Federal government). He is one of the few lawyers in the country’s history that was granted not one, but TWO Presidential Pardons for his clients that were wrongfully imprisoned for actions overseas. He will discuss cases that he has taken to court against agencies across the country on behalf of service members that worked in the public sector.
If your legal department has already been contacted due to issues with your military personnel, you’re already behind the curve. Get up to speed and in the know with this essential training for staff and administrators.
