§4315 Reemployment by Certain Federal Agencies

Summary

Heads of certain federal agencies must set up rules to make sure their workers get the job protections in this chapter. The rules must, as much as possible, handle getting people back to work after uniformed service the same way section 4313 does. Each agency must name one official to decide when rehire by that agency is impossible or unreasonable. That official must tell the worker and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management when they make that decision. That decision cannot be reviewed by a court. Each agency head must once a year report to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs how many people were found impossible or unreasonable to rehire and why. Agencies still must follow other parts of this chapter. Workers may ask the Secretary for help finding reemployment with their agency or other federal jobs, and agencies may ask the Secretary or the OPM Director for help. If an agency finds reemployment impossible or unreasonable, the worker was employed by that agency when they left for service, and the worker asks the OPM Director, the Director must offer the worker a job in a federal executive agency.
