However, an employer is not required to reemploy an employee if the employment he or she left to serve in the uniformed services was for a brief, nonrecurrent period and there is no reasonable expectation that the employment would have continued indefinitely or for a significant period. The employer bears the burden of proving this affirmative defense.","path":["Title 20—Employees' Benefits","CHAPTER IX—OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR VETERANS' EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","PART 1002—REGULATIONS UNDER THE UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT OF 1994","Subpart C—Eligibility For Reemployment"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-20.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:24:45Z","sha256":"c47b0f82e1e3c615769db1bcbf80659afd793c0983800d7031c78160bc0ee551","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/20-cfr-1002.40","next":"us/20-cfr-1002.42"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
