CHAPTER IX - OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR VETERANS' EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

SUBCHAPTER B - FEDERAL COAL MINE HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT OF 1969, AS AMENDED

PART 1002 - REGULATIONS UNDER THE UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT OF 1994

subpart c - ELIGIBILITY FOR REEMPLOYMENT

1002.120 - If the employee seeks or obtains employment with an employer other than the pre - service employer before the end of the period within which a reemployment application must be filed, will that jeopardize reemployment rights with the pre - service employer?

No. The employee has reemployment rights with the pre-service employer provided that he or she makes a timely reemployment application to that employer. The employee may seek or obtain employment with an employer other than the pre-service employer during the period of time within which a reemployment application must be made, without giving up reemployment rights with the pre-service employer. However, such alternative employment during the application period should not be of a type that would constitute cause for the employer to discipline or terminate the employee following reemployment. For instance, if the employer forbids employees from working concurrently for a direct competitor during employment, violation of such a policy may constitute cause for discipline or even termination.
