Amends the Service Member's Employment Tenure Act. Provides that each person scheduled to begin employment with a private employer
or with the State of
Illinois or a political subdivision who, for the purpose of
entering the military service, has left or leaves such scheduled-to-begin-employment status and actually
entered the military service and who thereafter (1)
receives a certificate or other evidence of honorable discharge or
satisfactory completion of military service, (2) is, at the time of such discharge or completion of
military service, still qualified to perform the duties of the
position of employment which he or she was scheduled to begin, and (3) makes application for
re-employment within 90 days after being relieved from such military
service, or from hospitalization continuing after discharge for a period of
not more than one year, shall be restored by the employer to the position
of scheduled-to-begin-employment status which he or she left with the same increases in status, seniority,
and wages that were earned during his or her term of military service by employees
in like positions who were on the job at the time the returning service member
entered the service, or to a position of like seniority, status, and pay,
unless the employer's circumstances have so changed as to make it
impossible or unreasonable to do so. Extends other protections of the Act to service members who were scheduled to begin employment at the time they entered military service. Effective immediately.
