How do layoffs work if you’re on orders (like extended orders - call it 6+ months)?

Need a little more clarification on what exactly you're asking, but in general the firm cannot terminate you without cause for a year after you come back from a long tour. However, if they can prove that the layoff would have occurred despite your military service, they may have a defense for doing so. For example, if your entire department was let go, you may not be entitled to re-employment.

OP, yes you can get laid off while you're on orders. The company has the burden of proving that they would have taken the action irrespective of your service.

P1, this is very much an answer. These issues are not black and white, but rather depend on the facts of the case. If OP wants to divulge further information, we can probably get to a better answer and course of action. At least I'm trying to help.

The way I understand it, they can't actually terminate you until you return.. being on orders provides some protections but doesn't make you invincible.

Read up on USERRA, and check out ESGR for help if you need it.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
