Needs and Uses: The Department of 

Defense Focus Groups of Employers are 

designed to identify ways of supporting 

employers when Guard and Reserve 

employees are absent due to military 

duties and targeting such support, 

explore the characteristics of dutyrelated absences (such as frequency and 

duration) that have the greatest impact 

on employers, characterize the attitudes 

of employers toward Guard and Reserve 

employees, and examine knowledge of 

and compliance with Uniformed 

Services Employment and 

Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) 

and other ESGR programs. The 

Department of Defense Focus Groups of 

Employers are intended to complement 

information gathered through the 

Department of Defense National Survey 

of Employers. The Department of 

Defense will use these data to inform 

decisions related to the management of 

Guard and Reserve. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The Uniformed Services Employment 

and Reemployment Rights Act 

(USERRA) requires that persons who 

serve or have served in the Armed 

Forces, Reserves, National Guard or 

other ‘‘uniformed services:’’ (1) Are not 

disadvantaged in their civilian careers 

because of their service; (2) are 

promptly reemployed in their civilian 

jobs upon their return from duty; and (3) 

are not discriminated against in 

employment based on past, present, or 

future military service. The Act covers 

members of the Uniformed Services, any 

other category of persons designated by 

the President in time of war or national 

emergency, and their government and 

civilian employers. It is the 

responsibility of the Employer Support 

of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) to 

promote cooperation and understanding 

between Reserve component members 

and their civilian employers and to 

assist in the resolution of conflicts 

arising from an employee’s military 

commitment. The Department of 

Defense Focus Groups of Employers are 

being conducted using a stratified 

cluster sampling design to provide indepth information to determine best 

practices of ESGR in supporting 

employers of Reserve and Guard 

members and to evaluate the 

effectiveness of ESGR and DoD 

programs. The information collected is 

used in conjunction with survey 

information collected on a statistically 

random and nationally-representative 

basis. The information collected is used 

for overall program evaluation, 

management and improvement.
