Book Description
DOD has made progress capturing employment information on its reservists since August 2005, but several challenges remain. In August 2004, DOD changed employer reporting by reservists from voluntary to mandatory. The number of reservists reporting employer information to DOD increased from 60 percent in August 2005 to about 77 percent in August 2006. However, we found that reservists have not fully reported civilian employment information, reported employment data are not necessarily current, and DOD s employer verification process is not adequate. Complete and current civilian employer information is important to DOD for several reasons, including its ability to provide sufficient outreach to employers. In August 2004, DOD established a 95 percent goal for reporting employment information for the Selected Reserve and a 75 percent reporting goal for the Individual Ready Reserve and Inactive National Guard. As of August 2006, about 91 percent of Selected Reserve members had reported this information, whereas only 30 percent of Individual Ready Reserve or Inactive National Guard Members with good addresses had complied. Currently, the Army Reserve has met the Selected Reserve reporting goal and the Army National Guard has met the Inactive National Guard reporting goal and nearly met the Selected Reserve goal, while the other reserve components have met neither goal. Moreover, DOD does not have specific time frames for when reserve components are to achieve their reporting goals, and has not directed the service components to take actions to assure compliance. In addition, the DOD instructions requires reservists to update their employment information when changes occur; however, during focus groups we found that reservists generally were not aware of the need to update employer information when employers changed.

Book Description
Since September 11, 2001, the Department of Defense (DOD) has mobilized more than 500,000 reservists. As reservists demobilize, concerns exist about difficulties with their civilian employment. Public Law 109-163 required GAO to report on reservists' civilian employer data and employment matters. GAO assessed (1) the status of DOD's efforts to capture reservists' employer data; (2) DOD, Labor, Justice, and Office of Special Counsel processes to track and address reservists' USERRA complaints; and (3) the four federal agencies' efforts to track reservists' USERRA complaints related to disabilities incurred while on active duty. GAO reviewed policies and procedures for reporting and tracking complaints; DOD's civilian employer database for reservists and reservists' USERRA complaints; and data reliability and quality checks.
