I am always surprised that one of the first questions my clients usually ask, after I introduce the idea of ‘migrating’ to another accounting solution is “but what about my old data?” Intuitively, I get it. I understand the concern. Who wants to re-key system-set-ups such as Customers, Vendors, and Inventory or Billing Line items into the new system? Unless there are only a couple hundred records in the maintenance files, it is hard to defend the notion of viewing it as a “training lesson.” And, unless you have an army of high school students (preferably your own kith and kin), who would want to pay for such an exercise?


The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) is a federal law that has been in place since 1994. For persons who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, USERRA ensures that they are:

  • Not disadvantaged in their civilian careers because of their service.
  • Promptly reemployed in their civilian jobs upon their return from duty.
  • Not discriminated against in employment based on past, present, or future military service.

In this post we provide an overview of USERRA compliance requirements.
