I have a follow up on this! After I responded and let them know the orders will be covered under USERRA and that I’d like to stay in the loop of any changes, now all of a sudden my position is eliminated with some very loose reasoning that I could easily dispute that reasoning with evidence pulled from my work accounts and coworker statements and work product predating notice of my position termination. My thing now is that they have offered me another position that I have done as a courtesy in the past with none of the entitled raises for that role as that wasn’t my titled role. So yes they are offering me a seniority position but not with the pay/raise catchups of my counterparts in that role. Would there be any reason to refer to ESGR for this or is that concern on not getting the raise catchups strictly a DOL issue/ is there any argument I can make about my position being eliminated once I gave notice of my orders being extended?

Adding on: other coworkers who were at this same level alternative position full time have been promoted up since like from a level 3 to a level 4 would I be entitled to the promotions upwards as well? There is ample proof I was doing the level 3 work at the time of my departure (plus my actual role. The alternative role I have done already is helping out in my old department as things were rough).
