When Your Reservist Employees Are Called Up
03/ 31/ 2003

If your small business has been affected by the call up of national guard and reserve members, you know how devastating it can be -- both to the overall morale of employees who worry about the safety of their coworkers and for the everyday functions of the office.

There is support available. The Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), is designed to answer employers questions about the complicated rules surrounding military reservists. Go to www.ESRG.org for more answers.

The Small Business Administration sponsors a loan for small business impacted by the absence of an employee. For complete details on the loans and to download an application, go to www.SBA.gov/disaster.
