17 2009-05-19 Reported to House with amendment(s) 2009-06-04T21:25:10Z Wounded Veteran Job Security Act - Entitles a person who is absent from employment by reason of the receipt of medical treatment for a service-connected disability (absent employee) to: (1) be retained by the person's employer; (2) the seniority and other rights and benefits determined by seniority that the person had on the commencement of such treatment plus the additional seniority and rights and benefits that the person would have attained if the person had remained continuously employed; and (3) be considered on furlough or leave of absence during such treatment and therefore entitled to other rights and benefits not determined by seniority as are other persons of similar seniority, status, and pay who are on furlough or leave of absence. Terminates such entitlement when a person knowingly provides written notice of the intent not to return to such position following treatment.

Allows the absent employee to use any vacation, annual, medical, or similar leave with pay accrued before the commencement of the treatment.

Provides that an employer shall not be required to retain an absent employee if: (1) the employer's circumstances have so changed as to make such retention impossible or unreasonable; (2) such retention would pose an undue hardship on the employer; or (3) the employment in question is for a brief, nonrecurring period without a reasonable expectation of continuing indefinitely or for a significant period.

Treats an absent employee, for purposes of employer-provided health care and pension benefit plans, in the same manner as a person absent by reason of military service.

Prohibits any employer discrimination or acts of reprisal against an absent employee.
