Commending Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve and acknowledging the patriotic commitment of all Kansas employers who support their employees serving in the National Guard and Reserve.

Impact

The resolution underscores the importance of cooperation between civilian employers and military personnel under the auspices of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). It acknowledges that the success of the National Guard and Reserve is significantly enhanced by the support from employers who offer flexible policies and protect the civilian jobs of their employees who serve in the military. Such recognition is intended to strengthen the bond between the military and civilian sectors, ultimately benefiting state and national defense.

Summary

Senate Resolution No. 1732 is a commendatory resolution recognizing the vital role played by Kansas employers in supporting their employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve. The resolution highlights the commitment of these employers in helping service members balance their military responsibilities with their civilian careers. It calls attention to the critical domestic support provided by these service members during emergencies and their readiness to protect the nation.

Contention

While the resolution itself is largely positive and non-controversial, it implicitly raises awareness about the challenges military personnel face when deployed. Although it does not create or amend laws, the resolution advocates for understanding and improving the employment rights of service members, which can sometimes be a topic of contention during discussions on workplace policies and benefits. The advocacy for these rights is tied to the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, emphasizing that employers must protect the jobs and benefits of those serving in the military.
