Employment laws are vast and complex. Many situations involve public or private employees. Some are protected under the Veterans Preference Acts of various states. When a Veteran of the USA Armed Forces holds public employment, they must be given certain procedural safeguards before terminating the employment relationship. For example, a Veterans Preference Hearing.
