Under the Reserve Forces (Safeguard of Employment) Act 1985, your employer cannot terminate your employment without your consent solely or mainly because you are liable to be mobilised. If your employer is unhappy about your being a Reservist, talking to them about the unique skills and qualities that you develop in the Volunteer Reserve Forces could help to change their mind. You can also ask for help from your Unit. It is the role of the Unit Employer Support Officer to encourage your employer to be as supportive as possible.
