A financial advisor at a securities firm was also a member of the United States Air Force

Question:

A financial advisor at a securities firm was also a member of the United States Air Force reserve. He was called to active duty following 9/11. At the time of his activation, he was managing 237 client accounts and earning about $76,000 per year. The financial advisor was honorably discharged in October 2003. In the interim, some of his clients had been managed by other employees and other clients had been transferred to a national call center that was now being used to service low volume, less affluent clients. On December 1, 2003, he requested, via a letter, reinstatement. He received a response to his request on January 26, 2004. He returned to work on March 31, 2004. It was at that point that the firm clarified the terms of his reinstatement. He would resume serving the small number of his former clients that remained, be given a $2,000 per month advance against his commissions, and have the opportunity to cold-call for new clients. The financial advisor left the office that day and never returned. He was terminated for job abandonment. Did this employer violate the USAERRA by failing to properly reinstate this employee?
