Verizon was named to the 2011 list of 'Most Valuable Employers for Military' by CivilianJobs.com, an

organization that helps connect America’s military with civilian jobs. They cited our “commitment to

recruiting and retaining employees who have military experience.”

Page 25: Veterans Virtual Career Fair - November 2011

To honor those who continue to serve, we offer an enhanced Emergency Military Leave policy. These benefits which greatly exceed the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) provide the difference between an employee's base pay and the military base pay for up to 36 months.
