Sears Deserves A Huge Ata-Boy

As we shop for Christmas this year you have a huge number of places where you can spend your money.  If you wish to purchase something for yourself or as a gift and the choice is Sears or another retailer please stop and consider the Sears policy that relates to US Service men and women.

What is that policy you may ask? Well, I’m glad you did.

First here is the link to the actual Sears page that goes over all of their military benefits and accomplishments. http://www.searsholdings.com/communityrelations/hero/military.htm

We hope that you have all seen the reports about how Sears is treating its reservist and National Guard employees who are called to duty? By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more. Usually, those serving take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of their active duty service.

Sears (company-wide) is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all company benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all active duty reservist and National Guard employees.

Sears is indeed one of the employers who take additional steps to show support for workers involved in serving their country (either in the Reserves or the National Guard) by guaranteeing the continuance of their civilian pay (for up to 60 months) and allowing continued participation in life insurance, medical and dental programs.

Although Sears is singled out in this example, many other American businesses, large and small, do the same for their Reserve and National Guard employees. . I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution.

Reports of such businesses can be found on the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve web site. http://www.esgr.mil/
