Its called the Soldiers and Sailors Protection Act. Among other things it was designed to help WWII service members (draftees) when they got home, but nowadays its used for deployments and call-ups of the Reserves and National Guard (even though they are all volunteer). Hope this helps.

Yes. The employeer is required by law to hold either the same position or comparable position.

I wouldn't waste my time with the reserves. You're going to be called up for active duty but you're not going to receive all the perks that an enlisted solider will receive. (Bonuses, Training, Equipment, etc.)

Yup, and when they get back from deployment, they have to at least offer a similar positon within the company.
Of course, you need to give your company the proper notification, etc.

Legally they are not supposed to. But studys are showing employers are being a little nasty to military personnel.
