(b) An employer shall be considered to have denied a person initial employment, reemployment, retention in employment, promotion or a benefit of employment in violation of this section if the person's membership, application for membership, service, application for service or obligation for service in the uniformed services is a motivating factor in the employer's action, unless the employer can prove that the action would have been taken in the absence of such membership, application for membership, performance of service, application for service or obligation.
(c) An employer may not discriminate in employment against or take an adverse employment action against any person because such person has taken an action to endorse a protection afforded any person under this act, has testified or otherwise made any statement in or in connection with any proceeding under this act, has assisted or otherwise participated in an investigation under this act or has exercised a right provided for in this act. The prohibition provided for in this subsection shall apply with respect to a person regardless of whether that person has performed service in the uniformed services and shall apply to any position of employment, including a position that is for a brief, nonrecurrent period and there is no reasonable expectation that such employment will continue indefinitely or for a significant period.
