It's good to know that there are laws out there about keeping jobs open if they are called to serve.

Businesses could hire temporary workers / contractors, though. You bring someone on with an employment contract that stipulates a term of one year (or however long the deployment is). Then, when the soldier returns to civilian life, you can either (a) let the contract lapse, or (b) if business is good and the contractor does good work, you can offer the contractor a permanent job in addition to keeping the soldier on.
