Is there insurance for this sort of thing? Seems like an external risk that needs to be mitigated somehow.

  There are alternative risk markets where you can get insured for just about anything, but it's still a cost that gets disproportionately shouldered by employers of young men.

    Just reduce the salary for reservists by the amount that "his/her" insurance costs.

      I am not a lawyer, but that doesn't sound legal: "Additionally, discrimination against employees on the basis of past, current, or intended military service is prohibited. As with other types of discrimination, this applies to hiring and firing decisions; compensation and benefits; and other employment decisions." http://military.findlaw.com/family-employment-housing/what-is-military-employment-discrimination.html http://military.findlaw.com/family-employment-housing/what-i... ...so the best solution from an employer perspective is to enter a risk pool that distributes the risk. Being a big enough employer solves that problem, but there should theoretically be pools for smaller employers to join as well. I wasn't aware if that was the case, which is why I was asking.
