     6  against the tax imposed by this article, if it employs  members  of  the
     7  New  York  national guard and reserves. Provided, however, such taxpayer
     8  shall comply with the Uniformed  Services  Employment  and  Reemployment
     9  Rights  Act,  as found in section 4301 et seq. of title 18 of the United
    10  States Code.
    11    (b) Amount of credit. The credit allowed pursuant to paragraph (a)  of
    12  this  subdivision shall be in an amount equal to fifteen hundred dollars
    13  for each national guard or reserve member employed by such employer  and

    22  section two hundred ten of this article.   If, however,  the  amount  of
