Title: Annual Report for Federal Contractors | |
Abstract: The Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) issued a final rule implementing changes required by the Veterans' Employment Opportunities Act of 1998. The Act requires most Federal contractors and subcontractors with contracts in the amount of $25,000 or more to report their efforts toward hiring and employment of qualified veterans. The Act adds an additional category of veterans, "other veterans who have served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized," to the list of protected veterans under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act, as amended (VEVRAA). The Act also adds the requirement that covered contractors and subcontractors report their minimum and maximum number of employees. This rule will assist VETS in meeting the statutory requirement of annually collecting the VETS-100 Report. After publication VETS learned that the final rule may inadvertently increase recordkeeping burden on some contractors. Accordingly, an interim final rule will be published permitting contractors flexibility in how they determine the maximum and minimum number of employees reported. | |
