Employers that are required to file VETS-100/100A reports with the US Department of Labor have been given an extra 15 days to file reports for 2011.  (Reports originally were due September 30, 2011, but the deadline previously was extended to December 30, 2011 due to technological issues on the Department of Labor’s report-filing website).  Under the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1972 (VEVRAA), federal contractors and those contractors that are covered by VEVRAA’s affirmative action provisions must report each year the number of employees in their workforces, by job category and hiring location, who are qualified covered veterans, as well as the number of new hires that are covered veterans.  In general, an employer is subject to the reporting requirements if it is party to a contract or subcontract in the amount of $100,000 or more ($25,000 or more if entered into before December 1, 2003) with a department, agency, or other “instrumentality” of the United States for the purchase, sale, or use of personal or nonpersonal services.  More information is available here.
