Recently, the OFCCP published the new “Am I a Protected Veteran?” infographic, to assist veterans in identifying the “protected veteran” categories and help them to determine their eligibility for coverage under the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA) regulations. The VEVRAA regulations require contractors to invite applicants and employees to voluntarily self-identify as a protected veteran during both the pre- and post-offer stages of employment.
For your convenience, this infographic includes a list of the service periods that may be counted as active duty covered under VEVRAA, and is available for download via your HResource site, in the Compliance Tools section - VEVRAA/Section 503 templates toolkit.
