This employer may be a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002,
38 U.S.C. 4212
(VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ
and advance in employment: (1) disabled veterans; (2) recently separated veterans;
(3) active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and (4) Armed Forces service
medal veterans. These classifications are defined as follows:
A
"disabled veteran" is one of the following:
- a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to
compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled
to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or
- a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service connected
disability.
A
"recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period
beginning on the date of such veteran’s discharge or release from active duty in
the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An
"active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served
on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war,
or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under
the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An
"Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving
on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated
in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was
awarded pursuant to
Executive Order 12985.
Protected veterans may have additional rights under USERRA—the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. In particular, if you were absent from employment
in order to perform service in the uniformed service, you may be entitled to be
reemployed by your employer in the position you would have obtained with reasonable
certainty if not for the absence due to service. For more information, call the
U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), toll-free,
at 1-866-4-USA-DOL.
