Date   Sep 9, 2005

Federal contractors who are required to comply with the DOL's Veteran's Employment and Training Service (VETS) reporting requirements should be aware that the deadline to file the Federal Contractor Veterans' Employment Report (VETS-100) is September 30, 2005.

Federal contractors and subcontractors who entered into a federal contract of $25,000 or more before December 1, 2003, are required to file the VETS-100 Report. A federal contractor who entered contracts both before and after December 1, 2003, also is required to file a VETS-100 Report.

The Jobs for Veterans Act amended the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, changing federal contractor VETS-100 reporting requirements for contracts entered on or after December 1, 2003, by: (1) raising the reporting threshold from $25,000 to $100,000; and (2) modifying the categories of veterans in the VETS-100. However, these changes will not take effect until regulations are put into place.

If you have any questions regarding the VETS-100 requirement or other labor or employment related issues, please contract the Ford & Harrison attorney with whom you usually work or Michelle Harkavy, 901-291-1533.
