New Veteran Hiring Benchmark Released
Summary
They can either adopt the national percentage of veterans in the civilian labor force as published on the OFCCP’s website, or engage in a five-factor analysis incorporating multiple data sources that are not all easily accessible. Not surprisingly, most if not all contractors simply adopt the national veteran percentage, traditionally updated each year on March 31. As a result, when determining whether or not the benchmark was met, only employees who indicate they are a “protected veteran” count toward your hiring total. However, if the benchmark is not met, the next step is akin to a missed placement goal in your Executive Order 11246 AAP. We also provide people with a way to opt in or out of things like veteran recognition events because we understand that not everyone wants attention drawn to their service.
