Tracking Veteran Status

Background

If your business is a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), you may be required to track and report the veteran status of your employees on form VETS-4212.  For more information, check out our article, “Are You Keeping up With Your VETS Reporting Responsibilities?”

If you have Patriot’s HR Software add-on, you can track employee Veteran Status on the employee record.

How to Track Employee Veteran Status

  1. Go to Payroll > Employee List > {Employee Name} >Employee Info page.
  2. Click “Edit.”
  3. Under the “Demographics” section, you can add the Veterans status of the employee.
  4. Click “Save.” 
  5. You will be able to run a demographics report that will provide you with the data you need to enter on the VETS-4212 report each year.  Check out our Employee Demographics Report help article for more information.

💡 If the employee has registered for their employee portal, they can self-identify their veteran status on their Personal Info page and this will automatically show in their record. Employees are asked, but not required, to indicate whether they are a protected veteran.
