The U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) and Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs (OFCCP) have supported affirmative actions to employ and advance in employment of covered veterans since 2008. Contractors and subcontractors who enter into, or modify a contract or subcontract with the federal government, and whose contract meets the criteria set forth in the applicable legislation / regulations, are required to report annually on their affirmative action efforts in employing veterans. Data reported through form VETS-4212 is used by OFCCP in compliance evaluations.
The Vets-4212 2022 form and file specs have been posted by the agency. The updates will be included in the Q3 2022 Sage HRMS product update scheduled to be released September 15, 2022. There are no substantive differences to the 2022 form other than the pre-printed twelve month period ending date at the top of the form which has been updated to 2022.
The 2022 filing cycle begins August 1, 2022. Contractors are strongly encouraged to file the report electronically, however, the Vets-4212 reporting can also be done via a file upload or online via the reporting application. The report may be submitted by email or by U.S. mail as well.
