It appears that the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) is once again having problems with the on-line system used to file the annual VETS-100 and VETS-100A reports. This has been something of an annual issue and it’s not clear why VETS can’t seem to develop a system that allows for the effective filing of these reports. However, for the moment, companies will need to wait to file for 2013.
Federal contractors and subcontractors are required to file the VETS-100 and/or VETS-100A report in the third quarter of each year. We believe that almost without exception companies should be filing the VETS-100A report rather than the VETS-100 report, as the VETS-100 report is only used by companies that have unmodified federal contracts from earlier than December of 2003. A very small number of companies have contracts which are that old, and almost all (if not all) of these contracts have been modified in some way. Thus, companies should be filing the VETS-100A report.
OFCCP is routinely asking for copies of the latest VETS-100 or 100A filings during compliance reviews, and thus it is important to file the report. It's simply not clear when companies will be able to do so for 2013. VETS notice about the VETS-100/100A filing says "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the VETS 100/100A filing systems and we are not able to receive filings at the present time. We hope to have these system issues resolved shortly and appreciate your patience."
