We know that many of you are busy preparing to file your EEO-1 and Vets 100/100A reports. Since our August EEO-1 and Vets BCGi webinar, we’ve received several questions about the reports. Just in case you have the same questions, we’ve shared our answers below.
We hope it’s helpful!

- My company has multiple locations. When I filed the EEO-1 report, a consolidated report was created when I filed for each location. Is there a consolidated company report for the Vets 100A as well?
- Answer: There isn’t a consolidated report (for the entire company) for Vets 100a filing. The EEO-1 filing is slightly different from Vets.
- Should US expats working abroad or foreign hires working in the US on a temporary basis be counted on either the Vets 100A or EEO-1 reports?
- Answer: US expats should not be reported since they work physically outside of the US. Temp employees should be excluded as well.
- If a recently separated vet is hired, when 36 months from the date of discharge pass, do you still count them as a recently separated vet or do you change their veteran status?
- Answer: They should not be counted as a recently separated veteran.
Please see FAQ:https://www.dol.gov/vets/contractor/main.htm#32- In November 2013 we hired a veteran who was then deployed the following January. During his leave of absence, should we count him as an employee/veteran on the EEO-1 and/or Vets 100A reports? He wasn’t paid in the payroll period I’m using or the ending period of the reports.
- Answer: If he was not on your payroll during the time frame that was selected, then he does not have to be counted. However, since he was hired within the 12 months period, he will be counted as a new hire.
- A new employee checks the box that says, “I am a protected veteran, but I choose not to self-identify the classifications to which I belong.” For Affirmative Action planning purposes, I know I will still count this new hire as a veteran. However, for the Vets 100A Report, how would I count this new hire’s veteran status if he/she chooses to check that box? What do you recommend we do?
- Answer: For this year, they will be included in the “Other protected Veteran” category. It is unclear where they will be counted once the VETS department updates the classifications and removes the “Other protected Veteran” category. We are waiting for updated FAQs to clarify this prior to the 2015 filings.
