DID YOU KNOW?
Unemployment among veterans ages 20 to 24 consistently outpaces non-veterans of the same age group. In 2005, the jobless rate hit 15.6% – the highest in at least two decades – dropping in 2006 to 10.4%. Still, that figure exceeded the 8.1% rate in 2006 for non-veterans in that age group. In direct contrast to these figures, studies show that veterans generally have a higher level of training in many of today's technologies than do non-veterans. Veterans Enteprise is committed to educating employers on the benefits of hiring vets and in assisting veterans transitioning from active duty back to the private sector find companies that realize the inherent value of hiring qualified veterans for myriad positions.

EEOC COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS

There are many recent changes in the laws, regulations and court case history which require employers to take steps to ensure compliance, as exemplified by recent changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act and enactment of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. There is also a greater emphasis on enforcement by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) which increases the potential liability each employer faces. For information on maintaining compliance visit CRI University for compliance updates and webinars.
