Rule for Vets Medallion Program

The Department of Labor has issued a final rule establishing the Vets Medallion Program, which recognizes employers for their efforts in recruiting and retaining veterans. The rule details the criteria for eligibility and the process for applying to receive the Vets Medallion.

This program is primarily aimed at employers who hire veterans. While the rule itself does not impose new compliance obligations or penalties, employers interested in this recognition should review the criteria and application procedures outlined in the Federal Register document. The effective date of the rule is November 13, 2017.
