PRINT VETS-4212 REPORT
The U.S. Department of Labor published a final rule which revises the VETS-100A Report and renamed it to VETS-4212 Report. Moreover, the VETS-100 Report will no longer be used although the Military Status fields associated with this report will remain in the Manage Employee Information screen. This final Rule is effective October 27, 2014 and will apply in 2015.
From the Print VETS-4212 Report screen, you can print a count of protected veteran employees as designated by the Military Status data found in the Basic Employee Info tables. This report only includes the following employees under the Protected Veteran category where the count is broken down by Job Category.
-
Disabled Veteran
-
Active Duty Wartime or Campaign Badge Veteran
-
Armed Forces Service Medal Veteran

Recently Separated Veteran
-
Protected Veteran (Declined to Self-Identify)

An employee belonging to more than one military status will only be counted once. This report is required by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Identification
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve
a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen
selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related
parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes
more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are
also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of
a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different
way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter
ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters
automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print
options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any.
You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Parameter ID
Enter, or click 
to select, a parameter
ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter
ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such
as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are
stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using
Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because
you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections.
After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the
defaults.
Description
Enter, or click to select, a parameter
description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
