Abstract: The Department of Labor is publishing and NPRM to propose regulations implementing the Honoring Investments Recruiting and Employing (HIRE) American Military Act of 2017 (the Act). The HIRE Vets Act requires the Department to annually solicit and accept voluntary information from employers for consideration of employers to receive a HIRE Vets Medallion Award. The Act establishes specific criteria for large employers and allows the Department discretion in establishing additional criteria for each large employer award level and criteria for small and medium employers to qualify for similar awards. The NPRM proposes the application process and criteria that the Department intends to use to receive, review, and process applications to verify the information provided; and award the HIRE VETS.
