Macquarie values your military services. We collect two types of self-identification information for Veterans, "Protected Veteran" and "Other Veteran". Certain entities within Macquarie are U.S. government contractors subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment: (1) disabled veterans; (2) recently separated veterans; (3) active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and (4) Armed Forces service medal veterans. Our Affirmative Action Plan is designed to set forth and measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. The classifications of protected veterans are defined as follows:
• A "disabled veteran" is: (1) A veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or (2) A person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
• A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service.
• An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized, under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. Go to http://www.opm.gov/staffingportal/vgmedal2.asp for a list.
• An "Armed Forces service medal veteran" means any veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985 (61 FR 1209). Go to http://www.opm.gov/staffingportal/vgmedal2.asp for a list.
