Steps: Set Up Veteran Status Identification and Reporting

Steps: Set Up Veteran Status Identification and Reporting

Configure Workday to track veteran statuses for employees and extract data for compliance reports using the:
  • Veteran Status Identification
    business process.
  • VETS-4212
    report.
The
VETS-4212
report in Workday helps you extract data you can use for VETS-4212 reporting for the U.S. Department of Labor. Workday doesn't assume responsibility for your compliance with regulatory reporting requirements.
  1. Configure the
    Veteran Status Identification
    business process security policy in the Personal Data functional area.
  2. Edit Business Processes.
    Configure the
    Veteran Status Identification
    business process in the Personal Data functional area. You can configure the business process as a stand-alone business process or as a subprocess of the
    Onboarding
    business process.
  3. Edit Domain Security Policies.

    VETS-4212

  4. (Optional) If you want to report on veteran data for terminated workers, configure access to these domains and business process security policy in the Staffing functional area:
    • Worker Data: Active and Terminated Workers
      domain.
    • Worker Data: Current Staffing Information
      domain.
    • Worker Data: Historical Staffing Information
      domain.
    • Termination
      business process security policy.
  5. Create job categories matching the categories listed on the VETS-4212 form.
  6. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Veteran Status Identification Form
    task.
    1. Set the default description that displays for employees when they identify their veteran status. You can also configure your own descriptions for veteran status identification.
      All configured responses that identify a protected veteran must map to the Workday delivered value
      IDENTIFY AS ONE OR MORE OF THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF PROTECTED VETERANS
      . The mapping ensures that the
      VETS-4212
      report includes those responses as protected veterans.
    2. If you want employees to specify the type of protected veteran, select the
      Display Type of Protected Veteran Options
      check box.
    Security:
    Set Up: Veteran Status Identification - USA
    domain in the Regulatory Reporting (HCM) functional area.
  7. Configure your tenant to use trended data that's required to run the
    VETS-4212 Monthly Headcount for Minimum and Maximum
    report.
You can extract data from the
VETS-4212
report for compliance reporting.

You can access the
