  1. Select Electronic VETS-4212 Report in the Name field.

  2. Enter the end date for the twelve month reporting period for which the report is being run. Only employees who were hired on or before this date are reported. If an employee was hired within 12 months prior to this date, then the employee is reported as a new hire. A recently separated veteran is considered protected if the period between their Military Discharge Date and the period end date is less than three years.

  3. Select the name of the establishment hierarchy to use for this report. Only employees with assignment locations belonging to this hierarchy are reported.

  4. Select the correct version number from the list for the chosen hierarchy. If an error occurs, then check that the hierarchy status is set correctly. The Hierarchy Version field is enabled only when a valid value is entered in the Hierarchy Name field.

  5. Select Yes or No in the Consolidate Under 50 field. If you select Yes, then the report consolidates the employee count across locations within one state and displays the count as a single count. If you select No, then the employee count is displayed separately for each location in each state.

  6. Submit the request.
