VETS USERRA and Veterans Preference Investigations

Description

This dataset contains information on claims of potential violations of the Uniformed Services Employment Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and Veterans Preference (VP). The VETS’ Case Management System (VCMS) allows USERRA claimants to submit claims to VETS involving potential USERRA and Veterans Preference violations. Claimants may also monitor the status of their claim, request withdrawal and referral actions, and upload evidence and other documents directly to their assigned investigator through the VCMS. VETS’ investigators use the VCMS as the case file of record to conduct investigations based on the claims submitted by claimants. The VCMS maintains secure copies of all investigative files, and case elements, and produces data regarding investigations for formal reporting requirements. This system contains 100 relational tables. DOL-VETS produce annual and quarterly Reports to Congress on USERRA. The source data for those reports are run using SQL, and we keep the data pulls in a secure SharePoint site for audit purposes. Those ""official"" data pulls are done quarterly on the 1st of the month after the end of the quarter.
