Employers with U.S. Government contracts or subcontracts of $10,000 or more must list job openings with the Federal-State employment service system.   The exceptions to the aforemention are those positions affected by unions and internal hires/promotions/fills/recalls. In Hawaii, employers must list with the Workforce Development Division. The employer shall take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era.

Each Government contractor, holding a contract or subcontract for $50,000 or more and having at least 50 employees, is required to prepare and maintain an affirmative action program at each establishment which sets forth the policies and practices in hiring and promoting qualified disabled and Vietnam era veterans. The plan must be updated each year.

Provide equal employment opportunity, refrain from discrimination, and take affirmative action to employ and advance protected veterans in employment. This means to take positive steps in all employment practices to enable veterans to be considered for employment opportunities, including hiring, promotions, training, pay and for other purposes.

Employers are also required to immediately list with the local State employment service office all employment openings as part of the affirmative action. The exceptions to this are for executive and top management jobs, positions filled from within the employer's organization, union positions, and jobs lasting 3 days or less.

	Employers must list their jobs with the local State offices in one of the following ways:
		Contacting the local State employment offices to place job orders; or
		by entering individual jobs directly over the Internet through America's Job Bank (AJB) on http://www.ajb.dni.us; or
		linking their company computer with AJB's computer to transmit job vacancies directly. To learn how, contact AJB on (518) 457-3488 or via Internet (http://www.ajb.dni.us/ajbpi.html).
