- 2009 VETS - 100/100A Reporting
The VETS-100/100A reporting cycle begins annually on August 1 and ends September 30. Companies are encouraged to submit reports online; however, reports that are mailed or submitted on a properly formatted CD or disk are still acceptable. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) annually collects and compiles the Federal Contractor Veterans' Employment Report (VETS-100) from Federal contractors and subcontractors who receive Federal contracts that meet the threshold amount of $25,000 or more prior to December 1, 2003 or $100,000 on or after December 1, 2003. Contractors with government contracts entered into or modified on or after December 1, 2003, worth $100,000 or more are required to file the VETS-100A by September 30, 2009.

- Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
On January 29, President Obama signed into law the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Key provisions of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act include:
Changes application of statute of limitations - The Ledbetter Act will make the issuance of a paycheck a discriminatory action. By making the time clock re-start each time an employee receives a paycheck, and potentially even when a retiree receives an annuity check, the Ledbetter Act will allow individuals to bring discrimination claims potentially many years after an alleged act of discrimination occurred. Employers will be liable for earlier management decisions for which there may be no records.
Expands plaintiff field - The Ledbetter Act will allow, not just an employee who was discriminated against, but, other individuals who were "affected" by an act of pay discrimination to file claims. Thus, the new law may allow family members, including spouses and children, and potentially others to become plaintiffs in discrimination suits over an employee's pay.
Amends other civil rights statutes - The Ledbetter Act will extend the statute of limitations for filing claims for all protected classes of employment law, including gender, age, color, disability, race, religion and national origin.
