simplify compliance—Minimize Risk We are ready to help. Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and VEVRAA (Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act) are pivotal federal mandates requiring U.S. government contractors to promote equitable workplaces. Section 503 prohibits disability-based discrimination and enforces a 7% workforce utilization goal for qualified individuals with disabilities, while VEVRAA mandates hiring and retaining protected veterans, including setting annual hiring benchmarks and outreach efforts. Both laws are still in effect, demand rigorous documentation, and ongoing compliance tracking.
