What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
First, I apologize if this is the wrong section of the forum to ask this.
I am the founder and owner of a small startup company. I don't know how soon I will be able to begin hiring (Whenever I get enough work to keep myself busy for 40+ hours per week, I'll be looking to hire). When I do begin hiring, I'll be opening up positions nationwide (It is planned as a 100% telecommuting company).
My question is, would it be legal for me to give preference to veterans and former service men and women when hiring? Bear in mind, the probability exists that I will be hiring people in other states to work from their homes.
Thanks for your time and input.
