Free Veterans Day Planner for HR and Managers (Policy Cost Calculator, Veteran Survey, Run Sheet, Announcements, Cards and Charity Checklist)

Most Veterans Day advice is a list of events. This planner helps you decide the policy, ask veterans what they want, run something respectful and give to a charity you have checked.

Inside:

• A 12-page PDF (US Letter and A4): a policy decision sheet with sample wording, an optional veteran survey, respect rules and what to say, a 60-minute run sheet with an announcement email, Wall of Honor entry forms, thank-you cards, a charity checklist, an 11-day plan, a budget and results sheet and a pre-event checklist.
• An Excel calculator: enter headcount, veterans, staff who work that day, pay and payroll costs to compare five policy options. It also has a budget sheet, a survey tally, a participation tracker, a charity check, an 11-day plan with dates that fill in from your date and a run sheet.

All numbers are examples and count wages only. This is general information, not legal advice; rules on veterans' time off differ by state. Free for use in your own organization. Do not resell or post the files online.
