Veteran Employment Preference Policy
Purpose

Policy Statement
5×5 Brewing Co. LLC may give preference in employment decisions—including hiring, promotion, and retention—to veterans over other qualified applicants or employees, as permitted by Texas law.
Definitions
For purposes of this policy, a “veteran” is an individual who has served in the United States Armed Forces and has been discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable.
Application of Preference
- When two or more applicants or employees are substantially equally qualified, 5×5 Brewing Co. LLC may choose to give preference to a veteran.
- The preference is not automatic; it is applied at the employer’s discretion and only within the scope allowed by Texas Labor Code §23.002.
Documentation
Veterans seeking preference may be asked to provide documentation of qualifying service (e.g., DD‑214 or equivalent).

Equal Employment Opportunity
