Meaning of Veteran Status

I am reading a company's in-house rules.

"An employee must not engage in any threatening, intimidating or hostile activity, or use epithets or slurs that relate to race, color, religion, gender, marital status, national origin, citizenship, age, veteran status...."

I think such corporate rules are not unusual these days.

My question is whether "veteran status" refers the status of "someone who has been a soldier, sailor etc in a war" or "someone who has been working for a long time in the company"?
