Set Up an Affirmative Action Plan

You must configure data on multiple screens to set up an affirmative action plan.

To set up an affirmative action plan:

  1. Establish job category codes in the Manage Job Categories screen.
  2. On this screen (Manage Affirmative Action Plans), define the Affirmative Action Plan Code .
  3. In the Coverage Dates group box, enter the Start Date and End Date of the plan.
  4. Fill in the rest of the main screen.
  5. Use the Assign Labor Locations subtask to link labor locations to a specific affirmative action plan.

    You can link many labor locations to the same plan. You must first assign employees to a detail job title and labor location on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen, and you must link the labor locations to an affirmative action plan before you run any affirmative action plan reports.

  6. Use the Weighted Percentages subtask to establish weighting factor percentages that are used in relation to a specific EEO code or Job Category code.

    These factor weights are required and determine the percentage of minorities and women available for employment in the Job Category or EEO code group. These factor weights are used by the Print Availability/Utilization Report screen. Employers are given discretion in assigning a weight to each factor based on its significance in furnishing employees for each Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) code or Job Category code level.

  7. Use the Manage Applicant Data screen to enter gender and race information for applicants applying for positions in your company between the plan's coverage Start Date and End Date .
