AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SETTINGS

Use this screen to establish high-level choices for operating Costpoint Affirmative Action. In this screen you can select your default affirmative action plan, select the method with which you would like to track employment history, and select the word processing package for your affirmative action plan documents.

Enter this information as part of your initial Costpoint Human Resources setup. If you use one affirmative action plan exclusively or frequently, return to this screen after you have set up your affirmative action plan codes and choose that plan code as a default. This will save time in setting up employees and using this particular affirmative action plan.
