Adverse Impact Reports

Adverse Impact Analysis reports display the applicant, hire, base group, promotion from/within and termination data that are in the Adverse Impact table of the software. The report uses a statistical test to determine if adverse impact exists in the hiring rates of women as compared to men, and minorities as compared to whites. The Complete AAP defaults the use of The Fisher’s Exact Test, which was developed to more accurately compare the selection ratios of minorities to whites, and females to males in groups. The default settings* in The Complete AAP deem a reported number of greater than .05 as passing the Fisher's Exact test. Though The Fisher’s Exact test can be calculated in a variety of different ways, a number of .05 or less is considered by the OFCCP to be a statistically significant indication that the difference in selection rates occurred by something other than chance.

Applicant Flow

The Adverse Impact Analysis (Applicant Flow) report compares the number of hires to the number of applicants in each job group. The percentage of hires is calculated by dividing the number of hires by the number of applicants. The difference in the percentage of hires between males versus females, and whites versus minorities is run through a statistical test* to determine if it is statistically significant.

Promotions (From/Within)

The Adverse Impact Analysis (Promotions – From/Within) report calculates the percentage of promotions by dividing the number of promotions by the base group.

Terminations

The Adverse Impact Analysis (Terminations) report calculates the percentage of terminations by dividing the number of terminations by the base group.
