Reports to Run

Permits the user select the reports to prepare and whether they are done by Job Group, Job, Requisition or all three. We suggest that Applicant Flow, Promotions – From/Within and Terminations reports always be publish. You may publish all three at the same time by clicking each box.

• Applicant Flow

This option will publish the Applicant Flow report.

• Promotions-From/Within

This option will publish the Promotions From/Within report.

• Terminations

This option will publish the Terminations report.

• Compare

This option will publish reports with the data from user defined tabs. Select the fields to be compared from the two drop-down menus. The selection from the left hand box will be the group the comparison is made against. It will appear as the left hand column on the report.

• By Job Group

This option will publish a report by job group only.

• By Job

This option will publish a report by job only.

• By Requisition

This option will publish a report by requisition only.

• By Job Group, Job and Requisition

This option will publish a set of adverse impact analyses by job group. If any job group shows adverse impact an adverse impact report will be printed for each job in the job group with an issue if you have included the job code and name in your adverse impact data. Should there be adverse impact in a job and you have requisition codes an adverse impact analysis will be printed by requisition for the affected jobs.

• Test Results

Permits the user to determine how the results will be displayed.

• Display % results from tests

This option will print actual % results rather than a “yes” or “no” to indicate whether a group passed a test.

• Display Yes/No

This option will print a “yes” or “no” to indicate whether a group passed a test. It has been our experience that auditors do not object to reports printed with a “yes” or “no” rather than with actual results.

• Display % results and Yes/No

This option will print actual % results and a “yes” or “no” to indicate whether a group passed a test.

• % Results Header

The default column header for Display % results from tests is “Test Result”. You may change the header by deleting the existing text and typing alternate text.

• Yes/No Header

The default column header for Display Yes/No is “Statistically Significant?”. You may change the header by deleting the existing text and typing alternate text.

Display/Printing Options

• Show the Expected/Difference

This option will display the results of this calculation. Please see Adverse Impact Tests for an explanation of the calculation.

• Show the 80% Rule

This option will display the 80% Rule test results. Please see 80% or Four-Fifths Rule for an explanation of the calculation.

• Show 2 Standard Deviations

This option will display the 2 Standard Deviations test results. Please see Two Standard Deviations for an explanation of the calculation.

• Show Fishers Exact

This option will display the Fishers Exact test results. Please see Fishers Exact Test for an explanation of the calculation.

• Default Males and Whites as The Base Group

This option tells the software that males and whites are the group that all others should be compared against. If you uncheck this option, the software will use the “favored” group as the base group. The “favored” group may vary by job group and activity. This option can be helpful if you suspect reverse discrimination is occurring in your organization. It has been our experience that OFCCP does not question the use of this option in Adverse Impact Analyses, but they might question it if you do not.

• Only Show Records With Activity

Checking this box will show all analyses by Job Group but will include only Analyses by Job or Requisition that have activity.

• Breakout Minorities

Checking this box will include a list of all minorities groups and the statistics for each group.

• Show the Plan Dates

This option displays the current plan year’s dates in the lower left corner of each page. The current plan year dates are not the same as the dates for your Adverse Impact data. For example, if my Adverse Impact dates are 01/01/15 to 12/31/15, then my current plan year should be 01/01/14 to 12/31/14. It is recommended that you check this option.

• Show Unknowns

This option will show the number of applicants with unidentified race or gender.

• Current Midyear Report

Use this option if you have entered data in the Midyear portion of the Adverse Impact Table and wish to print reports on the Midyear data.

• Only Report Groups With Issues

Use this option if you have chosen to publish reports By Job Group, By Job, or By Requisition and you wish to see only the groups with adverse impact issues. This option is not available if By Job Group, Job and Requisition has been selected.
