General Information

The job group single edit allows the user to view a job group for a single plan or for all plans. Navigation buttons allow the user to view other job groups. The window can be accessed by clicking the job groups icon on the toolbar and from the Job Group Grid Edit via the Tools button. Go to Availability Calculations for further information about the availability weights and calculations.

Controls

  • Availability & Utilization Tab
This tab displays a comparison of the percent of women and minorities currently assigned to this job group to the percent of women and minorities availability for recruitment into this job group. The availability figures are derived from the Weights Tab. Click on the desired statistical test to display the percent and number of persons underutilized, as well as whether a placement goal must be established. The Any Difference Rule uses 100% of the availability percentages to determine whether the job group is underutilized and must establish a placement goal. The 80% Rule uses 80% of the availability percentages to determine whether the job group is underutilized and must establish a placement goal. The 2 Standard Deviations determines whether the job group is underutilized and must establish a placement goal by calculating whether the difference between the availability of women and minorities and the current utilization of women and minorities is within 2 standard deviations. The 2 Standard Deviations test is commonly used by affirmative action planners. Clicking on Apply the Whole Person Rule eliminates the requirement to establish a placement goal for those groups where the number of persons underutilized is less than 1 person. OFCCP may resist the use of the Whole Person Rule when used in conjunction with any test other than the Any Difference Rule.
  • Notes Tab
Enter any desired explanatory notes to be printed on the Availability Analysis report.
