General Options

• Report Title box

Clicking on the Restore Defaults button on the Report Options tab or Restore Report Options to Default Settings on the Reporting menu will restore the original text.

This box contains the text used for the report footer and can be edited by the user. Changes to the text will be saved for future use. Clicking on the Restore Defaults button on the Report Options tab or Restore Report Options to Default Settings on the Reporting menu will restore the original text.

• Include Options

Permits the user the include all employees, just full-time, or just part-time employees in the analysis. Part-time employees are sometimes excluded from the analysis of full-time employees if part-time employees are paid different rates.

• Salary Options

Permits the user to analyze base salaries or total salaries.

Clicking the box next to Convert PT to FTE causes the software to convert the salaries of part-time employees to the full-time equivalent when the number of hours worked is included in the employee data.

• Independent Variables

Permits the user to check the box next to those variables that are to be included in the analysis. These variables are defined in the Company Information window.

• Report On

Permits the user to select the type of groups that will be analyzed by clicking the radio button next to All Employees, Department, Job, Job Group, EEO, Salary Code, or SSEG Code. The user may then select groups to include in the report by clicking the button to move all groups from the Available list on the left to the Selected list on the right, or by clicking the button to select specific groups. Double-clicking on a group will also move that group over to the selected list.

Display/Printing Options

• Discard multicollinear independent variables

Checking this box causes the program to exclude any independent variables that have the same or substantially the same data as another independent variable. For example, using the variables Original Hire Date and Most Recent Hire Date may contain the same data for some jobs being analyzed and one of the variables should be omitted from the report.

• Only use IVs that are correlated with salary

Checking this box causes the program to include only those independent variables that have a statistically significant impact on salaries.

• Only groups that meet the size threshold

Only groups with at least 30 total employees and subgroups with at least 5 employees are considered large enough to render meaningful results and will be printed. For example, if there were 31 males and 4 females in the group, the total group size of 35 is large enough, but the Female subgroup is too small to meet the size threshold.

• Breakout Minorities

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

Checking this box will display the detailed statistics.
