Weighted Percentages Subtask

Use the Weighted Percentages subtask to assign weights to the availability factors for the affirmative action plan.

These weights are used for the Availability/Utilization Report relating to a specific Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) code or Job Category code.

In the Availability/Utilization analysis, employers must consider two factors designed to determine the percentage of minorities and women available for employment in the EEO code group or job category. Employers are given discretion in weighting each factor according to its significance in furnishing employees for each EEO code/job category code level.

Set up this screen after you have established your affirmative action plan(s), and before printing the Availability/Utilization Report.
