About the Importance of Domain Values

Values in the W_EVENT_TYPES table are used to create metrics in the front end. Some metrics are defined using domain values. For example, seven metrics use the HIR and REH event group code in their calculation. The following are the seven metrics, along with their descriptions and calculations:

Hire Count

This metric counts all hires for a specified period. The calculation is:

SUM(CASE WHEN (CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE IN ('HIR','REH')) THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END)

Rehires Ratio

This metric determines the ratio of rehires to all employees hired during a specified period. The calculation is:

CASE WHEN SUM(CASE WHEN CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE IN ('REH','HIR') THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END) = 0 THEN 0 ELSE SUM(CASE WHEN CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE IN ('REH') THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END)/SUM(CASE WHEN CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE IN ('REH','HIR') THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END) END

New Hire Count

This metric counts the headcount hired for regular full-time positions. The calculation is:

SUM(CASE WHEN CMMNEMPT.FULL_TIME_FLAG = 'Y' AND CMMNEMPT.EMP_CAT_CODE = 'R' AND (CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'HIR' OR CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'REH') AND EVNT.EVENT_DK >= (CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY - 365) AND EVNT.EVENT_DK <= CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END)

Newly Separated Veterans - New Hires

This metric counts the regular full-time and part-time employees who belong to this category of veterans and were hired during the previous 12 months. The calculation is:

SUM(CASE WHEN CMMNEMPD.VETERAN_STAT_CODE = '4' AND CMMNEMPT.EMP_CAT_CODE = 'R' AND (CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'HIR' OR CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'REH') AND EVNT.EVENT_DK >= (CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY - 365) AND EVNT.EVENT_DK <= CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END)

Other Protected Veterans - New Hires

This metric counts regular full-time and part-time employees who belong to this category of veterans. The calculation is:

SUM(CASE WHEN CMMNEMPD.VETERAN_STAT_CODE = '3' AND CMMNEMPT.EMP_CAT_CODE = 'R' AND (CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'HIR' OR CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'REH') AND EVNT.EVENT_DK >= (CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY - 365) AND EVNT.EVENT_DK <= CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END)

Special Disabled Veteran Headcount - New Hires

This metric counts regular full-time and part-time employees who belong to this category of veterans and were hired during the previous 12 months. The calculation is:

SUM(CASE WHEN CMMNEMPD.VETERAN_STAT_CODE = '1' AND CMMNEMPT.EMP_CAT_CODE = 'R' AND (CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'HIR' OR CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'REH') AND EVNT.EVENT_DK >= (CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY - 365) AND EVNT.EVENT_DK <= CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END)

Vietnam Era Veteran Headcount - New Hires

This metric counts regular full-time and part-time employees who belong to this category of veterans and were hired during the previous 12 months. The calculation is:

SUM(CASE WHEN CMMNEMPD.VETERAN_STAT_CODE = '2' AND CMMNEMPT.EMP_CAT_CODE = 'R' AND (CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'HIR' OR CMMNEVTP.W_EVENT_GRP_CODE = 'REH') AND EVNT.EVENT_DK >= (CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY - 365) AND EVNT.EVENT_DK <= CMMNDATE.DATE_KEY THEN EVNT.EVENT_CNT ELSE 0 END)

Each of these metric calculations is based on the domain values HIR and REH. All records whose source values are converted to one of these domain values are included in the metric calculations, as shown in Figure 24.
