If U.S. government employment regulations apply to your company, you need to implement plans and practices to ensure that your company consistently meets U.S. reporting requirements.

Human Resources provides tables to help you manage the information that you need to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) is the only report in which disabled employees are counted.

Additionally, PeopleSoft provides the following regulatory reports:

Access the Establishment Address page (Workforce Monitoring, Meet Regulatory Rqmts, Define Regulatory Rqmts Data, Establishments, Establishment Address).

Beginning in 2005, the U.S. Equal Employee Opportunity Commission only accepts EEO-1 Report submissions through their web-based filing system. Previously, the Commission accepted computer-generated printouts of the EEO-1 Report. For employers required to submit the annual EEO-1 Report, PeopleSoft provides a process for submitting the report via a Data File uploaded through the EEO-1 Web Application. While the submission of the EEO-1 report using Alternate Reporting Format (ARF) is voluntary, employers who elect to use this method must comply with all of its requirements without exception.

This way, you offer the applicants the opportunity to describe their disabilities and any accommodations that they need to perform the job tasks.

Click to jump to parent topicSetting Up Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) Reporting

To set up the PRWORA report, use the Record Definition component (HR_RFW_RECDEFN), Variable Definition component (HR_RFW_SYSVAR), Data Definition component (HR_RFW_DSODEFN), Report Type Definition component (HR_RFW_RPTDEFN), Clone Report Type component (HR_RFW_RPTCLONE), and New Hire Report Configuration component (HR_RFWPRW_CONFIG).

This section provides an overview of the PRWORA report and discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) Report

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) was enacted as a means of locating individuals and recovering delinquent child support payments through wage garnishment. Consequently, employers are required to report specific information on all newly hired salaried employees generally within 20 days of their date of hire. States are responsible for collecting the data and administering the program.

Note. The PRWORA reporting feature provides the flexibility to maintain and manage state-specific regulatory reporting requirements. You must review and modify the Report Type Definitions to add information specific to your organization.

At the very minimum, employers must submit a report to the state that includes the following information :

Some states require more information such as:

Additionally, some states require reporting of independent contractors who meet particular criteria. For example, the state of Massachusetts requires persons with earnings greater than $600 per year be reported.

Note. It is the customer's responsibility to review the laws in your respective filing state and confirm the report layout is correct for your organization. Many states require organization-specific details that are not stored in your PeopleSoft system. This information must be entered in the "Override" field on the Report Type Definition page for the respective fields.

Report Assumptions

The following assumptions and defaults are made by the system when generating the PRWORA New Hire report:

Setting up the New Hire Report

The New Hire Report provides an online method of defining the PRWORA Federal- and State-level reporting requirements. With it, you can select the fields you want included in your New Hire Report, define records and variables, set up report columns, and clone copies of a report. Once the report is customized for your purposes, you can generate the appropriate data/text file for electronic reporting.

Setting up the New Hire Report Layout

The New Hire Configuration page contains the federal and state report definitions used by PeopleSoft HCM to generate the electronic reporting files for a particular regulatory region or state. From this page you can view and customize the report definition layout. Only those states supporting electronic filing are listed.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting Up System Variables

Access the Variable Definition page (Set Up HRMS, Common Definitions, Electronic Reporting, Variable Definition, Variable Definition).

Use the Variable Definition page to define the variables that will be used in the creation of the New Hire Report. Variables are defined to address particular attributes of the file layout required by the reporting entity. Reporting entities can specify on their required file layouts general, report-wide attributes, or attributes specific to an individual field.

An example of a report-wide variable may be that the report requires only Employees to be contained in the report population. Other states may require that Contingent Workers (for example, consultants) also be included in the report population. Variables are defined for constant values (EMP or CWR, respectively). Another example of a report-wide variable is if all date fields must use a specific format (for example, MMDDYYYY). Variables are defined specifying each possible format.

Variables are later specified on the Report Type Definition and Report Columns layout pages.

The Database Field Details define which variable value will be resolved whenever data is fetched from the appropriate record.

Human Resources supports Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Plan (EEO/AAP) reporting requirements by enabling you to classify jobs and positions filled by applicants and employees in specific gender and ethnic groups. Use this information to define affirmative action goals and timetables and generate the necessary government reports.

Requirements that have been set forth by the U.S. government have made it necessary that Affirmative Action plan and goal information be reported based on establishments and job groups. Regulations pertaining to EEO/AAP reporting are Executive Order 11246 (EEO) and Public Law 88-352, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Employment Act of 1972. Recordkeeping and reporting requirements have been amended by Title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations part 60-2 (AAP reporting) and part 61-250 (VETS reporting).

Human Resources supplies standard reports with the appropriate information in the standard federal reporting format.

This section discusses:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUsing U.S. Establishment Functionality

The U.S. government set requirements for Affirmative Action plan and goal information reporting based on establishments and job groups. The establishment/location allows for a many-to-many relationship to exist between location and establishment ID.

You can enter the regulatory region that is associated with the location. Select one or more establishment IDs for the location. You can also use the establishment-location relationship for Affirmative Action planning, EEO, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and other U.S. federal reporting regulations. Enter one or more location codes to associate with the establishment.

Note. In order for reports to be counted, populate the establishment ID on the job record for employees in U.S. locations.

See Defining Establishments.

See Establishing Locations.

Establishments in Affirmative Action Reporting

EEO reports are organized by establishment. A company's headquarters unit and each of its hiring locations are considered separate establishments. A single-establishment employer is required to file a single report.

A multi-establishment employer (doing business at more than one hiring location) files separate reports for each of the following locations:

In addition, multi-establishment employers must file a consolidated report covering all establishments, as well as a list of all the establishments with less than 50 employees that are included in the tabulations on the consolidated report but for which no individual establishment report is filed.

Note. Human Resources does not provide consolidated reporting information for companies with a total of fewer than 50 persons if all establishments are located in a single state.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting Up EEO Reporting Requirements

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires that most companies file one or more reports from the series EEO-1 through EEO-5. These reports count male and female employees in certain ethnic groups by federal employment categories. Before running the EEO reports, you need to set up the following data about your organization's establishments and EEO job categories:

  1. Create U.S. establishments on the Establishment - Establishment Address page (Workforce Monitoring, Meet Regulatory Rqmts, Define Regulatory Rqmts Data, Establishments, Establishment Address).

  2. Enter EEO job categories on the Job Code Table - Job Code Profile page (Set Up HRMS, Foundation Tables, Job Attributes, Job Code Table, Job Code Profile).

  3. Assign establishment IDs on the secondary page of the Location Table - Location Profile page (Workforce Monitoring, Meet Regulatory Rqmts, Define Regulatory Reqmts Data, Establishments, Go to Locations, Location Profile).

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Adverse Impact Reporting Requirements

The Adverse Impact report (HRS001) provides analysis information on recruitment and hiring practices to help determine whether specific actions by an employer are influenced by ethnicity, sex, or other EEO/AA issues. The report compares employment hiring decisions for white males to members of ethnic minorities and females. The government requires certain employers to assess adverse impact annually. This report helps in determining the effect of EEO/AA issues on hiring practices and employee movements in an organization, such as promotions, transfers, and terminations.

Use the report to detect evidence of adverse selection within ethnic groups in the recruitment and hiring activities. The report compares white males, selected ethnic groups, and sex, and includes a total for each group and for each category as a whole. In addition to the count totals, the report calculates the ratio of total offers in each group to the total applicants in the group, and the impact on ethnic minorities as compared to white males.

Entering Applicant Data for the Adverse Impact Report

You need to enter certain data for job applicants and employees before you run the Adverse Impact report. The system recognizes a person as both a new hire and an applicant for purposes of the Adverse Impact report if you hire the person through the Hire component in PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Administer Workforce.

However, if you enter a person as an applicant through Human Resources Recruiting, the system only counts the applicant for the Adverse Impact report if you complete certain fields on the Applicant Personal Data page and the Application Data page. The following table shows the pages and fields in Human Resources Recruiting that you must complete for the Adverse Impact report to run properly.

Under the Veterans Employment Opportunity Act of 1998, certain employers must submit the VETS-100 report as part of the federal contractor program. If your organization is a nonexempt federal contractor or subcontractor with contracts or subcontracts totaling $25,000 or more, you must submit the report to the Department of Labor every year.

The report details the number of special disabled veterans, Vietnam-era veterans, and other protected veterans in your workforce by job category and hiring location, as well as the total number of employees, special disabled veterans, Vietnam-era veterans, and other protected veterans hired during the reporting period.

This section discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting Up the VETS-100 Report

If you are a federal contractor subject to VETS-100 reporting requirements, you must set up specific company, establishment, job code, and employee information in your system before you run the report. Run the VETS-100 Process to perform the calculations and load the values into a temporary table, and then run the VETS-100 Analysis process to create a report of the findings for internal use (optional) and the VETS-100 Submit process to create the digital file for submission.

Using Military Discharge Date

Use the Military Discharge Date to enter the discharge date for employees. This date is used to determine which veterans qualify for the Newly Separated Veteran designation. The Military Discharge Date provides accurate data for the following year's reporting cycle. Newly Separated Veterans are determined by verifying that a valid military status is selected and that the military discharge date is within 365 days of the reporting date.

Establishments in VETS-100 Reporting

VETS-100 reporting is organized by establishment. A company's headquarters unit and each of its hiring locations are considered separate establishments. A single-establishment employer files a single completed form.

A multi-establishment employer (doing business at more than one hiring location), files separate forms for each of the following locations:

The USF Vets-100 by POI (U.S. federal veterans-100 by personnel office identifier) report generates a Veterans employment report by POI.

The USF Vets-100 by Sub-Agency report generates a Veterans employment report by sub-agency.

VETS-100 Process

Because the VETS-100 report is complex and time consuming to run, PeopleSoft has separated the process from the report. Run the process on a high-powered server at a time when it is not heavily used. You can also run the process by establishment over the course of a few days, rather than running it for all employees at once.

The VETS-100 Process collects the data and stores it in a temporary table. The data stays in this table until you run the VETS-100 Submit process for it. Running the VETS-100 Process successive times does not delete or overwrite data unless you run it twice for the same establishment or fail to run the VETS-100 Submit process between reporting years.

VETS-100 Analysis

The VETS-100 Analysis process is an informational report that displays the data that you submit to the government when you create the VETS100.TXT file with the VETS-100 Submit process. Running this report does not affect the data in the temporary table. Run the VETS-100 Process before running this report. You can also use the VETS-100 Analysis process to report on VETS-100 history; you cannot report on years before 2000.

Vets-100 Submit

The VETS-100 Submit process creates a digital file that meets the VETS specifications using the data in the temporary table and transfers the data from the temporary table to a history table. The VETS-100 Submit process only removes data from the temporary table that should be written to the digital file. If the temporary table contains data for the entire organization and you run the VETS-100 Submit process for the headquarters only, data for establishments outside of headquarters remains in the temporary table until you run the VETS-100 Submit process to capture it. You can also use the VETS-100 Submit process to recreate a digital file based on VETS-100 history.

When calculating the minimum and maximum employee counts, PER027.SQR uses a method in which the first day of the selected reporting period is compared to the last day of the reporting period. The day with the most employees is considered the maximum count, while the day with the fewest is considered the minimum count. This method is very broad and VETS does not prefer this method. However, the preferred method according to VETS regulation is not required and the method used is subject to the discretion of the employer reporting the data.

Before you run the VETS-100 Process, complete the tables and fields required for the report.

Affected Page

Affected Fields

Comments

Company - Company Location

 

The company must be set up for the report to run properly.

Company - Default Settings

Federal EIN (federal employer's tax identification number)

This nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service is required for VETS-100 reporting.

Establishment - Establishment Address

Establishment Description

Address

Headquarters Unit

Each company for which you perform VETS-100 reporting must identify an establishment as its headquarters unit. A company is a single-establishment company, if this establishment is also the headquarters unit. If the company is a multi-establishment company, you must designate an establishment as the headquarters unit. This setup is essential for the VETS-100 Federal Contractor Structured Query Report (SQR) to work properly.

Establishment - Establishment Address

NAICS code (North American industrial classification system code)

VETS-100 Unit Number

Dun and Bradstreet Number

This is a six-digit classification code that identifies the industrial classification of your company's primary economic activity. This information appears on the VETS-100 report. If the government requires you to provide a standard industrial classification (SIC) code instead of a NAICS code, enter it in the NAICS field.

The government no longer uses the VETS-100 Unit Number for VETS-100 reporting. Use this field to enter the company number provided by the Department of Labor.

The Dun and Bradstreet number is also referred to as the DUNS number or the Dun and Bradstreet Universal Numbering System.

Job Code Table - Job Code Profile

Job code

EEO-1 Job Category

If you are a federal contractor subject to VETS-100 reporting requirements, you must report on all employees within your company. All of the job codes must be linked to an EEO-1 job category, and all employees must be assigned a job code.

When you assign a job code to an individual employee in the Job Data component, the employee is automatically linked to an EEO-1 job category. When you run the VETS-100 report SQR, the system processes the employee's veteran status information and combines it with other employees within the same EEO-1 job category. The system selects the EEO-1 job category information as of the report run date.

Add New Applicant - Eligibility/Identity

Military Status

If you select Vietnam-Era Veteran as an employee's military status, the system includes the employee in the count for the Vietnam Era Veterans column of the VETS-100 report.

Disability

All

If you select the Disabled Veteran check box, the system includes the employee in the Special Disabled Veterans column of the VETS-100 report.
