Understanding U.K. Regulatory Requirements

The PeopleSoft system provides the following U.K. regulatory reports to help you perform equal opportunity monitoring of a U.K. workforce by classifying job applicants, job offers, positions filled, and employees in specific gender and ethnic groups:

  • Adverse Impact.

  • Job Group Roster.

  • Joint Staffing Report.

  • Northern Ireland Report.

  • Termination Analysis.

  • Workforce Analysis.

Before you manage fair employment, equal opportunity, and disability discrimination issues for a U.K. workforce, enter the following employee information:

  • Gender information on the Modify a Person - Biographical Details page.

  • Ethnicity codes on the Modify a Person - Regional page.

  • Disability information on the Disability page.

For the Northern Ireland Fair Employment Monitoring Return, set up additional organization, employee, and applicant data.

You need to:

  • Identify the locations that are required to submit a Fair Employment Monitoring Return by selecting the Northern Ireland Reportable check box on the Location Profile page.

  • Assign a Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code to each of the organization's job codes on the Job Code Profile page.

  • Assign an employee class on the Job Data - Job Information page.

    The PeopleSoft system delivers the codes required on the Fair Employment Monitoring Return.

  • Record employees' community background on the Modify a Person - Regional page.

  • Record applicants' community background on the Applicant Eligibility/Identity page.

Warning! By law, Northern Ireland community background data for employees can be seen by a designated monitoring officer only. The PeopleSoft system includes a special role called HR Administrator NI (human resources administrator Northern Ireland) for this purpose.
