Understanding 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 HR Administer Workforce.

However, if you enter a person as an applicant through PeopleSoft Talent Acquisition Manager, 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 recruiting pages and fields that you must complete for the Adverse Impact report to run properly.
