Cascade Corporate Job Group Weights to Sub plans

In the default view (Corporate Job Group Weights), Factor Weights can be applied to all plans by scrolling down to the Sub Plans menu. Select : Yes. Apply changes to my sub plans.

Review this setting before clicking [Save].

Import Factor Weight Settings from a Master Plan

When selecting to [Import] weights from another Master Plan, two options are available.

  • Apply Corresponding Sub Plan Settings — If Plan Codes match, the source sub-plan settings will be imported into each current sub plan.

Note: If a corresponding source sub plan does not exist, the settings will be cascaded from the Master Plan.

  • Apply Master Plan Settings — The source Master Plan settings will be applied to the current sub plans.

Note: If the source plan is not a Master Plan, the sub-plan settings will be set to match the Master Plan.

(Optional) Assign Factor Weights by EEO Job Group

If EEO was selected as the Job Group structure for one or more sub plans, the Factor Weights screen will display a second tab for EEO Job Group Weights. Here, you can assign weights by EEO Job Group to apply across all sub plans with that structure.

For each Job Group, the displayed weights for Factor 1 and Factor 2 may be edited. The last column will display the system's calculation for Quick Weight Percentage by EEO Job Group (the ratio of promotions to hires currently represented in the Master Plan). This percentage can be used to help determine the weight that should be entered for Factor 2. As you make entries, the system will adjust the total to 100%.

Click [Save] to apply the Factor Weights, which will override any weights set within a sub plan.

Run the Best Utilization Rule Report

By clicking the [Best[Determine Best Utilization Report]Rule] button in a Master Plan, the BEST UTILIZATION RULE report can be run for:

  • Current [Master] Plan
  • All Plans
  • Each Plan Separately
