IMPACT RATIO ANALYSIS

• COMPARING LIKE APPLICANTS TO LIKE
  HIRES/PROMOTIONS(Positive IRA)
• Note WHAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BID OR
  APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR PROMTIONS?
• AND COMPARING LIKE TERMINATIONS TO LIKE EMPLOYEES
  IN THE WORKFORCE(Negative IRA)

11
COMPARING

• MINORITIES TO NON-MINORITIES
• FEMALES TO MALES

RED FLAGS
12
EXAMPLE

• 100 applicants for the job
• 30 minorities
• 70 non-minorities
• 20 new hires for the job
• 5 minority
• 15 non-minority

IRA CALCULATION Divide of minorities hired by
of minority applicants (5/30 ___)
Divide of non-minorities hired by of
non-minority applicants (15/70___)
13
EXAMPLE (continued)
IRA CALCULATION Minority hire rate .166 or 16

• 100 applicants for the job
• 30 minorities
• 70 non-minorities
• 20 new hires for the job
• 5 minority
• 15 non-minority

Non-minority hire rate .214 or 21.4
We now know that minorities were hired at a lower
rate than non-minorities when comparing applicant
flow...now calculate the 80 rule
14
EXAMPLE (continued)

• 100 applicants for the job
• 30 minorities
• 70 non-minorities
• 20 new hires for the job
• 5 minority
• 15 non-minority

IRA CALCULATION To find out if this group of
hires falls outside of the 80 rule, divide the
minority termination rate (.266) by the
non-minority termination rate (.171) _______
15
DO WE HAVE ADVERSE IMPACT AGAINST MINORITIES?

• .642 or 64.2 is less than the 80 rule (more
  than the 20 chance)
• This group of hires shows Adverse Impact against
  minority applicants
• (a standard deviation should then be calculated)

16
IMPACT RATIO ANALYSIS
See handout

• Hiring Activity for 2006
• You acquired 300 applications for white collar
  jobs as Administrators and hired 50 new employees
  from these applications
• Female applicants 55
• Male applicants 215
• Unknown 30
• Females hired 5
• Males hired 45

17
To calculate, using the 80 rule, you must first
calculate the percent of hire for each group

• Female applicants 55
• Male applicants 215
• Unknown 30
• Females hired 5
• Males hired 45
• divide total female hires by total female
  applicants
• divide total male hires by total male applicants
• Female hires _____ (5/55 ____ )
• Male hires _____ (45/215 ____ )

18
To calculate, using the 80 rule, you must first
calculate the percent of hire for each group

• Minority applicants 75
• Non-minority applicants 195
• Unknown 30
• Minorities hired 13
• Non-minorities hired 37
• divide total minority hires by total minority
  applicants
• divide total non-min. hires by total non-min.
  applicants
• Min. hires _____ (13/75 _____ )
• Non-min. hires _____ (37/195 _____ )

19
If the favored group is female or minority, no
further analysis is necessary.

• Divide the less favored group (female or
  minority) by the favored group (male or
  non-minority) for the percentage of hires. A
  violation of the 80 rule occurs if the resulting
  ratio of the less favored to favored experience
  is less than 80 (or .80).
• Overall male/female hiring impact .09/.20 ?
  
• Overall non-min/min. hiring impact .173/.189 ?

20

• Adverse Impact in hiring against
• Females Yes _____ No _____
• Minorities Yes _____ No _____

(.45)
(.92)
21

• A more rigorous statistical analysis can be
  conducted Standard Deviation (SD) Analysis. The
  maximum legally tolerable number of standard
  deviations from the mean (expected results) is 2.
  In the above example, you should calculate a
  Standard Deviation Analysis on _____________
  hires.
• If the SD is over 2, this is an indicator of a
  statistically significant concern with this group
  of hires, i.e. possible statistical disparate
  impact

22
CALCULATE IN GROUPS

• Break out into groups of 5-6
• Pick up a calculator for your group
• Assign a spokesperson for the group
• Work the Promotion and Termination IRAs

23
Dont wait until it is too late!

• "Experience is a hard teacher because she gives
  the test first, the lesson afterwards."
