Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies
Each agency shall undertake a comprehensive review of the employment process to identify policies and practices that perpetuate or build in barriers to equal employment opportunity. For each instance of underutilization in an occupational category or position classification employing a significant number of persons or job title for which a separate availability base is calculated, as found in Section 46a-68-40, separate employment analyses shall be conducted to target the cause of the imbalance. Such studies shall be conducted on forms made available by the commission for this purpose (see Form 42A series). The agency shall then design specific corrective measures, in the form of program goals, to eradicate all policies and practices that contribute to the underutilization (see Section 46a-68-44). The following analyses shall be performed:
(1) Employment process analysis. The agency shall first determine whether the number of persons employed in an occupational category, position classification employing a significant number of persons or a job title for which a separate availability base is calculated has increased or decreased from the previous reporting period through hire, termination or other personnel activity. Each instance of expansion or reduction in personnel shall be noted on the appropriate line of Form 42A1 best characterizing the change. Such analysis shall be conducted regardless of whether there has been a net gain or loss of employees.
(2) Applicant flow analysis. Appointments to job titles within an underutilized occupational category, position classification employing a significant number of persons or job title for which a separate availability base is calculated shall be further addressed in Form 42A2. The applicant flow chart shall track applicants through the hiring or promotional process to identify the step at which they were no longer a candidate for employment. Information shall be provided as required for reductions in force.
(3) Personnel evaluation analysis. Each agency shall further provide information by occupational category on all matters not involving hires or reductions in force as appears on Form 42A3.
(4) Training analysis. All training activity shall be reported on Form 42A4.
