Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 17:27-5.2 - Establishment of targeted goals

(a) The Division shall individually establish the targeted minority and women employment goals for the determination of good faith equal employment opportunity efforts by each vendor or subcontractor, including professional services contractors and subcontractors. The Division shall analyze the types of jobs offered by each vendor or subcontractor and compare that analysis to the number of qualified minorities and women available by county in occupational classes as reported by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Division of Planning and Research in its report, EEO Tabulation-Detailed Occupations by Race/Hispanic Groups.

(b) When a vendor, including a professional services contractor, and/or subcontractor submits an employee information report, as required by N.J.A.C. 17:27-4.3, the Division may schedule an orientation and profile visit upon the issuance of a certificate of employee information report to obtain detailed information on which of the occupation classes comprise each of the equal employment opportunity (EEO) categories, identified on the Employee Information Report, AA302 form, in the vendor's or subcontractor's workforce. The Division shall compare that information to the availability data for the county in which the vendor's or subcontractor's offices, plants or distribution centers are located to establish the targeted employment goals based upon the occupational mix within the vendor's or subcontractor's workforce. When a vendor or subcontractor has offices, plants or distribution centers located in more than one county, the Division shall establish targeted goals for each county.

(c) The Division shall establish overall goals for vendors and subcontractors based upon the average of the individually established targeted goals to determine good faith equal employment opportunity efforts by vendors and subcontractors for the EEO categories, identified on the Employee Information Report, AA302 form, in which the vendors or subcontractors have employees.

(d) A vendor and subcontractor submitting an application for renewal of a certificate of employee information report, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 17:27-4.6(c), shall include information detailing the occupational classes that comprise each EEO category, identified on the Employee Information Report, AA302 form, within their workforce to provide the Division with information to establish the targeted goals prior to the compliance review.

(e) In cases in which a public agency, contractor, subcontractor, or affected minority or woman worker submits in writing a request to the Division for a determination of what targeted goals should apply to determine the good faith equal employment opportunity efforts of vendors or subcontractors, the Division shall determine the proper targeted goals. Any such employment goal determination by the Division shall be binding on the vendor or subcontractor.
