  9. Dispositioning • Defined • Neutral • Consistent

  10. OFCCP’s ApproachDisposition Code Analysis • The purpose to analyze disposition codes is to identify legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for the adverse impact • First, determine whether codes are reliable • Use other evidence or sources, such as applications to check veracity • Look for “dump” codes • Determine whether codes based on subjective or objective criteria • Second, determine whether refinement by disposition code is appropriate

  11. Purpose of Dispositions • Always Choose Objective Code • Use “Cleaner” Code

  12. Dispositioning • Neutral • Is there adverse impact? • Credit checks, Criminal Convictions, Some drug testing • Why is that the criteria??

  13. Dispositioning • Consistent • Negotiate salary/shift • Sometimes interview latecomer • We needed to fill this yesterday!

  14. Dispositioning • The Good • The Bad • And The Ugly • Although Remember the Purpose

  15. The Good • Objective • Removes as an Applicant • Reduces Pool • Use “cleaner” choice
