Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(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
				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
				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.
