Comment |
The WtW FY 1999 performance goal read "56% of Welfare-to-Work (WtW)
program terminees will be placed in unsubsidized employment." The FY 2000 goal
was revised to eliminate measuring placement of those terminated, as the
concept of termination was not compatible with the WtW focus on providing
services to individuals who are working to keep them in the job and help them
advance in earnings. As a result, the goal is formulated to measure retention
in the workforce and increased earnings at two quarters after placement. |

for a given year.
1.1B |
Performance Goal |
PY2001: In Program Year 2001, of those registered under the WIA
adult program, 78% will be employed in the third quarter after program exit,
with increased average earnings of $3,361.
PY 2000: Of those registered under the WIA adult program, 76.5%
will be employed in the third quarter after program exit, with increased
average earnings of $3,264

PY 1999 Performance Results |
N/A |
Indicator |
Employment retention after six months; average earnings change
after six months |
Data Source |
State WIA reports, (UI wage records will be primary source) |
Baseline |
There is no prior experience with this WIA indicator which is based
on the use of UI wage records. An approximation of the goal was derived by
analysis of the JTPA program experience of eight states using WIA indicator
specifications which yielded a range of from 72% to 84% for employment and from
$2602 to $5488 for earnings gain. |
Comment |
The goal for this indicator is preliminary and based upon the
limited experiences of 8 States. The goal may be revised based upon the
Department reaching agreement with all States on WIA adjusted levels of
performance for Program Year 2000. Employment retention includes exiters
employed upon registration and in the first quarter after exit. Earnings gain
is based upon a comparison of earnings in the second and third quarters after
exit with earnings in the second and third quarters prior to registration.

1.1C |
Performance Goal |
PY 2001: In Program Year 2001,76% of job seekers registered by the

Comment: |
This goal is related to the implementation of WIA in PY 2000 and
the new WIA performance accountability system since local ES offices are
mandatory partners in One-Stop Career Centers established by WIA. The goal may
be revised based upon implementation of WIA in PY 2000. An instrument to obtain
the data for this measure must be developed. |

Outcome Goal 1.2 - Increase the Number of Youth
Making A Successful Transition to Work -- Performance Goals
1.2A |
Performance Goal |
PY 2001: In Program Year 2001, of the 14-18 year-old youth
registered under the WIA youth program, 50% will be either employed, in
advanced training, post-secondary education, military service or
apprenticeships in the third quarter after program exit.
PY 2000: Of the 14-18 year-old youth registered under the WIA
youth program, 48% will be either employed, in advanced training,
post-secondary education, military service or apprenticeships in the third
quarter after program exit.

exit from program. |
Data Source |
State WIA reports; UI wage records |
Baseline |
There is no prior experience with this indicator and no basis for
approximating a baseline from current JTPA reports. |
Comment |
Quantified levels for performance measures under the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) will be developed through cooperative negotiation between
DOL, its partners, and stakeholders. A small number of States have begun early
implementation of WIA for PY 1999, however, data has not previously been
collected on this measure which would assist in the development of a baseline.
The Department believes this measure will serve as a valid measurement of
program performance. The results achieved by the early implementing States will
form the basis for the establishment of a baseline for this measure. As data
becomes available from the remaining States, a revised baseline level will be
established or revised as necessary. |
1.2B |
Performance Goal: |
PY 2001: In Program Year 2001, of the 19-21 year-old youth
registered under the WIA youth program, 75% will be employed in the third
quarter after program exit.
PY 2000: Of the 19-21 year-old youth served under the WIA youth
program, 73.6% will be employed in the third quarter after program exit.

on the use of UI wage records. An approximation of the goal was derived by
analysis of the JTPA program experience of eight states using WIA indicator
specifications which yielded a range of from 69% to 81% for employment. |
Comment |
Quantified levels for performance measures under WIA will be
developed through cooperative negotiation between DOL, its partners, and
stakeholders. A small number of States have begun early implementation of WIA
for PY 1999, and this limited performance will form the basis of baseline data
and negotiation of goals for PY 2000 - the period which all States will begin
to operate under WIA. The above goal serves as a proxy measure for the expected
level of performance based upon levels negotiated with a limited number of
early implementing States. The proxy measure will be revised and a baseline
level established as performance data is available from the remaining States.
Note: the goal excludes youth who go on to post secondary education or advanced
training. |
1.2C |
Performance Goal |
PY 2001: In Program Year 2001, 85% of Job Corps graduates will
get jobs with entry average hourly wages of $7.25 or be enrolled in education
70% will continue to be employed or enrolled in education six months after
their initial placement date. (Placement and Retention).
PY 2000: Increase the percent of Job Corps graduates who get jobs
or pursue education to 85%; those who get jobs will have an average entry wage
increase from the previous year and 70% will still have a job or will be
pursuing education after 90 days. PY 1999: 75% of Job Corps trainees will
get jobs or pursue further education, with those obtaining jobs having an
average starting wage of $6.50 per hour. |
PY 1999 Performance Results |
The goal was exceeded: 82.4% of Job Corps trainees were placed in
jobs, the military, or pursued further education. For those placed in jobs, the
average wage was $6.87 per hour. |

Comment |
Job Corps targets severely disadvantaged youth with a variety of
barriers to self-sufficiency, including deficiencies in education and job
skills. To provide enhanced quality placement services required by the WIA, in
FY 2001 Job Corps will focus resources on program improvements informed by
employer feedback to increase job retention for graduates. |

Outcome Goal 2.1 - Increase Compliance with Worker Protection Laws -
Performance Goals
2.1A |
Performance Goal |
FY 2001: Increase compliance with labor standards laws and
regulations including young workers in nationally targeted industries. In FY
2001, increase compliance in the garment industry to 85% in the San Francisco
and 42% in New York City; in agricultural commodities - to 47% in onion, 80% in
tomato, and 70% in the health care industry - to 62% in residential health care
industry (assisted living facilities).
FY 2000: Garment: 45% in Los Angeles (6% increase over
FY1998 performance)
Agricultural Commodities: establish baseline for
garlic Poultry Processing: 5% increase Forestry:
establish baseline Health Care: 5% increase in nursing homes
FY 1999: Increase compliance with labor standards laws and
regulations by 5% in the San Francisco and New York City garment industries; in
the agricultural industry - establish baselines for the commodities of onions,
lettuce and cucumbers; and establish baseline for residential health care
(assisted living facilities) |
|
FY 1999 Performance Results |
The garment goal was not met. The compliance rate in San Francisco
was 74% (target 79%). The compliance rate in New York City was 35%. (target was
37%). Compliance baselines were established. |

San Francisco garment industry (FY 1997). 37% compliance in the New York
City garment industry (FY 1997). 22% compliance in the Los Angeles garment
industry (FY 1994). 75% compliance in tomato commodities (FY 1996). 70%
compliance in the nursing home industry (FY 1997). 57% compliance in
residential health care (assisted living facilities) (1999). 40% compliance
in the poultry processing industry ( FY 1998). 49% compliance in cucumber
commodities (1999) 42% compliance in onion commodities (1999) 65%
compliance in lettuce commodities (1999) 38% compliance in garlic
commodity (2000) 30% compliance in forestry (2000) |
|
Comment |
Because there is no unbiased industry-wide database on labor
standards violations or compliance, the Wage and Hour Division faces a
challenge in determining industry-wide levels of compliance, measuring changes
in compliance and attributing causality for any changes. To determine the
impact of Wage and Hour efforts, a statistically sound method for establishing
baselines and measuring compliance was developed using investigation-based
compliance surveys of targeted industries and areas. Based on results, specific
industries and/or industry sectors will be re-surveyed every 2 to 3 years. |

Comment |
This goal is to increase the level of compliance as a result of a
Wage and Hour enforcement intervention. Data on entities covered in an
investigation-based compliance survey that have previously been investigated by
Wage and Hour, will be analyzed to compare those entities' compliance to the
rest of the survey universe and to the entities' prior compliance history. Data
on the outcomes or repeat investigations will also be used to evaluate the
relative effectiveness, or return on investment, of the various types of
interventions. Based on results, specific industries and/or industry sectors
will be re-surveyed every 2 to 3 years. |

Comment: |
The current UI validation program validates non-monetary quality
measures and the numbers of first payments but not payment time lapse. All
facets of key performance measures are scheduled to be validated through the UI
Data Validation program starting in 2000. The Department will work through
technical assistance and other means within the UI PERFORMS system to raise the
number of States attaining all minimum performance criteria. These efforts,
plus encouraging continuous improvement at all levels, will also raise national
averages. |

Comment |
The expansion of coverage within the private
employer-sponsored pension system is one of the primary results goals toward
which PWBA's programs and policy initiatives are directed. Providing access to
populations that have historically shown a lower coverage rate is a high
priority within this large goal. Coverage rates for specific populations can be
tracked through specific sets of questions periodically included in surveys
conducted by the Census Bureau. The Bureau provides statistically reliable data
on pension coverage rates. |

the average number of production days lost due to disability.
FY 2000: Reduce to 173 days (QCM cases only). Establish baseline
for all cases.
FY 1999: Return Federal employees to work following an injury as
early as appropriate, as indicated by a 6% reduction from the baseline in
production days lost due to disability for cases in the Quality Case Management
(QCM) program. Reduce number of lost production days to 178 days (QCM cases

|
Comment |
2000 DOL established a new baseline covering all federal employee
injuries. Data for this much larger cohort requires that federal agencies
capture and report "Continuation of Pay" data. The recently signed Presidential
Initiative "Federal Worker 2000" sets a goal for agencies to reduce disability
days, and will give impetus to data collection. In FY Because the inclusion
of thousands of temporary Census 2000 workers employed b the Department of
Commerce would disproportionately skew the national result, the Commerce
Department is excluded from the baseline calculation. |
2.2E |
Performance Goal |
FY 2001: Produce $95 million in cumulative first-year savings
(FY 1999-2001) in the FECA Program through Periodic Roll Management.
FY 2000: Produce $66 million in first year savings through
Periodic Roll Management
FY 1999: Produce $19 million in first year savings through
Periodic Roll Management |
|
FY 1999 Performance Results |
This goal has been exceeded. PRM case review actions produced an
additional $20.8 million in FECA compensation benefit savings. |
|
Indicator |
The fiscal year amount of total periodic payment (compensation
benefit) reductions in PRM universe cases. |
|
Data Source |
Periodic Roll Management System; Automated Compensation Payment
System |
|
Baseline |
For all cases with benefit actions in the measurement year, the
periodic payment amount paid at time of their entry into the PRM universe,
compared to the periodic payment amount after benefit reduction.
The methodology for measuring savings from compensation benefit
adjustments and terminations was revised to coincide with PRM's integration
into permanent operations.
PRM savings for performance reporting were previously derived by
comparing total FECA program benefit reductions in all cases, including PRM
cases, in the measurement year, to total reductions produced in the baseline
year but not counting PRM case reductions. |
|
Comment |
Periodic Roll Management has proven highly successful in
identifying potential for return to work and resolving cases leading to greater
savings in benefit compensation (an additional $317 between 1992 and 1998). In
FY 1999, Congress appropriated resources to fully staff all offices and
integrate PRM into FECA program operations. This is accelerating savings in
Federal workers' compensation costs, and increasing the potential for returning
workers to employment after recovery from an injury.
Note: Decisions on cases under PRM review often result in
adjustment or termination of benefits. On a case-by-case basis, and beginning
with the first payment cycle after the benefit action, savings are scored for
the remainder of the measurement (fiscal) year, producing the "first-year"
savings for the case. First-year savings for all cases in the measurement year
are then combined producing the total first-year savings. The cumulative sum of
first-year savings is matched against the goal as stated for each measurement
year. |
2.2F |
Performance Goal |
FY 2001:In the FECA program, reduce the average annual cost for
physical therapy and psychiatric services by 1%through focus reviews of
services charged. (Note: This intermediate goal will assist the agency in
developing strategies to reach the overall cost reduction goal. Reduction of
overall average medical costs will be measured against a FY 2000 baseline.)
FY 2000: In the FECA program, save an additional $5 million over
FY 1999 compared to amounts charged through full-year implementation of fee
schedules for inpatient hospital and pharmacy services; save $1.5 million
compared to amounts charged for physician services through the Correct Coding
Initiative.
FY 1999: Save 19% annually versus amounts billed for FECA medical
services. |
|
FY 1999 Performance Results |
This goals was exceeded. |

Overall Average Medical Cost Baseline: Average annual cost per
case in FY 2000 for each medical condition selected for review. |
|
Comment |
The FECA program uses Fee Schedules to set payment levels for
standard categories of billed medical services. Special automated bill review
(Corrective Coding Initiative (CCI)) identifies medical providers' duplicate
and abusive billing practices, and facilitates evaluation and resolution of
questionable bills before payment is authorized . Focus Reviews identify proper
treatment or payments for selected medical conditions. These mechanisms, along
with procedural changes and other quality controls, will result in overall
reduction of program medical costs. |
2.2G |
Performance Goal |
FY 2001: Each area of the country will be surveyed for all four
types of construction at least every three years, and the resulting Davis-
Bacon wage determinations validly represent locally prevailing wages/benefits.
In FY2001, complete development of all aspects of a reengineered system.
FY 2000: Each area of the country will be surveyed for all four
types of construction at least every three years, and the resulting wage
determinations validly represent locally prevailing wages/benefits. In FY 2000,
implement scanning technology and develop knowledge management technology; and
complete analysis of BLS data and decide whether a reengineering or reinvention
approach will be pursued in FY 2001.
FY 1999: Each area of the country will be surveyed for all four
types of construction at least every three years, and the resulting wage
determinations validly represent locally prevailing wages/benefits. In FY 1999,
implement new data collection form and automated printing and mailing process
and test whether automation can increase the accuracy and timeliness of the
survey process and wage determinations. |

This measure addresses PBGC's largest operating functions which are
processing terminated plans and paying benefits. Termination activities involve
an intricate series of complex actions, from reviewing plan assets and
participant data, to completing financial and control group analysis. Sponsor
bankruptcies and legal disputes over plan assets also complicate and stretch
out the trusteeship process. Total participant count in PBGC-trusteed plans
will have increased to 500,000 in FY 2001 while trusteed plans will have
increased to 2,900. To keep up with these increases, PBGC must find ways to
streamline processing and measure the results. PBGC will lower the time frame
to 3-4 years in FY 2001. |
Outcome Goal 2.3 - Provide Worker Retraining -- Performance
Goals
2.3A |
Performance Goal |
PY 2001 In Program Year 2001, of those registered under the WIA
dislocated worker program, 73% will be employed in the first quarter after
program exit, and 83% will be employed in the third quarter after program exit
with 91% of pre-dislocation earnings.
PY 2000: Of those registered under the WIA dislocated worker
program, 71.4% will be employed in the first quarter after program exit and
81.6% will be employed in the third quarter after program exit with 89.7% of
pre-dislocation earnings.
PY 1999: Under JTPA Title III for dislocated workers, 74% of
program terminees will be employed at an average wage replacement rate
(compared to their wage at dislocation) of 93% at termination; 76% will be
employed one quarter after program exit at an average wage replacement rate of
97%. |
PY 1998 Performance Results |
The goal was met. Based on PY 1998 data, 73% of program terminees
were employed at an average wage replacement rate of 99% at termination, and
76% were employed one quarter after program exit at an average wage replacement
rate of 102%. |

There is no prior experience with this WIA indicator which is based
on the use of UI wage records. An approximation of the goal was derived by
analysis of the JTPA program experience of three states using WIA indicator
specifications which yielded a range of from 72% to 80% for employment in the
first quarter after program exit, from 82% to 91% for employment in the third
quarter after program exit, and a range of from 85% to 97% pre-dislocation
earnings in the third quarter after program exit. |
Comment |
Quantifiable levels for performance measures under WIA will be
developed through a cooperative negotiation between DOL, its partners, and
stakeholders. A small number of states have begun early implementation of WIA
for PY 99, and this limited performance will form the basis of baseline data
and negotiation of goals for PY 2000 -2001, the period in which all states will
operate under WIA |

ILO-IPEC and DOL/ILAB |
|
Baseline |
In 1998, ILAB published its fifth child labor report in the By
the Sweat & Toil of Children series. This report focuses on efforts to
reduce child labor in 16 countries.
The ILO's Statistical Information and Monitoring Program (SIMPOC)
is currently assisting countries in generating statistical data on child labor
at the national level that would more accurately assess the extent and nature
of the global child labor problem. More than 40 SIMPOC surveys are scheduled to
be conducted through 2000 and 2001. In the meantime, baseline information
collected through the IPEC projects will be used to establish target
populations and measure future progress. |
|
Comment |
ILAB is working to establish better survey data and to document the
extent and nature of child labor through the ILO's SIMPOC program. Achievement
of this performance goal depends upon other countries agreeing to establish and
implement IPEC projects to be funded by ILAB. Projects funded in FY 2000 in
some instances may not have impact until FY 2001. |

|
Comment |
The 5 percent injury rate reduction for FY 2001 is higher than
prescribed in the Federal Worker 2000 initiative because DOL did not meet the
performance goal of a 3 percent injury reduction rate for FY 2000. DOL must
aggressively increase efforts to reduce injuries to keep pace with goals
established in the five year Presidential Initiative. |
HR4 |
Performance Goal (internal) |
FY 2001: Major DOL program components are in compliance with
applicable Civil Rights laws and regulations and achieve equal opportunity
workplaces. This is accomplished by:
