Records |
Baseline |
There is no prior experience with this WIA indicator, which is
based on the use of UI wage records. PY 2000, the first full year of WIA
implementation, constitutes the baseline year for this measure. The performance
measure is derived from the agreed upon levels of performance for all states.
Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be regularly
reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes
available. |
Comment |
The current FY 19992004 Strategic Plan includes the new WIA
goal based upon a weighted average of negotiated levels of performance for all
states. The goals for PY 2000, PY 2001 and PY 2002 stated in this plan also
reflect these negotiated levels for all states. |

experience of seven States using WIA indicator specifications.
Because there is no comparable baseline, these measures will be
regularly reviewed for appropriateness and rigor as performance data becomes
available. |
Comment |
Quantified levels for performance measures under the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) were developed through cooperative negotiation between
DOL, its partners, and stakeholders. A small number of states began early
implementation of WIA in Program Year 1999. For the younger youth indicator, a
baseline level will be established in PY 2001. For the older youth indicator,
the 2000 and 2001 goals served as a proxy measure for the expected level of
performance based upon levels negotiated with a limited number of early
implementing States. The goal went from 70% to 69% for PY 1999. Note: The goal
excludes youth who go on to post secondary education or advanced training.

Performance Goal 1.2B |
Increase participation, retention, and earnings of Job Corps
graduates in employment and education. |
Results |
PY 2000: The goal was substantially met. Ninety-one percent of Job
Corps graduates entered employment or pursued further education upon completion
of the program at an average hourly wage of $7.97. The 90-day job retention
rate after initial placement was 67%.
PY 1999: The goal was achieved: 88.3% of Job Corps graduates
entered employment or enrolled in education. For those placed in jobs, the
average hourly wage was $7.49. |
Indicator |
PY 2002:
- 90% will enter employment or be enrolled in education;
- The number of students who earn diplomas will increase by 20%;
- Graduates with jobs will be employed at average hourly wages of
$8.20; and
- 70% will continue to be employed or enrolled in education six
months after their initial placement date.
PY 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.
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. |
Data Source |
Job Corps Management Information System |
Baseline |
The Program Year 2000 results serve as the baseline for the
average hourly wage at entered employment indicator. The educational attainment
indicator is based upon those students who did not have a high school diploma
or GED upon entry into Job Corps; Program Year 2001 results serve as the
baseline. There is no prior program data available for the 6-month retention
indicator. The expectation of performance is based on analysis of available
information, which pertains to 90 days retention. |
Comment |
Job Corps targets severely disadvantaged youth with a variety of
barriers to self-sufficiency, including deficiencies in education and job
skills. To achieve the enhanced quality of placement and job retention required
by the WIA, in FY 2002 Job Corps will focus resources on program improvements
that enhance the full Job Corps experience for students, from reinforced
outreach and admission strategies and center program effectiveness to
intensified center and post-center career development support. |

Comment |
Consistent with the Secretarys goal to ensure that American
workers receive a fair days wages for a fair days work, ESA has
developed two distinct but related goals to help ensure that workers are paid
and employed in compliance with the minimum wage, overtime, and child labor
requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the wage and working
conditions requirements of the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker
Protection Act. The goals are (1) to reduce employer recidivism, and (2) to
increase compliance in industries with chronic violations. Both goals recognize
that the key to ensuring workers rights is to focus efforts on the
industries and employers with the most persistent and serious violations. A
brief discussion of each of the two goals follows.
- This new performance goal, which encompasses a previous
industry-specific goal relating to compliance of prior violators, allows the
agency to develop strategies and measure compliance among prior violators in a
broader and more complete way. Unlike the earlier goal, the agency will be
measuring recidivism rates across all industries, not just the identified
low-wage industries, and in both complaint and directed cases. This goal also
accounts for the agencys core work (70% of the agencys enforcement
resources are used to respond to complaints of noncompliance). ESA is
determining baselines in FY 2002. FY 2005 targets will be established after the
baselines are known.
- This new performance goal revises a previous agency goal
relating to identified low-wage industries, and incorporates indicators of the
number of employees paid or employed in compliance as well as the number
of employers in compliance. The previous binary employer-based compliance
measure did not distinguish, for example, between an employer who had one
employee or 100 employees employed in violation or between violations that
occur in a single period versus those that were ongoing or pervasive. For each
of the low-wage industries, the agency has developed, based on its experience
over the last several years, shorter-term objectives (intermediate outcome
indicators) or problems to work on that over time will improve compliance for
the entire industry. It is anticipated that each year the shorter-term
objectives will change so as to allow the agency to work on several different
problems in the intervening years before the next industry-wide measurement is
made. ESA's long range goal is that by FY 2005, 70 percent of workers in
garment manufacturing will be paid in compliance with the minimum wage and
overtime requirements, and by FY 2005, 90 percent of workers in the long-term
health care industry will be paid in compliance with the minimum wage, overtime
and child labor requirements. In agricultural commodities, ESA's long range
goal is that by FY 2005, 85 percent of covered workers in agriculture will be
employed and paid in compliance with the wage provisions of the applicable
statutes and the child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and 75
percent of agricultural employers will be in compliance with the wage and
non-wage provisions of the applicable statutes.
These long-range goals address difficult
and long-standing problems, and will not be resolved quickly or easily. ESA has
established goals for FY 2002 that represent key steps to improving compliance.
ESAs FY 2002 goals were developed based on empirical evidence and
experience in these industries, but ESA recognizes that there are economic and
other forces beyond its control that may impact its ability to meet its
long-range goals. ESA will track progress with an eye towards these extrinsic
factors and will make adjustments to its long and short-range targets and
strategies as appropriate.

Performance Goal 2.1B |
FY 2002: Union financial integrity and democracy and the
transparency of union operations are safeguarded, as indicated by:
- Improvement in the timely filing of union annual financial
reports that contain information sufficient for public disclosure. In FY 2002,
initiate a new electronic forms application and electronic submission process
and establish a baseline for timely filing under the new process.
- Extending Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act
(LMRDA) protections for union financial integrity to a greater number of labor
organizations through the more effective use of investigative resources. In FY
2002, establish a baseline of the percentage of investigative resources applied
to criminal investigations that result in convictions.
FY 2001: Achieve timely union reporting such that a minimum of 88%
of unions with annual receipts greater than $200,000 timely file union annual
financial reports for public disclosure access.
FY 2000: Minimum of 87% of unions with annual receipts greater
than $200,000 timely file union annual financial reports for public
disclosure.
FY 1999: 85% of unions with receipts greater than $200,000, timely
file union annual financial reports for public disclosure. |

FY 1999-FY 2001: N/A |
Comment |
- Union financial reports must meet certain standards of
acceptability before they may be filed for public disclosure access. The new
electronic forms and electronic submission system to be implemented in FY 2002
will improve the timeliness, sufficiency, and accuracy of filed reports that
enable union members and the public to better monitor union financial activity.
The new process, in combination with a continuing program of compliance
assistance and liaison, is expected to raise the percent of timely and accurate
filings to over 90% by FY 2005.
- This indicator is a measure of the effectiveness of DOL's use
of investigative resources. By allocating criminal investigative time to cases
with the most prosecutive potential and, where appropriate, redirecting
criminal investigative resources to union compliance audits, DOL seeks to
maximize its impact in extending LMRDA financial safeguards for union financial
integrity to the regulated community.\

Results |
- The goal was not met. Complete 4th quarter results were not
available, since the deadline for submission of continuation-of-pay period data
from the Federal agencies was October 31. Results from three quarters of
available data showed that thus far in FY 2001 the goal was not being met. The
FY 2000 baseline is 68.1 days, and the FY 2001 target was 66.7. The overall
government-wide average LPD for the first three quarters was 75.2.
This new goal consists of time lost during
the initial 45-day, or continuation-of-pay period, while the claim remains in
the jurisdiction of the Federal agency employer, and LPD in FECA cases within
the first year of the beginning of wage-loss benefits.
- The goal was met. A performance baseline of 242 days was
established and performance data tracking is underway.
- The goal was met. A performance baseline of 66.5% of claims
filed was established. Staff training was completed and the new findings
package has been in use since the August 9th Court ruling upholding
the new regulations and lifting the stay on adjudication.
- - 5. NA.
- This goal was exceeded. PRM produced an additional
$31 million in first-year savings in FY 2001, bringing cumulative total
first-year savings to $103 million.
- The goal was not met. Average cost per case for Psychiatric
services were reduced by nearly 3% over FY 2000; for Physical Therapy services,
however, average cost increased by 4.5% (adjusted for inflation).
FY 2000:
- This goal was exceeded. Average lost production days (LPD)
measured for Quality Case Management cases in FY 2000 was 164 days. The
reduction equated to a $17.7 million savings in compensation costs.
- This goal was substantially met. System programming was
completed and data collected started. The target for establishing a baseline
was extended to May, 2001.

- This goal was exceeded. The FECA program saved $34.5 million
(61% over target) using fee schedules for Inpatient and Pharmacy services.
FY 1999:
- This goal was exceeded. Average lost production days for cases
measured in FY 1999 was 173 days against a target of 178 days. This was nearly
a 9% reduction compared to the FY 1997 baseline.
- By September 30, a definition of "case resolution" was

Comment |
- LPD is one of several goals within the joint, OSHA/ESA Federal
Employees Health and Safety Initiative to increase Federal workplace safety
rates and speed recovery and return to work In light of widespread public
health incidents subsequent to the anthrax events involving postal workers, and
other unique USPS workforce factors, this goal has been bifurcated to measure
LPD for USPS cases for all other Federal agencies separately. These and other
impacts on the Postal Service in FY 2001 resulted in substantially higher LPD.
These post-September 11 conditions are likely to continue. Accordingly, we
believe FY 2001 will be a more appropriate baseline against which to measure
future performance. (FY 2001 actual results will serve as new baselines:
preliminary results are 119 days for USPS and 54.1 days for All Other Agencies.
Determination of final results is awaiting publication by the Office of
Personnel Management of 4th Quarter FY 2001 Federal employment
data.)
- Reducing the average time required to resolve disputed issues
reflects increased cooperation among the parties and increased voluntary
compliance with Longshore statutes and procedures.
- This performance target will capture the results of program
efforts to minimize adversity and maximize cooperation among the parties to
cases with disputed issues.
- OWCP transfers non-Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) cancer claims
to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health NIOSH to document
radiation exposure histories and dosage levels. Upon completion of the dose
reconstruction, OWCP continues adjudication of the claim.
Completion of initial
processing indicates a point common to all claim categories at which the
Energy program has made a determination of covered employment and covered
illness. For claims other than non-SEC cancers, this determination results in a
decision to award or deny claims. Beyond completion of initial processing,
additional decision points reside with the claimant or NIOSH prerequisite to
issuance of a formal Recommended Decision.
- These performance indicators remain provisional while the
recently implemented Energy program completes a process of understanding the
volume and nature of potential workloads, assessing work flow and resource
requirements, testing work processes, and determining optimal output
performance standards. Timeframes include decision points/actions by the
claimant (e.g., no contest denials cannot be completed until the
claimants 60-day response period has passed).
- 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 million 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.
The FECA program uses Fee Schedules to set payment levels for
standard categories of billed medical services. A special automated bill
review, the 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
services provided and matched to medical condition. These mechanisms, along
with procedural changes and other quality controls, will result in overall
reduction of program medical costs. ESA will pursue its goal to reduce the
average cost of Total Medical Services by .5% in FY 2002, but has postponed its
goal to reduce average costs for Physical Therapy, although review of those
services will continue. Analysis of FY 2001 results how that until additional
resources are available for Utilization Review, ESA will not be able to make
significant progress to reduce average Physical Therapy service costs.

This measure addresses PBGCs 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 over 500,000 in FY 2002, while
trusteed plans will have increased to about 3,000.
Ultimately, faster case processing leads to increased accuracy of
benefit payments. |

Outcome Goal 3.2 Foster Equal Opportunity WorkplacesPerformance
Goals
Performance Goal 3.2A |
FY 2002: Federal contractors achieve equal opportunity
workplaces as demonstrated by:
- Improving the equal employment opportunity performance of
federal contractors and subcontractors within industries where data indicate
the likelihood of equal employment opportunity problems is greatest. In FY 2002
contractors in SIC Group 50 and SIC Group 87 that participate in specified
DOL/OFCCP compliance assistance activities and are subsequently evaluated will
have:
- Better EEO performance in selection system evaluations as
indicated by less severe CMS closure types than contractors in SIC Groups 50
and 87 that did not participate in specified DOL/OFCCP compliance assistance
activities. In FY 2002 DOL/OFCCP will improve by 1 percent the rate of
compliance findings over the baseline for SIC 50 and SIC 87.
- Better EEO performance in selection system evaluations as
indicated by less severe violations or deficiencies than contractors in SIC
Groups 50 and 87 that did not participate in specified DOL/OFCCP compliance
assistance activities. In FY 2002 DOL/OFCCP will reduce by 1 percent the rate
of findings of severe violations from the baseline for SIC 50 and SIC 87.
- Better EEO performance in selection system evaluations as
indicated by evaluation type than contractors in SIC Groups 50 and 87 that did
not participate in specified DOL/OFCCP compliance assistance activities. In FY
2002 DOL/OFCCP will increase by 1 percent the rate of focused and offsite
compliance evaluation types over the baseline for SIC 50 and SIC 87.
- Improving the equal employment opportunity performance of
federal contractors and subcontractors that have had prior contact with
DOL/OFCCP through evaluations, outreach, or technical assistance. In FY 2002:
Contractors and subcontractors that are selected for evaluation, outreach, or
compliance assistance activities will have:
- Better EEO performance in selection system evaluations as
indicated by less severe CMS closure types than contractors that did not have
prior contact with DOL/OFCCP. In FY 2002 DOL/OFCCP will improve by 1 percent
the rate of compliance findings over the baseline for all supply and service
closures.
- Better EEO performance in selection system evaluations as
indicated by less severe violations or deficiencies than contractors that did
not have prior contact with DOL/OFCCP. In FY 2002 DOL/OFCCP will reduce by 1
percent the rate of findings of severe violations from the baseline.
- Better EEO performance in selection system evaluations as
indicated by evaluation type than contractors that did not have prior contact
with DOL/OFCCP. In FY 2002 DOL/OFCCP will increase by 1 percent the rate of
focused and offsite compliance evaluation types over the baseline.
FY 2001:Identify those industries where data indicate the
likelihood of equal employment opportunity problems is greatest and establish
baselines; establish baselines for contractors and subcontractors that have had
prior contact with DOL/OFCCP through evaluations, outreach or technical
assistance; and establish baselines for reducing compensation discrimination by
federal contractors and subcontractors.

Results |
FY 2001: The goal was not achieved. For the first indicator, two
industries were identified where the data indicate the likelihood of equal
employment opportunity problems is greatest, and baselines indicating the
extent of problems previously found were established. With regard to the second
indicator, the Department established a baseline for Federal contractors and
subcontractors that had failed previous compliance evaluations, but not for
those contacted only through outreach or technical assistance. The Department
did not develop a separate baseline for compensation discrimination, but
included this issue in the baselines created for the preceding two
indicators.

Comment |
Through compliance assistance and other contacts, such as
compliance evaluations, DOL plans to educate members of the two targeted
industries on compliance techniques, reducing the proportion and severity of
noncompliance determinations and raising performance to the average universe
rate within a 3 to 4 year evaluation period. The compliance assistance effort
will provide information and assistance to the contractor community on meeting
equal employment opportunity requirements outside the formal evaluation
process. The compliance assistance tools used to accomplish this objective
include: Contractor Informational Packets distributed at the initiation of each
compliance evaluation; contractor seminars held in each of the Regions;
compliance assistance information posted on the DOL/OFCCP web site:
http://www.dol.gov/esa/ofcp_org.htm; and
assistance available to any contractor upon request, either within or outside
the evaluation process. In late FY 2001, DOL initiated an evaluation project to
study the relative effectiveness of various types of compliance assistance. The
information gathered from this project should help guide future compliance
assistance efforts. Should DOL's compliance assistance activities prove as
effective as anticipated, DOL plans to expand this performance goal by
selecting additional industries from its contractor universe in FY 2002 for
measurement in FY 2003, following the same approach used to identify industries
in FY 2001. |
Performance Goal 3.2B |
FY 2002: FY 2002: States that receive DOL financial assistance
under the Workforce Investment Act provide benefits and services in a
nondiscriminatory manner as evidenced by:
- The issuance, within 180 days of the initial submission of a
States Methods of Administration (MOA), of a compliance determination or
a conciliation agreement which indicates that the MOA gives reasonable
guarantee that benefits and services are provided in a nondiscriminatory
manner.
- A strengthening of working relationships with state agencies,
through their participation in a strategy of improving compliance assistance
for One Stop Centers, and assessing the effectiveness of that strategy.
FY 2001: DOL grant recipients and programs financially assisted
under the Workforce Investment Act achieve equal opportunity workplaces as
demonstrated by:
- timely submission as required by 29 CFR 37 of 30 Methods of
Administration (MOA) or in the absence of timely submissions, the issuance of a
Show Cause Notice within 15 days of a non-timely submission.
- issuance of compliance determinations or conciliation
agreements within 180 days for those States submitting timely MOAs.
FY 2000: Deferred until FY 2001
FY 1999: Issue final regulations implementing the
nondiscrimination provisions of Section 188 of WIA by August 7, 1999. |

|
Comment |
MOAs detail how each State will implement the nondiscrimination
and equal opportunity provisions of WIA. MOAs are due 180 days after ETA gives
final approval to a Statess five-year WIA Strategic Plan. Noncompliance
with MOA requirements can result in the withdrawal of grant funds. The second
element entails the development of an instrument for assessing accessibility to
persons with disabilities. During FY2003, this instrument will be used to
assess the baseline level of accessibility at targeted One Stop Centers, and
then to assess the effectiveness of efforts to improved accessibility through
targeted compliance assistance. There will be a close working relationship with
the state agencies in developing the assessment tool, and in developing
approaches to improve accessibility at One Stop Centers. |

indicators, two were exceeded, a third was substantially achieved and a fourth
not met:
- 25 countries will ratify International Labor Organization (ILO)
Convention 182 on Worst Forms of Child Labor.
Result: As of the end of
September 2001, a total of 100 countries (63 in FY 2001) ratified Convention
182.This convention was unanimously adopted by the delegates to the
International Labor Conference in June 1999.
- 15 countries will establish new national plans to eliminate
child labor. Result: 13 countries established a total of 15 new national action

work.
- 50,000 children will be prevented from starting, and/or
removed from exploitative work.
Result: In FY 2001, more than 25,800
children were actually prevented or removed from exploitative work through
on-going DOL-IPEC projects.
FY 2000: The goal was achieved as reflected in the following
results:
- In FY 2000, 36 countries ratified ILO Convention 182 on the
Worst Forms of Child Labor.
- DOL funded two IPEC National Action Plans in FY2000one in
South Africa and the other in Yemen.
- ILAB published its sixth report on international child labor,
By the Sweat & Toil of Children: An Economic Consideration of Child
Labor; ILABs International Child Labor Programs website
provides information on child labor issues. ICLP receives numerous questions
and requests for information from the public via email. ILAB funded a Global
Campaign/Best Practices Conference to help raise awareness about child labor.
This conference provided speakers from Africa, Asia, and Latin America with an
opportunity to share their experiences in working to address child labor
issues.
- In FY2000, ILAB targeted over 100,000 children for prevention
and/or removal from exploitative work.
FY 1999: N/A |
Indicator |
- 15 countries will ratify International Labor Organization (ILO)
Convention 182 on Worst Forms of Child Labor.
- 10 countries will establish action plans to combat child labor
and/or promote access to basic education for child laborers or children at
risk.
- 90,000 children in developing countries will be targeted for
prevention or removal from exploitative work, particularly its worst forms (as
defined in ILO Convention 182) through the funding of new DOL-IPEC programs.
- 50,000 children in developing countries will be prevented or
removed from exploitative work through the provision of education or training
opportunities in ongoing DOL-IPEC programs.
- Education projects for child laborers through the Education
Initiative will begin in 8 countries.

Data Source |
ILO/IPEC and DOL/ILAB |
Baseline |
As of the end of FY 2000, 37 countries had ratified ILO Convention
182.
Baseline information collected through the ILO/IPEC projects is
used to establish target populations and measure progress of direct action
programs. From FY 1995 through FY 2000, almost 250,000 children had been
targeted for prevention and removal from exploitative work through
DOL-funded ILO/IPEC projects. During the same period, approximately 40,500
children were actually prevented or removed for exploitative work.
The ILOs 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. Eleven national surveys have been
completed; 20 are ongoing; and an additional 17 are scheduled to be undertaken.
Repeat surveys in countries where initial surveys were done will allow ILAB to
measure progress made. |
Comment |
Throughout the 1990s, international recognition of the child labor
problem and action to address it have been increasing. While there is still a
high incidence of child labor in many developing countries, various
governmental and non-governmental organizations are taking steps to remove
children from exploitative work. This increased commitment to the eradication
of child labor is evident by the unanimous adoption of the ILO Convention 182
on the Worst Forms of Child Labor in Geneva in June 1999.
ILAB will be working in early FY2002 to assess and streamline
DOL-ILO/IPEC child labor program information, reporting, monitoring and
evaluation systems to ensure their effectiveness and efficiency. ILAB is also
working more closely with ILO/IPEC to determine realistic target populations
and better project anticipated outcomes during the fiscal year. Because of the
extensive preparatory work necessary to provide child laborers and children at
risk with meaningful alternatives to work, projects funded in FY 2001 may not
demonstrate significant impact until FY 2003. |

Initial baseline for lost production days was officially set by
OWCP at 56 days per 100 employees in FY 2001 (based on FY 2000 data). |
Comment |
Factors that will influence achieving the above goal: ability of
the Safety and Health Center to fill currently vacant staff positions; progress
in achieving the FY 2001 goals; and successful implementation of the new system
for filing and tracking of injury/illness reports. |
Performance Goal HR3 |
FY 2002: Reduce the overall occurrence of injuries and
illnesses for DOL employees by 3 percent, and improve the timeliness of filing
injury/illness claims by 5 percent.
FY 2000-2001: Same as FY 2002
FY 1999: N/A |
Results |
FY 2001: This two-part goal was not achieved. The
injury/illness rate for DOL employees increased to 4.01 cases per 100 employees
(preliminary data) while the timeliness of filing injury claim forms decreased
by 2.1%.
FY 2000: Results for this goal changed. The Annual Report
indicated that this goal (3.6 cases per 100 employees) had not been achieved.
More current and accurate data indicates that this goal was achieved and the FY
2000 injury and illness rate was 3.50 cases per 100 employees, a reduction of
5.7%. The Department also significantly improved the timeliness of filing
injury claims, improving to 57.3% from the previous baseline of 47.4%.

1998 data. Initial baseline injury and illness rate is 3.71 cases per 100
employees based on 1997 data.
|
Comment |
Preliminary data indicated that DOLs injury and illness rate
had increased in FY 2000. As a result, DOL reported that this goal had not been
achieved and accelerated its reduction to 5% in FY 2001 to assist in achieving
the Initiatives overall 5-year goal. More current and accurate data
indicates that this goal was achieved (3.50 cases per 100 employees). As a
result, DOLs FY 2001 goal has reverted to the Initiatives original
3% reduction (3.49 cases per 100 employees). DOL exceeded the timeliness of
filing goal in FY 2000 (57.3%) and has implemented a stretch goal of 65% in FY
2001. Factors that will influence achieving the above goals: ability of the
Safety and Health Center to fill currently vacant staff positions; progress in
achieving the FY 2001 goals; and successful implementation of the new system
for filing and tracking of injury/illness reports. |
