Quick Steps Planner


Quick Steps Planner is the software used to complete your Annual Affirmative Action Plan. It is all programmed in an Excel Workbook and is completed for you after you send a simple excel data extract to Quick Steps.
  • Work Force Data Extract Report
    • A contractor would provide the following data extract from their human resource information system in an excel spreadsheet in the format shown below. The data from this extract is placed into the Quick Steps Planner to complete all reports in the AAP.

  • EEO Work Force Analysis Report
    • The data from the above summary report is entered into this report. The program calculates, by each EEO job group, the total number of female, male, minority subgroup, and nonminority incumbents for each job group and automatically places that data into the Factored Analysis Report.

  • Factored Analysis Report
    • This report provides key factors of Affirmative Action Plan requirements:
      • The number and percent of Minority/ethnicity subgroups and Female incumbents you have in each EEO Job Group in your facility.
      • The adjusted availability for determining placement rates which is determined by the following two factors:
        • Requisite skill availability for external hiring that you reasonably expect to recruit to fill vacancies. The data for minority and females is obtained from the Census website from the most current census report. Quick Steps can assist with establishing this data.
        • Promotable and transferable that would fill vacancies from within. This is determined by normal progression of employee mobility, the jobs or job groups employees normally come from to fill vacancies in the job group for which you are determining internal availability.
          • When the number of incumbents from promotable groups or jobs is entered into the promotable section of this spreadsheet, the percent internal availability is automatically calculated and inserted for the adjusted availability calculation.
        • To finalize the adjusted availability calculation you must:
          • Determine what percent of the time positions are filled externally and what percent of the time they are filled internally by transfer or promotion.
          • The total of the two weighted factors must equal 100
        • The program makes the following determinations for both minority/ethnicity subgroup and female if a placement rate goal is required.
          • If the percent of incumbent minority or female is greater than the total adjusted availability it will show as accomplished.
          • If the percent of incumbent minorities or females is less than the total adjusted availability it will establish a Placement Rate.

  • Placement Rate Analysis Report

  • Positions Reporting Elsewhere
    • The initial data extract provided requires that you identify those employees working at your work location that actually report to someone at another location. The program generates this report identifying those individuals who should be included in the “reporting” locations’ AAP, rather than your locations’ AAP.

  • Compensation Analysis Reports
    • The program will complete two different compensation analysis reports for you.
      • The female report compares the salaries of females vs. males in each pay grade & job title. In each pay grade & job title it calculates the total number by sex, the total salaries by sex, the average salaries by sex and the plus or minus difference in average salary between male and female, and the percent difference in salaries between male and female.

        • The minority report compares the salaries of each individual minority group vs. the nonminority (white) group. . In each different pay grade it calculates the total number by each race group, the total salaries by each race group, the average salaries by each race group, the plus or minus difference in average salary between each group and the percent difference in salaries between each group.
