NAC610.720. Establishment by sponsor.

     1. The sponsor shall establish goals and timetables required by NAC 610.710 based on an analysis of the number of women and minority persons it employs compared with the number which could reasonably be expected to be employed in the area in which the sponsor operates.

     2. In establishing goals, the sponsor may consider results which could reasonably be expected from good faith efforts to provide an effective program of affirmative action.

     3. Separate goals may be established for women and for minority persons, except that separate goals must be established for a particular group of persons within the classifications of women and minority persons if that group is employed in a substantially different manner from other persons within the classification.

     4. Before October 6, 1979, the sponsor shall:

     (a) Set a goal for women for the first year’s class which equals at least 50 percent of the number which represents the ratio of working women to total women in the local labor market; and

     (b) Set a percentage goal for women for each class after the first year’s class which equals at least the percentage of women in the previous year’s class.

     5. After October 6, 1979, sponsors shall make the adjustments in their goals which are required by 29 C.F.R. 30.8(b).
