________________________________ From: Immerfall, Craig [IWD] Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 2:32 PM To: Bervid, Joseph [IWD] Subject: WorkKeys testing When using WorkKeys we have always told employers that test results cannot be used as the sole criteria for selection and that other factors such as education, experience, references, etc, must be given equal weight. IWD's test administrators have all been instructed to comply with DOL's Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures as they relate to testing. These procedures state "Whenever a State employment agency or service does no more than administer or monitor a procedure (assessment) as permitted by Department of Labor regulations, and does so without making referrals or taking any other action on the basis of the results, the State employment agency will not be deemed to be a user." When IWD gives WorkKeys tests the employer provides us with a list of names of individuals they want tested. After scoring the tests we send the scores of ALL applicants back to the employer for their consideration. IWD is not making the decision or making referrals on who to test nor are we making the decision on which individuals to refer back to the employer. We are only administering and monitoring the testing procedure. An Equal Opportunity Employer/Program Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request for individuals with disabilities.
