Title: ●Rescission of Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures – Recordkeeping 
Abstract:

The EEOC is proposing to rescind the recordkeeping requirements of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP), codified at 29 CFR part 1607. UGESP interpretive guidelines apply to tests and other selection procedures used to make employment decisions. When a test or other selection procedure is determined to have an adverse impact, UGESP requires the employer to validate the test or procedure and to retain the validation documentation.  Under UGESP, each employer must maintain records and other information for each job sufficient to permit analyses of the impact of its selection procedures on the employment opportunities of people based on race, sex, or ethnic group.
