Setting Up PR Occupational Categories

PR Occupational Categories are assigned on PR Employees. Report Seq# values 1-10 support EEO job categories. SOC codes are used for unemployment reporting. Description is up to 30 characters. Vista supports 10 major categories.

Before you start​

  • Know whether you need EEO categories, unemployment SOC reporting, or both.
  • For unemployment-reporting states, know which Aatrix reports you file.

Steps​

  1. Open PR Occupational Categories.
  2. Create each category with description and Report Seq# (1-10).
  3. Enter SOC values as required for unemployment reporting.
  4. In states that do not require occupational unemployment reporting, Occupational Category and Report Seq# use the same SOC values.
  5. Unemployment-reporting states AK, LA, SC, WA, WV map to corresponding Aatrix reports. Align category codes with those report requirements.
  6. Assign categories on PR Employees.
  7. Optionally seed an illustrative EEO major-category set (officials/managers, professionals, technicians, sales, office/clerical, craft workers, operatives, laborers, service workers, and similar). Treat that as a starter set, not a hard-coded Vista list.
