The foregoing assumptions likely are over-inclusive because many employers have electronic job application processes that should be able to capture applicant flow data automatically. While the burden hours and costs for the UGESP recordkeeping requirement seem large, the average burden per employer is relatively small. UGESP applies to an estimated 887,869 employers, or about 13.5% of employers in the U.S., and these employers employ about 86.2% of employees in the U.S.12 Therefore, the estimated cost per covered employer is about $398. Additionally, 36.4% of employees work for firms with at least 5,000 employees,13 for which the burden of data entry is transferred to the applicants via use of electronic application systems. Finally, UGESP allows for simplified recordkeeping for employers with more than 15 but less than 100 employees.14 For the Commission. Dated: October 23, 2024. Charlotte A. Burrows, Chair.
