Conditions of Employment Database (COED) User’s Manual
4/4/2017
Introduction
The Conditions Of Employment Database (a.k.a. COED) developed out of a need to provide
reliable and timely labor market information to Unemployment Insurance Adjudicators and
Administrative Law Judges in determining eligibility for unemployment benefits. COED is
essentially a database containing estimates of labor market data requested by adjudicators and
administrative law judges. The basic structure of the COED system contains two modules: Able
and Available Issues (A & A Issues) and Job Offer/Quit Issues. These two areas encompass
the majority of questions that arise during an adjudicator’s investigation. The purpose of this
manual is to provide training material for using COED as well as a handy reference to be used
in tandem with the application. There are two main chapters contained in this manual, with an
explanation of the two main modules; explanations include major functions, followed by
concrete examples of cases and how to resolve such cases using the COED software.
Background Information
As part of their job duties, local labor market analysts employed by the Department of
Workforce Development provided information to the Division of Unemployment Insurance. This
information was needed to accurately assess local labor market conditions in order to reliably
determine a claimant’s eligibility to receive benefits. Local analysts provided this information
based on their knowledge and experience with the local labor market area. As the requests for
information grew, it required a more complex and sophisticated expert information system.
COED and any evolutionary changes to the original COED replace the analyst as the main
source of labor market information.
COED has been developed by the Bureau of Workforce Information as a stand-alone
application consisting of two main pieces of software. The first is the executable file, or the main
program that performs the user’s commands. The second is a large database containing
identifying information for occupations, including wages, shift patterns, commuting patterns, and
environmental conditions of each occupation. The two modules housed within COED answer
the two sets of questions generally asked by UI personnel: those that deal with a claimant’s
availability or attachment to his/her labor market and those questions which deal with
substandard labor conditions. The information provided in COED comes from publications
produced by the Department of Workforce Development, direct input from local labor market
analysts, or empirical data provided by the Census Bureau and/or the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.

Benefits of Using COED
The COED system contains many features that we hope will improve the process of
investigating unemployment eligibility. We feel that the automation of this process will provide a
more effective way to obtain the necessary information, increasing the productivity of
adjudicators, administrative law judges, and local analysts alike. The system is PC-based and
can be operated on any version of the Windows™ operating system1. Each module in COED
also contains printing functions to print out relevant information or certified reports2 necessary
for eligibility hearings. Listed below is a brief list of some of the data contained in COED.
Information Sources include:
Number of people working in over 2,000 occupations by county Statewide.
Median and First-Quartile wages for each of those occupations by labor market area. The
wages are supplied from the DWD Wage Surveys or estimates provided by local analysts.
Estimates of Shift Distributions for each occupation by county: Information includes percent
of the workforce who work 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and rotating (non-standard) shift for both full- and
part-time status.
Estimates of the hours worked in each of those occupations by county.
Characteristics of occupations, such as physical requirements, training or educational
requirements, and environmental factors that might be found in a job.
Other jobs that are “suitable” for someone with relevant experience.
Other jobs that are “similar” to a job being offered a claimant.
Wisconsin labor market areas defined by zip code and commuting flows.
Commuting patterns for each labor market area including journey to work distances as well
as an algorithm which computes expected commuting distances based on the amount of
wage offered.
Estimates of percentages of non-salaried work by occupation.
System Requirements
COED will run on any PC-based system running Windows™ 3.1 or greater. It is recommended
3
that COED be installed on a machine with a 486 or Pentium processor, as the database is
rather large and complicated queries will affect processing time. The entire system requires
55mb of free hard disk space and preferably 8mb of RAM.
Version Information:
Database portion of COED is version 2.0; the executable portion is version 3.0.
1
Note: the COED screens which appear in this manual are based on the Windows95™ operating system.
Screens may appear different from other operating systems, but will contain the same information.
2
This feature will be available in a future update of COED.
3
Although COED will run on a 486, performance is notably slower than a Pentium™-based machine.

Convention of Terms used in this manual
In order to understand the instructions given in this manual, the user must have some
elementary background in the use of computers. While we have tried to explain each function of
COED as extensively as possible, some instructions will assume prior experience. In cases
where the user needs to choose one of COED’s functions, we have inserted the word “choose”
or “select” or “click”; in these cases the user selects functions using the mouse. The “pointer”,
where specified, represents the mouse tool. The “menu bar”, where specified, refers to the
group of menus associated with the particular screen. This is similar to other menu bars found
in Windows™ applications.
Throughout the manual, we have used certain syntax to represent objects which appear in
COED. The first appears where words (in bold case) are surrounded by brackets ([]). In these
cases, the words will represent a button within COED that needs to be activated in order to
perform a certain function. Other words or phrases in brackets generally refer to words or
phrases which appear in COED screens (i.e., informational heading). Words which appear with
one letter underlined, as in the case of Print or Uncontrollable, represent menu options that
will be activated by highlighting the word with the mouse tool then releasing. Other examples
include words surrounded by directional arrows (e.g., ). These represent keys on the
keyboard that need to be activated to perform a certain function. In some cases, may
also appear as , especially on older keyboards.
Acknowledgments
The COED system was developed by the Bureau of Workforce Information (BWI), under the
direction of Terry Ludeman, Chief of Local Workforce Planning. Local Labor Market Analysts
Bev Gehrke and Ron Ramlow were instrumental in the early design stages, and analysts from
every region of the state took part in developing the database. Christopher Frye and Amy
Phillips assisted in system development and creation of the user's manual. Peter
Westenberger, of the Bureau of Information Technology Services (BITS) was the lead
programmer of COED since its inception. Stan Hedrick, of the Division of Unemployment
Insurance assisted in the planning and testing phases of COED as well as assisting in the
completion of this manual.

Compacting and Reorganizing COED
As noted earlier, COED consists of two main pieces of software; one is the executable file and
the other is the main database which houses labor market data. The database contains the
majority of the space allocated to the entire system. In the course of running queries using
COED, the database may become fragmented; this is normal and occurs to all databases and
files. The same fragmentation process occurs in the day-to-day operation of your computer. For
this reason a compact and reorganization function has been programmed into COED to
maintain the integrity of the data and ensure peak performance of the system. The user has
two options to perform this function. One will occur automatically after 30 calendar days of use
without compacting, COED will prompt the user to compact and reorganize the database, as
follows:
Note that this process normally takes approximately 10 minutes, and may take longer
depending upon the degree of defragmentation. Another option is to select the Compact menu
option which appears on the opening screen. Users may use this function if they feel that
performance has been compromised by defragmentation before 30 calendar days of use.
Degree of defragmentation is basically a function of use; another factor is the nature of queries
processed by COED. More sophisticated queries will likely cause defragmentation to occur
more quickly. Once the database has been compacted and reorganized, you should see a
notable difference in performance and speed with which COED processes your queries.

CHAPTER 1: ABLE AND AVAILABLE ISSUES
INTRODUCTION
The two main modules contained in COED correspond to the information that is requested
during an Unemployment Insurance case investigation. This information can basically be forced
into two sets of questions; one dealing with a claimant’s availability to his/her labor market,
referred to as “able and available” issues, and a second set of questions dealing with
substandard labor conditions for jobs/occupations. This chapter will focus on the first set of
questions (able and available, or A and A Issues), while chapter 2 will focus on substandard
labor conditions for jobs/occupations. Under COED, these questions are referred to as job
offer/quit issues.

Conducting A System Query
Step 1:
Selecting An Occupation
To select an occupation for a query in COED, access the occupations screen by clicking once
on the mouse while the pointer lies above the word Occupations on the main menu. The word
will be highlighted in blue once selected.
The following screen should appear:
Figure 1.3: UI Occupations Selection screen
In COED, there are three methods available to conduct an occupational search:
1. OCCUPATIONAL TITLE SEARCH,
2. KEY WORD SEARCH, AND
3. RELATED OCCUPATIONS SEARCH.

Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
Method 1: Occupational Title Search
To conduct an occupational title search use the text and scroll boxes available on the UI
Occupations screen. (See Figure 1.4 shown below)
Using the Text and Scroll Boxes:
There are two ways to locate an occupation using the text and scroll boxes:
1) typing one or more letters of the occupation of interest, or
2) use the scroll bar and arrows to move up and down the occupations list.
On the screen, a blinking cursor in the occupational title box labeled: Type one or more
letters, or select from the list, prompts you to either enter the letters of an occupational title or
scroll up and down the occupations list (sorted in alphabetical order) until you locate the
appropriate choice.
As you type letters in the occupation title box, the occupational list in the scroll bar box moves
up and down to highlight those occupations that match the letters entered. For example, if you
typed “acc” in the title box the scroll bar would move down the occupations list and highlight
Accountant.
Figure 1.4: UI Occupations selection screen
If you type one or more letters in the occupational title box and press the key, the
system will identify and display the occupation that most closely matches your selection.

Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
Method 2: Key Word Search
A second method available to conduct an occupational search in COED is to use
the [Key Word Search] button located in the upper right side of the UI Occupations screen.
If a selected occupation is not found, you may use the key word search to locate occupations
that are similar in spelling. To access this function, enter your selected occupation in the text
box and press the [Key Word Search] button.
Figure 1.5: Matching Key Word Occupations box
Using Wildcards in your search:
Another way to locate occupations in COED is to use the wildcards: *, ? feature, located in the
upper right corner on the UI Occupations screen.
COED uses the wildcard characters to
substitute for search text. The asterisk (*) searches for any number of characters, while the
question mark (?) searches for a single character. Generally the asterisk is placed at the
beginning or end of a selected word fragment. Using wildcards: *, ? in the occupational title
box allows you to broaden your search.
For example, if you enter “acc*” in the box and press the [Key Word Search] button, the
following occupations will appear in the Matching Key Word Occupations box: Accountant;
Accountant, Cost; Accounting Supervisor; Clerk, Accounting; etc.

Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
Method 3: Related Occupations Search
The third and final method available to search for an occupation is the Related Occupations
Search option. To further broaden your search for an occupation, you may use the related
occupations function, which will search COED’s occupation list for not only occupations which
are similar in spelling, but have similar characteristics based on its occupational code. To
access this function, enter your selected occupation in the text box and press the [Related
Occs] button.
For example, as shown below a search for Accountant would produce a list of identified related
occupations. Notice that not all of the occupations below begin with the letters “acc”.
Figure 1.6: Related Occupational Titles box
Once you have located an occupation of interest, you need to highlight your selection by either
pressing the enter key on your keyboard or pointing and clicking your mouse on the
occupational title in the scroll box.
To choose a selected occupation for use in your query, press the [Choose] button located to
the right of the scroll bar box to make your selection. After you press this button, the occupation
you have selected appears in the Chosen Occupations box. Highlight “Clerk, Accounting” in
the [Related Occupational Titles] box and choose.
To delete a selected occupation, highlight the occupation in the Chosen Occupations box
using the pointer and clicking once on the mouse, then select the [Delete] button to the right
of that box. To delete all chosen occupations, press the [Delete All] button.
Only one occupational title may be selected per search.4 To conduct another search, you
simply delete the letters in the occupation title box by using the key on your
keyboard.
4
Although only one occupational title may be selected per search, under this section an infinite number of
occupations can be chosen based on a claimant’s experience. COED accepts each chosen occupation
until the user selects the [Close] button to return to the main screen.

Once you have chosen an occupation press the [Close] button at the bottom of the screen.
Closing the UI Occupations screen returns you to Able and Available Issues - Suitable Work
screen. Note that this screen now lists your job (occupation) selection: Clerk, Accounting.
Now that you have selected your occupation, you need to define the labor market area (LMA)
for conducting your query. You may also view associated occupational information for the
occupation you have selected. The next section explains how to access this information using
COED.

ASSOCIATED OCCUPATIONAL EMPLOYMENT STATISTICAL INFORMATION
To view associated Occupational Employment Statistical (OES) information, find an occupation
of interest by entering the first few letters or by using the search functions, then point and
double-click on the occupational title. Be sure you double-click on the occupation within the list
of occupations and not the text box where you entered the first few letters. The Related UI
Occupational Title Info screen shown below will appear displaying the related OES 6-digit
code and title, specific vocational preparation (SVP) level, standardized shift length5 and shift
group (for COED use only). The example below contains information for Accountant.
Figure 1.8: Related UI Occupational Title Info screen
Once you have reviewed associated OES information for your chosen occupation, select menu
item Additional Info to view five other sources of related occupational title information: 1) Pool
of UI “Suitable” Occupations, 2) Pool of UI “Similar” Occupations, 3) Other UI titles with same
OES-5 code, 4) Associated DOT Occupational Titles, and 5) SVP Definitions.

Pool of UI “Similar” Occupations
While the pool of “Suitable” Occupations is generally broad, the “similar” occupations extracted
by COED provide information for occupations more closely related to the occupation chosen by
the user. These occupations generally have the same OES-5 digit code and the same SVP
(Specific Vocational Preparation) level, whereas the suitable occupations are basically all
occupations the claimant could perform based on his/her current level of training and/or
experience.

SVP Definitions
The last menu option provided by the “Related UI Occupational Title Info” screen displays
definitions of each of the 6 different SVP levels. These levels are translated from national
designations (containing 9 levels) to the 6 levels contained in COED. This code is used to
distinguish the amount of training and/or experience necessary to perform a particular
occupation. COED uses this information to identify similar work.
Figure 1.13: Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) Definitions screen
A note on COED’s Occupations List:
The COED system contains identifying and descriptor information for 2189 occupations. These
occupations were compiled by merging elements of the OES (Occupational Employment
Statistics) structure with occupations that occur with high frequency in Wisconsin’s labor
market. In addition to classifying the occupations based on the OES structure, COED adds
elements of skill level and education to the occupational definition. This added component is
based on SVP (Specific Vocational Preparation) codes which allow the user to distinguish
between higher and lower skilled occupations. Another point to remember when searching for
occupations is that some occupations in COED’s list are inverted. For instance, a general office
clerk might appear as clerk, general office. It is advisable to use the search functions as much
as possible to assist in finding occupations. An addendum of occupations has been added to
the end of this manual to provide a ready-reference to the list of occupations housed in COED.

Choosing Controllable & Uncontrollable Restrictions
There are two types of restrictions that will determine a claimant’s probability of being eligible
for UI benefits: Controllable and Uncontrollable. COED accounts for each of these under the
menu item entitled Restrictions.
Note on Restrictions:
The COED system contains basic information regarding both controllable and uncontrollable
restrictions; controllable restrictions contain such information as work-shift availability, full- and
part-time status and minimum accepted wage. Uncontrollable restrictions are those which relate
to a claimant’s physical condition and their ability to perform the work of a particular occupation.
Uncontrollable restrictions available under COED include basic work functions such as physical
demand, sight, touch, hearing, vision, or other type of accommodation. Under default settings,
COED assumes that the claimant has no physical restrictions, and is available to work full-time
and all shifts. Therefore, it is very important that correct restrictions are entered for the user’s
particular query. COED also offers a reset function to return all values to defaults once a
scenario has been entered and queried successfully. The following sections attempt to explain
how to use the restrictions menus and what effect they have on labor market availability.
You will have the option of selecting Controllable or Uncontrollable restrictions
Controllable Restrictions Menu
To access the Controllable Restrictions screen, select the Restrictions menu with the pointer,
move the pointer to highlight the word Controllable and release the mouse button. The main
sections under controllable restrictions deal with shift availability and full- or part-time status.
Shift availability is determined by selecting appropriate starting and ending times; note that
these times are recognized by COED as ranges so they can be longer than 8 hours but no less
than 8 hours. The Controllable Restrictions menu also allows the user to select availability
based on the shift for which the claimant is available (i.e., First, Second, Third, or Rotating shift
arrangement).
A claimant may also superimpose a personal/preferential restriction by not accepting
any job that doesn’t pay a specified wage. Enter wages with a decimal point (no dollar
sign is needed).
Press return after entering wage for COED to accept.

Uncontrollable Restrictions Menu
The next submenu in the Restrictions section is selecting uncontrollable restrictions. These are
generally physical working conditions contained in 20 different categories covering items such
as physical demand, acuity, vision, depth perception, etc. Adding uncontrollable restrictions to a
query will narrow the claimant’s universe of able jobs. The category which has the most effect
on the claimant’s ability is physical demand. Most jobs in the labor market are distinguished
according to this category. COED determines a claimant’s ability to perform certain work by
maintaining working condition information for each of the occupations housed in the database.
To select this menu option from the main Able & Available screen, select Restrictions on the
menu bar; using the mouse pointer to highlight the word Uncontrollable, release to access the
following screen:

see above.
As you can see on the last row (beginning with Hours/Week), our controllable restrictions are
repeated here. Be aware that these items are independent from those contained in the
controllable restrictions module. Parameters should be set under these tabs only if the user
intends to measure the cumulative influence of availability on ability to work.
For our purposes here, however, we are more interested in the 20 physical categories; under
normal claimant situations, the user will have to go through each one of these menus and select
physical restrictions that match each claimant’s experience.
Default settings for these items are no physical restrictions.
If changes are made to any of the categories within uncontrollable restrictions, those changes
will be noted on the tab next to the category name with an asterisk (*).
If you want to change to the default settings, access the uncontrollable restrictions menu and
press the [Reset] Button, then press the [OK] Button to return to the scenario menu. To reset
all categories (both controllable and uncontrollable), select the item Reset included in the
Restrictions menu.

ABLE AND AVAILABLE ISSUES: EXAMPLES
The following case scenarios will guide you through examples of how COED can be used to
address whether or not a claimant is eligible for receiving unemployment benefits. Each
example highlights certain functions of the database.
Example 1: Able & Available Issues - Uncontrollable Restriction
A claimant, who has work experience as a general office clerk, a stock clerk, a material handler,
and a sales representative applies for unemployment benefits. The claimant has a physical
demand restriction of no more than 20 pounds. The claimant lives in zip code 53597. Claimant
is in the first week of unemployment. Based on the physical restrictions, what percentage of all
suitable jobs in his/her labor market is the claimant able and available to perform?
In order to successfully perform the query, we must translate the information above to inputs
which will be used by COED. We begin by extracting the necessary information from the above
question:
STEPS TO PROCESS THE QUERY
After you have accessed the Able & Available Issues Module, input the information contained in
the case scenario described above.
Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
We can extract 4 occupations: general office clerk; stock clerk; material handler, and sales
representative8
Since there are two “clerk” positions, we may use the [Key Word Search] function:
Type “clerk” in the text box
Activate the [Key Word Search] button; scroll through list until selected occupations
are found, select with the pointer, then choose those occupations for the query by
activating the [Choose] button to the right of the scroll box
You may add the other occupations, material handler and sales representative
following the same procedure
8
Note that some occupations which are longer than one word are sometimes found easier in COED by
inverting the title, e.g. General Office Clerk might be translated into Clerk, General Office
26
Chapter 1: Able & Available Issues
Conditions of Employment Database (COED) User’s Manual
4/4/2017
Step 2: Defining a Labor Market Area
Since the claimant lives in zip code 53597, we would enter that in the appropriate box on the
“Define your Labor Market Area” screen. Be sure to press return for COED to accept the zip
code.
The labor market area associated with that zip code includes all or parts of Columbia &
Dane County.
Step 3: Choosing Controllable/Uncontrollable Restrictions
The claimant in this example carries a 20 pound physical demand restriction. Activate the
uncontrollable restriction screen by selecting Uncontrollable under the Restrictions menu
option:
The 20 pound restriction falls under the Light category within Physical Demand categories;
therefore, select the Physical Demand tab by clicking on the tab with the mouse, then select
the “Light” option by selecting the circle to the left of the category name. Activate the [OK]
button to return to the main screen
Step 4: Selecting an Unemployment Duration Factor
The last step involved in performing a query is selecting a canvass period; In this case,
since an initial claimant is involved, we would select [Week 1-6]
Select the Week menu option by clicking once with the pointer above the word
Week; select the circle to the left of the first category. Select [OK] to return to the
main menu screen
Step 5: Performing the Query
When a query is performed in COED, the database will perform various calculations and
return summary statistics to the user; those statistics include
Number of Full-time suitable jobs
Number of All suitable jobs
Number of Available jobs
Number of Able jobs
Available and Able Ratios
Shift distribution information for the occupations chosen

Query Results:
Figure 1.18: Example 1 Query Output
Notice that under this example, our claimant would be eligible to receive unemployment
benefits, based on the fact that greater than 15% of all suitable work is available. This example
also illustrates the effect that uncontrollable restrictions would have on a claimant’s “ability” to
perform particular occupations. We now turn to another type of query that an investigator might
encounter: controllable restrictions. Controllable restrictions tend to narrow a claimant’s
universe; these restrictions are generally self-imposed (i.e., minumum acceptable wage,
preferred shift arrangements, etc.)

Example 2: Able & Available Issues - Controllable Restrictions
A claimant who resides in zip code 53201 with experience as a general office clerk, a welder, a
truck driver, and a janitor will accept only those jobs that pay $8.42 per hour or greater. Also,
the claimant is only available for work from 7:00am to 5:30pm, Monday through Friday.
Claimant is in the second week of unemployment.
What percentage of all suitable full-time work is the claimant able and available to perform
under these circumstances?
STEPS TO PROCESS THE QUERY
Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
We can extract four occupations from the above example: Clerk, General Office; Welder
(Welder, Arc); Truck Driver, Light; and Janitor
Step 2: Defining a Labor Market Area
Enter zip code 53201 in the appropriate location; zip code 53201 encompasses Milwaukee,
Ozaukee, Washington, and Waukesha Counties
Step 3: Choosing Controllable/Uncontrollable Restrictions
Uncontrollable Restrictions: None, reset if necessary
Controllable Restrictions: Wage greater than $8.42/hr, Available 7:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday
To enter wages, access the controllable restrictions menu by selecting Controllable
under the Restrictions menu option.
Enter wages (Dollar signs are not needed) in the box to the right of [Mininum

Notice our percentage of available jobs went from 43.16% of the claimant’s labor market to
54.11%, only by increasing our range of available hours. Again, these sensitive changes to
starting and ending times will be a function of the type of occupation selected. For our next
example, we examine a different set of occupations. We will choose occupations which are
characteristic of second shift work; by placing controllable restrictions for preferred hours which
match second shift hours, we can theorize that the percentage of jobs available will increase as
a function of shift range.

Example 3: Able & Available Issues - Shift Characteristics
Most occupations in the State of Wisconsin are dominated by first shift (4:30am-7pm)
arrangements. These high percentages of first-shift occupations tend to increase as we move
from urban areas to rural areas. This next example will demonstrate how COED can distinguish
occupations on the basis of shift characteristics.
STEPS TO PROCESS THE QUERY
Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
First, we choose occupations that are dominated by second shift characteristics:
Choral Director
Music Director
Musician, Instrumental
Step 2: Defining a Labor Market Area
For the purpose of example, we can choose the State as our Labor Market Area; Activate
the [Statewide] button found under the LMA menu option
Step 3: Choosing Controllable/Uncontrollable Restrictions
Controllable Restrictions: here we choose Second Shift only by deactivating First, Third, and
Rotating Shift (select the box to the left of First, Third and Rotating Shift with mouse
pointer); make sure to clear any previous controllable restrictions
We do not choose any uncontrollable restrictions in order to isolate the effect preferred shift
will have on the claimant’s availability
Step 4: Selecting an Unemployment Duration Factor
Initial Claim; select Week 1-6
From a theoretical standpoint, if these occupations are dominated by second-shift hours
arrangements, our query should provide us with a high percentage of availability; submit the
query by activating the [GO!] button on the main AA Issues screen.

Chapter 1: Able & Available Issues
Conditions of Employment Database (COED) User’s Manual

Query Results:
Figure 1.21: Example 3 Query Output
Since there are no uncontrollable restrictions, our able ratio is 100%. Notice that our available
ratio is 75.61%, which we would expect since our claimant’s preference is second shift only and
the selected occupations are second shift dominant.
To demonstrate the effect shift preference has on availability, let’s change our claimant’s shift
arrangement to first-shift only; we can hypothesize that our claimant’s availability will be
reduced significantly. Change the restriction by deactivating the second, third and rotating shift
options under the controllable restrictions screen and activating the first shift option. Submit the
query. Following processing, our claimant’s availability is reduced to 17.07% and therefore
would not be eligible for benefits.

33
Conditions of Employment Database (COED) User’s Manual
4/4/2017
Example 4: Able & Available Issues - Controllable Restriction (2)
Another controllable restriction which might have an effect on a claimant’s availability is the
minimum wage that the claimant will accept. In areas where a certain occupation is in low
demand, or in areas that experience higher unemployment, the claimant’s preferred wage may
narrow his/her universe of available jobs to such an extent that eligibility would be denied.
Generally, occupations within durable manufacturing industries will have the widest range
throughout the state. The occupation which occurs with the highest frequency within durable
manufacturing is Assembler, Class B. We may also hypothesize that our results will be
dependent upon location; an area which has a high percentage of jobs in manufacturing and
offers higher wages will generally be more likely to offer benefits than would an area which is
not dominated by durable manufacturing.
Rock County, which includes the Janesville-Beloit area, is well-known for its dominant durable
manufacturing sector; the Eau Claire area, which has grown in durable manufacturing in the
past few years, is more dominated by retail trade than durable manufacturing. We set up the
information to be input into COED:
STEPS TO PROCESS THE QUERY
Occupation: Assembler, Class B
Labor Market Area: For this example we’ll choose by county, Rock County
Uncontrollable Restrictions: Default, no uncontrollable restrictions
Controllable Restrictions: Mininum acceptable hourly wage = $7.55/hr
Unemployment Duration Factor: Initial Claim, select Week 1-6

Note: Since there are no uncontrollable restrictions, Able jobs match all suitable jobs
Notice that under this set of parameters, our claimant would be eligible for benefits since he/she
is available for at least 50% of all suitable full-time work.
We continue this example by changing the labor market from Rock County to Eau Claire and
9
Chippewa County , and leaving all other variables equal.

Under the above set of parameters, the claimant would not be eligible for benefits since he/she

example demonstrates the effect that location will have on a claimant’s eligibility. For the
example above, our minimum acceptable hourly wage would have to drop to $6.31/hr before
the claimant would be available for more than 50% of all suitable full-time work.

Example 5: Able & Available Issues - Unemployment Duration Factor
The next example demonstrates the effect that the unemployment duration factor has on a
claimant’s eligibility to receive benefits. The relationship between the canvass week and the
universe of suitable full-time work is based on the Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) level
that is attached to every occupation. SVP levels are based upon the amount of training
necessary for average performance in a specific job-worker situation. Training can take a
variety of forms, from vocational education to on-the-job training or in-plant training (classroom
study provided by the employer). COED uses a combined list of codes that shortens the
number of possible codes from nine to six. This was done in order to match the number of
possible SVP codes to the number of week ranges under the unemployment duration factor. As
the number of weeks unemployed increases, COED will reduce the SVP factor to include a
larger range of available jobs. We can use the following example to demonstrate:
STEPS TO PROCESS THE QUERY
Occupation: Manager, Data Processing
Labor Market Area: Zip Code-
Uncontrollable Restrictions: Default, no uncontrollable restrictions
Controllable Restrictions: Minimum Acceptable hourly wage, $15.8011
Unemployment Duration Factor: Week 1-6; incremented after each query
The current occupation carries an SVP level of 6; under COED that level would translate into
over 10 years of training. We summarize the results below for separate queries, each query
incrementing the unemployment duration factor by one category.
Note: In cases in which two or more occupations are chosen, the occupation(s) with the highest
SVP level will be chosen as the determining factor in the query. Therefore, care should be
taken when determining eligibility for a claimant that may have little experience in an occupation
with a high SVP level. Under normal circumstances, occupations should be chosen based on
the amount of time the claimant has performed at a particular occupation.

We can infer from the results above that the number of all suitable jobs increases as the
unemployment duration factor increases. COED will expand the pool of suitable full-time work
by lowering the SVP level by one as each duration factor category is surpassed. For this to
have any effect on the available ratio, a controllable restriction must be entered; in this case we
have entered a minimum acceptable hourly wage of $15.80. During the first canvass period
(Week 1-6), COED will only search for occupations with an SVP level similar to the chosen
occupation (in this case, 6). As Week 6 passes, COED would then begin to add occupations
which have an SVP level of 5, widening the claimant’s potential universe of jobs. This process
continues until the 26th week of unemployment, or until the available ratio drops below 50%. In
this example, the claimant would continue to be eligible for benefits through the 18th week.

Example 6: Able & Available Issues - Controllable and Uncontrollable Restrictions
Our last example will be used to demonstrate the functions of COED in cases where a claimant
has both a controllable and uncontrollable restriction. The distinction between controllable and
uncontrollable restrictions is related to the percentage of jobs for which the claimant is
“available” (in the case of controllable restrictions) and “able” (in the case of uncontrollable
restrictions). The percentage of the workforce in both cases will be derived as the “able” ratio
and “available” ratio. Obviously, if a claimant has uncontrollable restrictions that prevent him/her
from performing a particular occupation, the ratio of “able” jobs to all suitable jobs will decrease
as restrictions increase in number or severity. Controllable restrictions will effect the “available”
ratio; for instance, if a claimant won’t accept an hourly rate less than some preferred wage, that
restriction will restrict the percentage of occupations for which that claimant is qualified.

CHAPTER 2: JOB OFFER/QUIT ISSUES
INTRODUCTION
Some questions which arise during an unemployment insurance claims investigation concern
the justification of a claimant’s refusal to accept an offer of work, or to quit a job that he/she
was performing for a specific short length of time. There are a number of federally or state
legislated “qualifiers” that allow a claimant to refuse an offer of work, or to quit a job. For
example, a claimant is not required to accept a position when the pay offered places the job
position in the lowest 25 percent quartile of the pay range, in the local labor market area.
Other factors that might make a job offer refusal legitimate are hours, commuting distance,
and/or conditions of the position that put the job in a substandard classification. A successful
query will provide sufficient information to help you make a decision regarding a particular case.
This chapter shows you how to use the Job Offer/Quit Issues module to identify jobs
(occupations) similar to work offers rejected or quit. The module lets you compare jobs in
Wisconsin labor markets by the labor law standards for wages and hours.

Conducting A System Query
Step 1:
Selecting An Occupation
To select an occupation for a query in COED, access the occupations screen by clicking once
on the mouse while the pointer lies above the word Occupations on the main menu. The word
will be highlighted in blue once selected.
The following screen should appear:
Figure 2.3: UI Occupations Selection screen
In COED, there are three methods available to conduct an occupational search:
1. OCCUPATIONAL TITLE SEARCH,
2. KEY WORD SEARCH, and
3. RELATED OCCUPATIONS SEARCH.
Chapter 2: Job Offer/Quit Issues
45
Conditions of Employment Database (COED) User’s Manual
4/4/2017
Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
Method 1: Occupational Title Search
To conduct an occupational title search use the text and scroll boxes available on the UI
Occupations screen. (See Figure 2.4 shown below.)
Using the Text and Scroll Boxes:
There are two ways to locate an occupation using the text and scroll boxes:
1) typing one or more letters of the occupation of interest, or
2) use the scroll bar and arrows to move up and down the occupations list.
On the screen, a blinking cursor in the occupational title box labeled: Type one or more
letters, or select from the list, prompts you to either enter the letters of an occupational title or
scroll up and down the occupations list sorted in alphabetical order until you locate the
appropriate choice.
As you type letters in the occupation title box, the occupational list in the scroll bar box moves
up and down to highlight those occupations that match the letters entered. For example, if you
typed “acc” in the title box the scroll bar would move down the occupations list and highlight
Accountant.
Figure 2.4: Occupational Title selection screen
If you type one or more letters in the occupational title box and press the key, the
system will identify and display the occupation that most closely matches your selection.

Conditions of Employment Database (COED) User’s Manual
4/4/2017
Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
Method 2: Key Word Search
A second method available to conduct an occupational search in COED is to use
the [Key Word Search] button located in the upper right side of the UI Occupations screen.
If a selected occupation is not found, you may use the key word search to locate occupations
that are similar in spelling. To access this function, enter your selected occupation in the text
box and press the [Key Word Search] button.
Figure 2.5: Matching Key Word Occupations box
Using Wildcards in your search:
Another way to locate occupations in COED is to use the wildcards: *, ? feature, located in the
upper right corner on the UI Occupations screen.
COED uses the wildcard characters to
substitute for search text. The asterisk (*) searches for any number of characters, while the
question mark (?) search for a single character. Generally the asterisk is placed at the
beginning or end of an alpha character string. Using wildcards: *, ? in the occupational title
box allows you to broaden your search.
For example, if you enter “acc*” in the box and press the [Key Word Search] button, the
following occupations will appear in the Matching Key Word Occupations box: Accountant;
Accountant, Cost; Accounting Supervisor; Clerk, Accounting; etc.

Step 1: Selecting an Occupation
Method 3: Related Occupations Search
The third and final method available to search for an occupation is the Related Occupations
Search option. To further broaden your search for an occupation, you may use the related
occupations function, which will search COED’S occupation list for not only occupations which
are similar in spelling, but have similar characteristics based on its occupational code. To
access this function, enter your selected occupation in the text box and press the [Related
Occs] button.
For example, as shown below a search for Accountant would produce a list of identified related
occupations. Notice that not all of the occupations below begin with the letters “acc”.
Figure 2.6: Related Occupational Titles box
Once you have located an occupation of interest, you need to highlight your selection by either
pressing the enter key on your keyboard or pointing and clicking your mouse on the
occupational title in the scroll box.
To choose a selected occupation for use in your query, press the [Choose] button located to
the right of the scroll bar box to make your selection. After you press this button, the occupation
you have selected appears in the Chosen Occupations box. Highlight “Clerk, Accounting” in
the [Related Occupational Titles] box and choose.
To delete a selected occupation, highlight the occupation in the Chosen Occupations box
using the pointer and clicking once on the mouse, then select the [Delete] button to the right
of that box. To delete all chosen occupations, press the [Delete All] button.
Only one occupational title may be selected per Job Offer/Quit Issue search. To conduct
another search, you simply delete the letters in the occupation title box by using the
key on your keyboard.

The last menu option provided by the “Related UI Occupational Title Info” screen displays
definitions of each of the 6 different SVP levels. These levels are translated from national
designations (containing 9 levels) to the 6 levels contained in COED. This code is used to
distinguish the amount of training and/or experience necessary to perform a particular
occupation. COED uses this information to identify similar work.

A note on COED’s Occupations List:
The COED system contains identifying and descriptor information for 2189 occupations. These
occupations were compiled by merging elements of the OES (Occupational Employment
Statistics) structure with occupations that occur with high frequency in Wisconsin’s labor
market. In addition to classifying the occupations based on the OES structure, COED adds
elements of skill level and education to the occupational definition. This added component is
based on SVP (Specific Vocational Preparation) codes which allow the user to distinguish
between higher and lower skilled occupations. Another point to remember when searching for
occupations is that some occupations in COED’s list are inverted. For instance, a general office
clerk might appear as clerk, general office. It is advisable to use the search functions as much
as possible to assist in finding occupations. An addendum of occupations has been added to
the end of this manual to provide a ready-reference to the list of occupations housed in COED.

Wage (amount of wage)
When you access the Hours and Conditions of Work screen, a cursor automatically appears in
the [Wage] box prompting you to enter the amount of wage being offered.
It is important to type decimals with wage offers to distinguish the type of wage being paid, i.e.,
hourly, weekly, annual, etc. For example, a wage offer entered as 7.67 represents $7.67, while
a offer entered as 767 represents $767.00. After typing in the amount of a wage offered, press
the or key on your keyboard. Notice that the numeric characters of the
wage amount change from a blue to black colored font and a dollar symbol appears in the wage
box.
Note: If the wage amount you enter is lower than minimum wage or seemingly high, COED will
display the following warning message, “Equivalent hourly wage may be too low (or too high).
Are you sure wage info is correct?”
Wage Offered
Now that you have entered the amount of wage offered, select the type of wage that amount
represents. There are five types of wage offers available in COED:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Hourly,
Weekly,
Bi-weekly,
Monthly, and
Annually.
To select a [Wage Offered] press the button beside the desired wage type. For instance, if a
query was for a job offer paid every two weeks, you would click on the button in front of [Biweekly]. Wage (amount of wage) needs to match wage offered.
Hours/Week
To identify whether a job offer is for part-time or full-time work, enter the amount of hours per
week that are offered in the [Hours/week] box. COED defines full-time work as jobs with work
of 35 hours or more per week, and part-time work as jobs with work of 34 hours or less per
week. Press the or key.
After you press the or key the following occurs: 1. the numeric characters
representing weekly hours changes from a blue to black font, 2. decimals are added to identify
the number of work hours (e.g., 35.00), and 3. the system processes and displays the
equivalent hourly wage rate under the [Equiv. hrly wage] heading (e.g., $10.96).

JOB OFFER/QUIT ISSUES MODULE: EXAMPLES
The following case scenarios will guide you through examples of how the COED can be used to
address whether or not certain employment conditions place a job offer in a substandard
classification.
There are a number of qualifiers that allow a claimant (job seeker) to refuse an offer of work or
to quit a job if substandard labor conditions exists. Qualifiers that place a job offer in question
are substandard 1. wages and 2. shift time and work hours. Commuting time and distance
may also give the claimant good cause for refusing or quitting a job.
Example 1: Job Offer/Quit Issues - Shift Time and Hours
A claimant is offered a position as a general office clerk. The job is a second shift job for 38
hours per week, and pays $7.35 per hour in the Milwaukee area. Because the offer is second
shift and only pays wages of $7.35 per hour the claimant turns down the job offer.
To determine if the claimant was justified in refusing to accept the general office clerk position,
you need to address whether or not the conditions of the job offer placed it in a substandard
classification? The actual question might be: what percentage of general office clerk positions
in the Milwaukee Labor Market Area are found on the second shift and pay $7.35 per hour or
less?
STEPS TO PROCESS THE QUERY
After you have accessed the JOB OFFER/QUIT ISSUES Module, enter the information
contained in the case scenario described above.
Step 1: Select an occupation.

title. Some occupational titles also contain abbreviations, ampersands (&), apostrophes,
blank spacing, colons, commas, dashes, hyphenation, parentheses, periods, roman
numerals and slashes (/). In order to successfully locate occupational titles with multiple
words, sometimes you must add one or more of the items previously mentioned. For
example, Clerk, Customer Service/Circulation.

market area (LMA) for conducting the query.
Step 2: Define the Labor Market Area
For Job Offer/Quit Issues, the labor market area defined for a query must be for the area where
the job offer exists.
Since the job offer is in the Milwaukee Labor Market, define the labor market area as zip
code: 53214. This is the zip code of the job offer location.
On the Define Your Labor Market Area screen, click on the Zipcode box and type
“53214”, then press the or key on your keyboard. COED will display

Note: Be sure the “Num Lock” function of your keyboard is activated.
To continue with the example system query, you need to find out what percentage of jobs for
general office clerks located in zip code 53214 are second shift jobs.
Step 3: Choose Hours and Conditions of Work
In this query, the job offer is for second shift work of 38 hours or more per week. In COED job
offers of 35 or more hours per week are considered full-time work, while job offers of 35 or less
hours are considered part-time work.
The wage offer for this job is $7.35 per hour.
On the Hours and Conditions of Work screen, enter the amount and type of wage
offered. Also enter the number of work hours per week for the job offer. Then select the
work shift of the job offer: first, second, third or rotating shift.
Based on the specifics of this query, input an hourly wage offer of $7.35 for 38 hours per
week on the second shift. COED automatically calculates and displays the equivalent
hourly wage rate ($7.35).
Press the [OK] button. The system returns to the Job
Offer/Quit Issues - Similar Jobs screen which now displays the equivalent hourly wage
rate in the [Wage Offered] box.

Query Results:
In our example, the claimant was justified in turning down the job offer because the wage
offered ($7.35) was less than the substantially less favorable (SLF) wage ($8.46) of the General
Office Clerk positions in the Milwaukee labor market area (zip code 53214), and there are less
than 5% of similar jobs found on the second shift.

Example 2: Job Offer/Quit Issues - Wage Offer
A claimant is offered a job as a Semi-truck driver in Kenosha located in zip code 53401. The
pay is based upon the percentage of load hauled per trip. According to the claimant, in past
jobs as a truck driver he/she worked roughly 60 hours a week and earned $797.40, which
calculates to $13.29 per hour. The claimant turned down this job offer in favor of attempting to
secure a position paid on an hourly basis.
To determine if the claimant is justified in turning down the job offer, you need to identify what
percentage of Truck Driver jobs in the Kenosha labor market area have salaries based on a
percentage of the load hauled.
Hint: the non-salaried percent heading on the Similar Jobs screen will provide you with the
necessary information to make your determination. Non-salaried percent refers to jobs that are
paid on commission, piece meal work, and/or tips. In this example query, pay based upon the
percentage of load hauled per trip would be piece meal work.
STEPS TO PROCESS THE QUERY
Step 1: Select an occupation.
First you need to identify the occupational title to select for this example query. Type “truck
driver” in the occupational title box. COED has 6 matching key word occupations for “truck
driver.” To view these occupations use the [Key Word Search] button.
Reviewing the UI Occupational Title Info will provide you with information on the
Occupational Employment Statistics Code and Title, standardized shift length, specific
vocational preparation level and shift group. Active this feature by scrolling down the
occupational list to highlight the Truck Driver title that is the closest match to your query
needs, then double click on the title.
After reviewing the associated OES information contained on the Related UI Occupational
Title screen, you will find that Truck Driver, Tractor Trailer is the best occupational title
match for this query.
Step 2: Define the Labor Market Area
The job offer is located in zip code 53401.
On the Define Your Labor Market Area screen, type 53401 in the Zipcode box.
Kenosha County, Milwaukee County and Racine County now appear in Your chosen LMA
box. Notice that the number “3” also appears below the box and beside the heading: “#:”.
Now the occupation is selected (Truck Driver, Tractor Trailer) and the labor market is defined
(zip code 53401). For COED to calculate the non-salaried percent of Tractor Trailer Truck

Drivers working in zip code 53401, you need to choose the work hours and conditions
describing the job offer.
Step 3: Choose Hours and Conditions of Work.
For cases dealing with non-salaried wage questions, you need to obtain information from the
claimant concerning the wage offer and job shift.
In this example, you need to collect
information on what the claimant’s weekly pay is for working 60 hours a week.
On the Hours and Conditions of Work screen, enter the hourly wage amount of $13.25.
Then type in the weekly work hours as 60. Since this job offer is for a position that starts at
6:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m., select the first shift.
Note: In COED, first shift is defined as work found in the hours between 4:30 a.m. and
7:00 p.m.
Selecting the occupation (Truck Driver, Tractor Trailer), defining a labor market area (zip
code 53401), and choosing the work hours and conditions ($13.25 hourly job offer for 60
hours per week on the first shift) of the job offer, provides the necessary information needed
to perform the query.
Step 4: Perform query; Review and print similar job data.
On the Similar Jobs screen, COED displays the Non-Salaried Percent (50.20%) for Tractor
Trailer Truck Drivers working in the labor market area for zip code 53401.

Example 3: Job Offer/Quit Issues - Wage Offer
A claimant was offered a job as a fast food crew member in zip code 54481. The position pays
$5.00 per hour working 30 hours a week on a rotating shift. What would be the substantially
less favorable (SLF) wage for this job offer?
STEPS TO PROCESS THE QUERY
Step 1: Select an occupation.
To begin this query we must identify the appropriate occupation title for fast food crew. First
you should identify the key word in the occupational title. Type “food” in the Occupational
Title box and activate the [Key Word Search].
As shown in the Matching Key Word Occupations box, COED contains 23 occupational
titles containing the word “food.”
Reviewing the UI Occupational Title Info for the occupations with “food” in the title will help
you select the most appropriate occupation for your query. The Occupational Employment
Statistical (OES) title and OES Specific Vocational Preparation level (SVP) will provide you
with the information you need to make your occupation selection. For assistance in
identifying an occupational title refer to this manual’s Addendum of Occupational Titles.
After viewing associated OES information to identify the appropriate occupational title,
select Fast Food Worker. Although the occupational title, Food Service Worker contains
the same OES, SVP description and shift group rating as Fast Food Worker, the title Fast
Food Worker more closely relates to the job offer of fast food crew member.
The case scenario provides you with the labor market area information you need to continue
processing this query.
Step 2: Define the Labor Market Area
The job offer is in the 54481 zip code. The labor market is defined by the location of where
the job is offered. COED uses zip codes to determine the counties to include that represent
the labor market.
Selecting zip code 54481 as the labor market area will capture Marathon, Portage and
Wood counties.
So far, you have identified and selected an occupation (Fast Food Worker) that matches the
job fast food crew member, and defined the labor market as zip code 54481 the restaurant
where the job offer is located. Now choose the work hours and conditions that match this job
offer.

Query Results:
After processing the query, the Similar Jobs screen displays the SLF Wage information that you
need to make your decision.
The information displayed on the screen shows you that Fast Food Crew members (Fast Food
Workers) employed in zip code 55481 have a SLF wage of $4.96.
Therefore the claimant
would not be justified in turning down this job because the wage offer of $5.00 is more than the
SLF wage of $4.96.
Figure 2.24: Example 3 Query Output
However, if the claimant makes an issue of the shift and work hours for this job offer, then
he/she would be justified in turning down the job. Note on the Similar Jobs screen above that
Fast Food Workers in zip code 54481, represent only 8.99% of the rotating shift, part-time jobs
and only 24.18% of part-time (30 hours per week) jobs in the workforce.

Review Similar Job Data
COED will determine what the expected commute is for the job offer. The expectation of
commute time for a job offer depends upon the wage offered. Since the job offer in this query
is for a low paying position, the commute distance and time expected is lower than the normal
commute in the area.
To access the commuting distance information, select the Commute and Calc commuting
distance... menu options. Selecting these options will open the Commuting Distance
screen.
In this example query, the commuting information is based on the claimant’s home zip code:
53711. The system defines this area as a Super Urban - 2nd Highest Density population
commute. Other pieces of information provided are the mean travel distance (11.52) with a
standard deviation of travel distance (1.64) for zip code 53711.
Note: For the purpose of answering this query, the most important information contained on
this screen is the Commuting Distance calculated by COED (13.16).
Query Results:
The system calculations show that based on the $7.15 wage offered for a custodian
(Cleaner/Custodian) job located in zip code 53704, the claimant would be expected to commute
13.55 miles to work. Because the claimant lives 8.2 miles away from the job site, he/she is not
justified in refusing the job offer.
