  1. WAGNER-PEYSER BASICS

  2. REGISTRATIONS • It is necessary to the extent possible, that all job seekers that are authorized to work in the United States be registered in the W-P reporting system. Job seekers may be registered upon contacting the labor exchange through the One-Stop delivery system or as required by State law or policy. However, job seekers receiving staff-assisted-services funded under the Wagner-Peyser Act must be registered in the Wagner-Peyser reporting system. Job seekers who use self-services or facilitated self-help services also may be registered, but this is not required.

  3. JOB ORDERS • State policy dictates that all job orders and openings are to be listed in the Wagner-Peyser reporting system and therefore reported to USDOL. AWI FG 03-035-March 4, 2003 Wagner-Peyser ((W-P) Job seeker Registration and Employer Services Procedures.

  13. Placement Definition • Appropriately recorded the placement. When a job placement (hire) is entered into the W-P Reporting System, the job order Notes Screen or Comments should be documented with the date the job seeker started work and the source of verification, i.e., Started work 12/12/03 as verified by M.

Job Development • If staff later learn that a job seeker was hired on a job to which a job development referral was made, staff should write a job order and take placement credit. • View services in the W-P reporting system to ensure that the job development referral was entered timely and properly documented in the “Applicant Service Screen”. Once a match is determined, a job order should be written.
