2005 California Unemployment Insurance Code Sections 12130-12131 CHAPTER 4. PROGRAM EVALUATION

12130.  The department shall competitively contract with
organizations competent in the field of program evaluation for the
evaluation of the program established by this division.  Pursuant to
procedures and guidelines adopted by the department, such contractors
shall monitor the progress and performance of each program to
determine the effectiveness of such programs pursuant to the criteria
established by Section 12131.
12131.  Each program for which a grant has been awarded shall be
evaluated periodically to determine:
   (a) The cost to government of creating jobs in the manner
prescribed by this division.  Such evaluation shall determine and
distinguish between costs incurred in averting an increase in the
participating employers' unit labor costs, the cost of providing
technical assistance, and other costs of administering the program.
   (b) The comparison of such costs with the costs of creating jobs
through other government assisted programs, such as the Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act (29 U.S.C.A. 801 et. seq.) and Work
Incentive Programs authorized by Division 2 (commencing with Section
5000) of this code.
   (c) The comparison of such costs with the costs of providing
public assistance and similar services to households in which the
employable wage earner is unemployed, including, but not limited to,
a comparison of tax collections from employed individuals versus
direct and indirect expenditures from tax revenues on behalf of such
persons.
   (d) The benefits to employers such as productivity improvements
attributable to the program resulting from, among other things,
improved morale, reduced personnel turnover, and a larger trained
reserve work force.
   (e) The benefits to participating employees which shall include a
survey of the employees' expectations and experience.
   (f) Broad social and economic benefits, if any, that may
reasonably be projected from a potential expansion of the concept to
a larger segment of the labor market.
   (g) To the extent possible, what kinds of employers and employees
are most likely to participate, and why, including an evaluation of
the effectiveness of incentives to participation as outlined in
subdivision (e) of Section 12111.
