IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read the following before filling out the workbook:

• While some questions will require answers at the location level (i.e., each establishment), other questions will allow you to answer at the industry level (i.e., NAICS classification).

• This may be a time saving option for companies who:

• have multiple locations

• have records that allow for ‘rolling’ up to the industry level

• Industry level reporting is at the bottom of the spreadsheet – scroll down to respond by industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which questions offer this choice?

• Questions are color coded

PLEASE NOTE:
Colors indicate if a cell is a question, or if a response is required at that level, optional at that level, or not applicable.
	Blue cells represent question text.
	White cells represent required answer at that level.
	Yellow cells represent optional answer at that level.
	Gray cells represent not applicable answers.

How do I know what my industries are?

• Your establishments have already been pre-grouped into industries. The exact row you can find the industry grouping in will change based on how many locations you have but will be at the bottom half of the spreadsheet and will be labeled, “By Industry”. Note that you can refer to each establishment’s industry in column J ‘NAICS’
