Deferred task just for one organization

Question

Hi,
Is there a way to configure deferred task to run on just one organization? We need to have a deferred task for contractors to notify the manager about the upcoming expiry date etc., Since the number of contractors are usually a small number, it would be much more efficient if we can let the scanner scan users objects just in contractor organization.
Does anybody know what exactly the deferred task scanner does to find out that there is a task that needs to be executed. Does it go fetch the entire user object and then parse the user object xml for the list of tasks? Or does it do something more efficient?
Just want to know some internal works to just get an idea of how efficient or inefficient the whole process is.
Thanks

I actually run through all records with this
<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='removeDeferredTask'/>
<Argument name='type' value='User'/>
<Argument name='name' value='$(employeeid)'/>
<Argument name='task' value='SD_WFP_DailyTerminateUserProcess'/>
</Action>
<Action id='1' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
<Argument name='op' value='removeDeferredTask'/>
<Argument name='type' value='User'/>
<Argument name='name' value='$(employeeid)'/>
<Argument name='task' value='SD_TerminateProcess'/>
</Action>
<Action id='2' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
<Condition>
<notnull>
<ref>termdate</ref>
</notnull>
</Condition>
<Argument name='op' value='addDeferredTask'/>
<Argument name='type' value='User'/>
<Argument name='name' value='$(employeeid)'/>
<Argument name='task' value='SD_TerminateProcess'/>
<Argument name='date' value='$(termdate)'/>
</Action>
I thought this will delete all old tasks (SD_WFP_DailyTerminateUserProcess) and re-assign the new one (SD_TerminateProcess). But today I still see 'SD_WFP_DailyTerminateUserProcess' running. Is there a way to find all DeferredTask assignments, to make sure that SD_WFP_DailyTerminateUserProcess tasks have been removed and SD_TerminateProcess assigned?
I can query database if needed. I need to figure this out asap, this is a production server. thanks
