Ethnicity types for US customers

Every US employer must submit an annual Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) summary report to the federal government. This report includes the number of employees in each ethnicity type that you report on. These categories were established during initial setup for your organization by following federal guidelines. As an administrator, you are probably not required to edit the list often.

You can add a new ethnicity type. See Creating resource-component ethnicity options.

Your report can include these special-processing categories: Hispanic, Multiple, Nonresident Alien, and Unknown. These categories act as aliases that are more relatable options to employees. For example, if configured, the employee can self-identify with up to 10 ethnicities and then report that diverse self-identification with the Multiple option in the federal report. (To follow this example, set up a Multiple ethnicity type and associate it with the Multiple Races special processing code.)
