Steps: Set Up Self-Identification of Ethnicity and Race (SF-181)

Steps: Set Up Self-Identification of Ethnicity and Race (SF-181)

Configure the
Ethnicity and Race Self-Identification
business process and security policy in the Personal Data functional area.
Federal agencies must present the Self-Identification of Ethnicity and Race (SF-181) form to an employee during onboarding for voluntary self-identification. Workday enables you to complete this form through employee self-service, manager self-service, and as a subprocess of the
Onboarding
business process. You can also upload externally collected self-identification of ethnicity and race information from a spreadsheet using Enterprise Interface Builder.
Workday doesn't assume responsibility for your compliance with regulatory reporting requirements.
  1. Edit Business Processes.
    Edit the
    Onboarding
    business process definition to add a
    Change My Self-Identification of Ethnicity and Race
    action.
  2. Do 1 or both of:
    • As a worker, access the employee self-service
      Change My Self-Identification of Ethnicity and Race (SF-181)
      task from the Personal Data profile group on your profile.
      Security:
      Self Service: Self-Identification of Ethnicity and Race - US Federal
      in the Personal Data functional area.
    • On a worker's behalf, access the
      Change Self-Identification of Ethnicity and Race (SF-181)
      task from the Personal Data profile group on the worker's profile.
      Security:
      Worker Data: Self-Identification of Ethnicity and Race - US Federal
You can generate a printable version of the form using the
Print Ethnicity and Race Self-Identification Form (SF-181)
task.
You can access the:
  • View Ethnicity and Race Self-Identification Form for Worker (SF-181)
    report to retrieve the SF-181 forms for a worker.
  • View My Ethnicity and Race Self-Identification Form (SF-181)
    report, which enables workers to view personal ethnicity and race information.
These reports only display data collected in Workday.
