Ethnicity (Singapore)

Before You Begin: This feature is shown only for pay groups for Singapore and the United States. The information in this topic is for Singapore employees. For employees in the United States, see Ethnicity (US).

Access and configuration:  

  • Role feature access: Application Container > People > Employee Profile > Personal > Confidential Information > Ethnicity
  • Role authorization access: Employee Profile - Confidential Information - Ethnicity (Can Read, Can Write)

You can view and manage ethnicity information in the Ethnicity section of the Personal > Confidential Information screen of the People feature. For each ethnicity record, the Identification Type column indicates whether the record is based on self-identification by the employee or sight identification by the employer, also called visual identification.

For Singapore employees, only sight identification is used. Employees can complete the Tax Definition for Singapore form in self-service to assign their own ethnicity, but it will be associated with the sight identification type.

You can add ethnicity records that are based on sight identification directly in the Ethnicity screen of People. These records display Sight Identified in the Identification Type column. This column isn’t editable. See Add Sight-Identified Ethnicity (US).
