For further info, see the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website.

To run this process:

  1. From My Client Groups, click Payroll.

  2. Click Submit a Flow.

  3. Select your US legislative data group (LDG).

  4. Search for and select EEO-4 State and Local Government Report.

Before You Start

Before you can generate reports, you must define the following.

  1. Configure your legal employers.

    1. Start the Legal Entity HCM Information task from your implementation project, and open your legal entity for editing.

    2. In Legal Employer, click Federal.

    3. In New Hire Reporting Rules, select a TRU.

      If you leave this value blank, the report won't include results for that legal employer.

    4. In EEO Reporting Information, set these values.

      Field label

      What you enter

      Control Number

      Your jurisdiction's control number as provided by the EEO-4 Reporting Center.

      Type of Government

      Select the level of government your organization represents.

      Jurisdiction Name

      If you select Other as your government type, specify your jurisdiction name, as per EEOC guidelines.
      Note: Don't prefix this name with The.

      Jurisdiction Location

      If you select Other as your government type, select a location associated with your jurisdiction.

      Use the Locations task to create it if it doesn't already exist.

    5. In United States Reporting Entity Data, define your legal employer as either a parent or child.

      If it's a child, pick its proxy legal employer.

    6. Click Submit.

  2. Configure your jobs.

    1. Start the Jobs task from your implementation project.

    2. Search for and select the job definition for editing.

    3. In United States Job Information, set the appropriate EEO-4 category and function.

    4. Click Submit.

  3. Use the Manage Legal Reporting Unit Registrations task to verify the federal employer identification number (EIN) is set up for United States Federal tax.

  4. Make sure your employee definitions have the required info.

    To be included in the report, they must have:

    • Have a job with an EEO-4 category and function

      If an employee has multiple jobs under different federal EINs, the report uses the job associated with their primary assignment.

    • Have an active assignment

    • Have regular full-time assignment category

    • Appropriate ethnicity data

      Tip: If an employee selects Hispanic or Latino and one or more race, the process reports them on the EEO-4 as "Hispanic or Latino". If an employee doesn't select Hispanic or Latino, but selects multiple races, it reports them on the EEO-4 as "Two or more races".
  5. Run the Load Hours and Earnings Data for Reporting process.

    Select the EEO4 report type and the current year as the submission year.

    For further info, see Load Hours and Earnings Data for Reporting for the US in the Help Center.
