Ethnic Group: The Ethnic Group item is assigned to an employee on the Employee Information page under the Employee Information tab. Some examples of Ethnic Group types are listed below.

This item is used as a filter on the Payroll Processing page and on the following reports: Employee Earnings, Employee Inquiry, Time Off Hours, Employee Information, and Employee Labels. It is also used as a sort order on the the W2s report and as a way to manage time-off requests. Some examples of Home Department types are listed below.
