Field Settings
The bottom of the page lists fields which can be displayed on this page and on the Online Application. Enter a caption for a field to include it on the page. Check the box to make it required on the page. The captions are only for the applicant experience. The field captions do not extend to the user view of the information or the printable view of the information.
Even though the information on this page is voluntary information, it is recommended that if there is an drop-down option that it be a required field. The viewer can select the option 'Info Withheld' to signify the option was given to provide the information.
When the applicant answers this question if he/she is Hispanic, the standard field for ethnic origin will not be active and cannot be changed. In the background, the field for Ethnic will be completed with the code assigned to that ethnic origin based on the code setup.
As of March 24, 2014 it is legal to ask if a person is in a Protected Veterans during the application process. If using this field, it is recommended that a link to the definition of the Protected Veterans status be provided (http://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/compliance/factsheets/vetrights.htm#Q2) OR the definitions be included on the instructions section of the page.
As of March 2018, many states are allowing for a value of 'Gender X'. This has been added to the software for all states, even if not approved, for reporting purposes. if your state does not recognize this status, you can change the value on the setup page to another definition. Not all HR systems allow for this option, so mapping this value to other system has not been done.
