Self-identification and Employee Self Service

Anonymous - November 16, 2018
Back to Ask the Experts

We are looking at turning on our employee self-service which would allow employees access to their personal data and potentially to update their personal information (address, SS#, DOB, etc.). One of the screens includes fields for veteran, race, gender and disability status. I know that the OFFCP has set explicit requirements around using the OMB established form or adhering to the font, size and text specifications, but didn’t know how this impacts HRIS systems. Are we required to offer that form electronically or hard copy anytime an employee wishes to self-identify? If that is the case, I would imagine these fields would need to be hidden from view. We have a hard time getting employees to self-identify. It would be nice to offer them the option to go in and update their information without having to go through HR.
