# Employee relations allegation types and subtypes

Allegation types and subtypes help you further define an employee relations case.

An allegation is a high-level category and allegation subtype provide more details about the allegation. For example, **Allegation** can be **Fraud and Theft** and **Allegation Subtype** can be **Forgery**. Allegation types and subtypes are attached to an HR Service Delivery ER case and are the foundation for the case.

The base system provides allegation types and subtypes that you can use immediately.
