New Hire Reporting Requirements by State: New 50-State Chart Added

XpertHR has added a helpful new 50-State Chart to its payroll resources, New Hire Reporting Requirements by State.

Both federal and state law require all employers to report certain information regarding newly hired and rehired/recalled employees (and in some states independent contractors) to designated state agencies within a certain time period after they start working for the employer. Federal law provides the minimum standards that state new hire reporting programs must meet. However, many states have additional or tougher reporting requirements than the federal standards with which all employers must comply.

This chart details both the federal standards and the requirements that apply in each state and the District of Columbia, including:

• Who must be reported;
• The data that must be reported for each new hire or rehired/recalled employee;
• The time period within which reports must be submitted;
• The methods that may be used to file reports (i.e., electronically, magnetic media or paper forms); and
• Where the reports must be submitted.

This chart also provides the additional reporting and registration requirements that apply to multistate employers - those that hire and employ workers in two or more states.
