How to Report New Hires
Employers may report new employees to the New Hire Reporting Center by any of the following methods, whichever is the easiest and most convenient:
If an employer has employees in more than one state, that employer may choose multistate reporting to report all New Hires to one of those states and register as an employer. Otherwise each employee must be reported to the state in which he or she works.
Before you can submit information on newly hired or rehired employees through this site, you must complete the registration process. By registering, you provide the information we will need to contact you regarding the data you submit.
There are two methods of reporting through this site:
- Online Form - We suggest small employers (i.e., those reporting fewer than 20 new employees per session) and those reporting for a small number of employers (i.e., fewer than five different employers) use this method.
- File Transfer - We suggest only large employers and those reporting for a large number of different employers use this method. Usually, this method requires a great deal of technical knowledge and may prove to be too time consuming for smaller employers.
