As an employer, you and your hiring managers know the extensive process of hiring new employees.  New Hire reporting is a process by which an employer reports information on newly hired employees to a designated state agency following the date of hire. As an employer, you play a key role in this important program by reporting all your newly hired employees to your state. It is important to ensure that either you or your payroll provider is performing this task each time you hire a new employee.  State agencies operating employment security, child support enforcement and workers’ compensation programs have access to the state New Hire information to enforce the laws and detect and prevent erroneous benefit payments.
