New Hire Reporting: What is Required?

Adding a new team member is much more than just filling an open position. Aside from the training and onboarding that comes with a new hire, you also need to report their employment to the designated state agency for which you reside. Failure to do so is a direct violation of The New Hire Reporting Program which was mandated by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. New hire reporting information can be used for a number of different reasons, the most common being the collection of child support, reveal fraud in unemployment compensation, workers’ compensation and welfare programs.
