Electronic Reporting
Reporting new hires electronically benefits employers in a number of ways:
- Saves on paper, processing time, and postage;
- Reduces the likelihood of errors;
- Helps to avoid rejected records because of unreadable or missing information;
- Qualifies Multistate employers for "Multistate"
new hire reporting; and
- Allows employers with many work sites to centralize their new hire reporting.
There are two ways employers can report electronically:
- Online Reporting: Employers can use our Web site to report their
new hires online. Confirmations of reports received are provided each time an employer
reports using this feature. Click here to register
for online reporting.
- Electronic Reporting: Employers can export their new hire information
from their payroll or human resources software into a file that meets our layout
specifications. Most software manufacturers provide technical support, and some
software manufacturers have recently added electronic new hire reporting options
to their latest upgrades.
Please contact your payroll or human resources software manufacturers for electronic
new hire reporting availability, or click here
for our file submission layout to create your own file. You will only need
our file submission layout if you find that your HR or Payroll software is not already
set up to automatically create electronic new hire reports.
Payroll companies also provide employers with automatic electronic new hire reporting
as an extra service. If you have questions regarding this service, please contact
your payroll service company directly.
