What is a New hire report?

The new hire report contains information about newly hired or rehired employees. Hiring employers should report the employee's basic information to the state within 20 days of hiring them. Each state has a different new hire report, but every employer must report the new hire. This information enforces child support, calculates SUTA, determines employee termination rates, and prevents unemployment fraud.

Failing to report new hires may lead to basic penalties of $25 and increases up to $500  for conspiracy with an employee.
