How soon after hiring must new employees be reported in Virginia?

In Virginia, employers are required to report newly hired or rehired employees within 20 calendar days of their first day of work.

Key points:

• The 20-day period applies to all employees, regardless of full-time or part-time status.

• Timely reporting helps the state enforce child support obligations and maintain accurate employment records.

• Employers can submit reports electronically, by mail, or by fax to the Virginia New Hire Reporting Center.

Submitting new hire reports promptly ensures compliance and avoids potential penalties.
