Are You Reporting Newly Hired And Re-hired Employees?
Jason B. Thompson
Georgia law (O.C.G.A. ยง 19-11-9.2) requires all employers to report each new and re-hired employee to the State New Hire Reporting Center. This information is provided to the National Directory of New Hire, which is a directory containing new hire data between states. One purpose is to match unemployment insurance claims data with other governmental databases and to detect fraudulent unemployment insurance claims. The New Hire directory also helps track down employed parents that are not paying child support.
The following information is necessary to report a newly hired or re-hired employee:
- Employee name,
- Employee address,
- Employee date and state of hire,
- Employee social security number,
- Employee date of birth,
- Employee medical insurance availability,
- Your company name,
- Company address, and
- Federal employer ID number.
