What is New Hire Reporting? I just hired a housekeeper to assist my husband and I around the house and with shopping.
Effective January 1998, Federal welfare reform legislation (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996) requires all employers to report information on all newly hired workers within a specified period, generally 2 weeks, or incur a penalty. Each state has designated an agency responsible for the collection of data and enforcement of the requirement. These laws are intended to expedite enforcement of child support orders.
Recent Federal proposals intended to help crack down on the employment of ineligible (illegal) immigrants include provisions for further checks on the work eligibility of the newly hired worker. Employers who do not comply with these checks may face sanctions, both civil and criminal. HomeWork Solutions will continue to monitor any changes in reporting requirements as they occur.
