What New Hire Reporting Requires

New hire reports are used mainly to locate parents who owe child support and to help prevent improper unemployment and benefit payments. Employers report basic information, typically the employee’s name, address, Social Security number and hire date, plus the employer’s name, address and federal EIN.

Rehired employees generally must be reported too, usually after a separation of 60 days or more. Check the Nevada program’s current instructions for accepted methods.
