When you hire a new employee, their information must be reported to the appropriate state agency. Atto Payroll helps streamline this process to ensure compliance with state regulations.
How Atto Reports New Hires
Depending on your state’s requirements, Atto submits new hire reports using one of the following methods:
File Transfer: In supported states, we submit reports electronically for faster and more accurate processing.
Online Entry: In some cases, we manually enter new hire details into the state’s online portal to ensure compliance.
Fax Submission: If required by the state, we complete and fax the necessary forms directly to the appropriate agency.
Reporting Deadlines
Most states require new hire reporting within 20 days of the employee’s start date. Our system adjusts to meet your state’s specific timeline.
Why New Hire Reporting Matters
New hire data is shared with government agencies for important compliance purposes:
Child Support Garnishments – Ensures proper enforcement of child support orders.
Salary Garnishment Verification – Checks for active tax liens or court-mandated deductions.
Unemployment Benefits – Assists in verifying eligibility for unemployment claims.
Worker’s Compensation Reviews – Helps state agencies validate claims and work history.
Employers are legally responsible for reporting newly hired employees. With Atto, this process is automated and simplified — helping you stay compliant without the extra administrative burden.
