Happy New Year from the Tennessee New Hire Reporting Program!
If this year has taught us anything, it is to take nothing for granted and to be grateful for the things that matter most, like our health, families, employees, clients, and partners. Tennessee New Hire Reporting Program like to express its gratitude for your partnership as we plan for a brand-new year filled with hopes of company growth, expansion, and ultimately, additional opportunities for hiring.
The Tennessee New Hire Reporting Program would like to remind all employers to report their new hires and rehires within 20 days of their hire date whether they are full-time, part-time, or temporary workers. Employers who submit reports electronically must report their new hires in two monthly transmissions no more than twelve (12) to sixteen (16) days apart.
With the Covid-19 pandemic ongoing, we continue to adapt our processes and implement additional preventative measures to ensure the safety of our employees and to support the continued operations of the Tennessee New Hire Reporting Program.
We encourage all employers to register for online access to report their New Hires electronically. Electronic reporting is the most secure method of transmitting data, allows for faster processing, and saves on postage and other costs. Additionally, employers can receive printable confirmations of all new hires reported electronically. Section 453A(a)(2) of the Social Security Act defines a newly hired employee as an employee who (i) has not previously been employed by the employer; or (ii) was previously employed by the employer but has been separated from such prior employment for at least 60 consecutive days.
Temporary agencies are mandated to report their workers who sign a W-4 form and report to an assignment. Workers only need to be reported once, and they do not need to be reported each time they are placed with a new client. If the worker has a break in service from your agency and a new W-4 form is required, then a new hire report would be necessary.
