Hey, future employers in Texas: We`ve put together what you need to make your first hire efficiently (and legally). Employers do not file Form I-9, but must keep the form three years after the date of hiring or one year after the employee`s dismissal, whichever is later. New information on acquisitions is required by the Law on the Coordination of Personnel Responsibilities and Employment Opportunities (PRWORA). This information is recorded in the state`s New Hires Directory and the National New Hires Directory (NDNH) and compared to federal and state child support databases to find parents who owe child support. Make it as easy as possible for your new employees to sign up for your benefits program. Provide them with plan summaries and registration instructions in advance, and determine who they can contact (if not) to answer their performance questions. (For more information on reporting new employees in Texas, see the Texas New Hire Reporting Laws.) If you have other policies that are not documented in your manual, have new employees reviewed and approved from day one. For example, if you have a separate Internet usage or sales commission policy, attach it to your new hiring documents. Here are some tips for creating a consistent onboarding experience, both for themselves and for your new employees. Use this reporting guide for new government employees on the OCSE federal website. A multi-state employer registry is also available, which allows an employer to report all of its newly hired employees in any state where it has employees. Information received from employers about new employees is recorded in a national registry and then forwarded to the National New Hires Directory.

The Child Support Division of the Attorney General`s Office is the designated agency for reporting new employees in Texas. The new forms of hiring fall into two main categories: federal and state forms, which are required by law, and standard hiring forms, which are specific to your company`s human resources department. Together, these forms form our checklist for new hiring forms: Below are forms that are not required by any board of directors, but are important for the successful integration of new employees into your company. When imagining your new employee`s first day, think beyond the paperwork when creating their experience: Part 1: Preparing to Hire Your First Texas Employee All newly hired or rehired employees who live or work in a state should be reported. A good rule of thumb is that if the employee needs to fill out a Form W-4, that employee must be reported. The interview and hiring process could fill a book on its own, so we simply offer this advice: If you`ve found a qualified candidate for the job and are considering hiring, ask yourself if this is someone you`d like to be with. (They will spend a lot of time together.) A candidate tracking system like CareerPlug helps you create a consistent onboarding experience for new employees.

Checklists are powerful yet simple tools for effectively accomplishing complex tasks. There`s even an entire book called “The Checklist Manifesto” by Atul Gawunde, who, during a research study, introduced checklists in hospitals that reduced patient deaths by 47%. While we`re not talking about life and death, a positive experience with new employees will help you retain employees in the long run and avoid costly turnover. An important provision of PRWORA requires that certain information about new employees be reported so that state authorities can effectively enforce child support. Where to send this information, the time frame, and any additional reporting requirements will vary by state. Retention: Health and benefit forms must be retained for three years after termination of employment. Remember when I said that integration should not be as dry as all those compliance forms? It really shouldn`t! It`s one thing to have handy resources (like this one) to check if you know the forms you need after you create a parameter, and it`s another to create a process so you don`t have to repeat your work for each new parameter. There are a few new hiring forms that all U.S. employers must ask their employees to complete early in their onboarding process. You must inform your state government that you have rehired to comply with the Reconciliation of Personal Responsibilities and Work Opportunities Act of 1996 (PRWORA). . .
