Reporting Your New Hire: Two Paths to Reporting Glory
There are actually a few ways to report your new hire, so you can choose the method that best suits your inner data warrior.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
Channel Your Inner Superhero Online: The Georgia New Hire Reporting Center website (https://ga-newhire.com/) is your friend. You can create an account and submit the information electronically. Think of it as reporting with the click of a mouse – very Batman-esque.
More of an Analog Avenger? Fear not, traditional methods are still available. You can fill out a paper form (obtained from the website or maybe lurking around your HR department) and mail it in, or fax it if you're feeling particularly old school. Just remember, with great fax power comes great responsibility to ensure it gets sent!
Important Note: You must report your new hire within 10 days of their start date. Don't be a villain by missing the deadline!
What Info Do They Need Anyway?
The Georgia New Hire Reporting Center just needs some basic information about your new hero-in-training, such as:
- Their name (real name, not superhero alias)
- Social security number
- Date of birth
- Your company's Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN)
Super Important: Make sure you have your new hire's written consent to submit this information.
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
