New Hire Reporting

In North Carolina, you are required to report new hires to the Division of Social Services State Directory of New Hires. 

All employers are required to report newly hired and re-hired employees to a state directory within 20 days of their hire date. Employers are required to report the following employees: new employees, re-hires (or re-called employees), temporary employees. 

Re-hires or Re-called employees: Employers must report re-hires, or employees who return to work 60 days after being laid off, Furloughed, separated, granted a leave without pay, or terminated from employment. Employers must also report any employee who remains on the payroll during a break in service or gap in pay, and then returns to work after 60 days. This includes teachers, seasonal workers, etc.
