New Hire Reporting

In Oregon, you are required to report new hires to the Oregon Department of Justice Division of Child Support. 

Oregon law requires employers to report within 20 days all new hires and re-hires, including temporary staff, to the Division of Child Support of the Oregon Department of Justice. Employers must report the first day of work for each new hire.

  • Contact Information for the business and the payroll contact

  • Status of health insurance availability

• Employee:
