Wisconsin New Hire Reporting

A program requiring employers to report newly hired employees.

Federal and state law requires all Wisconsin employers and labor organizations with a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) to report to the State Directory of New Hires within 20 days:

  • Each newly hired employee.
  • Employees who are rehired, recalled, or returning to work after an unpaid interval of more than 60 days (including individuals who remain on the payroll during the separation).
