Human Resource New Hire Reporting in Minnesota

December 14th, 2006 Posted by Mark

Human resource directors in Minnesota, employers of small companies—be prepared to report your new hires. Anyone who has been in the business of managing and hiring people probably is used to having to deal with the Minnesota state labor law that requires all employers to report information on all of your new hires.

But when it comes to new employers, or people new to the human resource function of a company, perhaps they do not know what they are in for. And I am not saying that what you are in for is a boat load of trouble. On the contrary, the Minnesota state labor laws on new hire reporting, as are most states, are pretty flexible on how you have report. The only thing that isn’t flexible is that you do have to report.

So how can new employers get over the so called hump and be prepared for all of their new hire requirements. First, the key to being prepared is to be organized. The first thing perhaps you need to do is set up an employee file system, so you can keep track of your forms that your give and have signed by all new employees.

These can include the compensation summary form, the direct deposit form, the employment application of course, the referral form, the substance testing consent form, the receipt of employee handbook, and basically any other form that you would give to an employee on their first day or two of hiring.

All of these forms will have the required information that you need to report to the state for the new hire labor law. You need the info ready to go, because you have 20 days from the employee’s first day of work to report the new hire info to the state of Minnesota.
