Human Resource New Hire Reporting in Missouri

December 14th, 2006 Posted by Mark

As I was saying, such is even the case of Missouri, and Missouri and Mississippi don’t even touch as states on the map! But the common ground here is the federal labor law that encouraged all of the individual states to follow suit and say: Report your new hires to us or face some consequences.

In Missouri though, the Department of Revenue—the agency in charge of new hire reporting in the state—allows employers to have 20 days to report their new hires. Those 20 days start from the time that the employee has their first day, or the day that they sign their W-4 form, whichever comes first.

In Missouri, they are flexible too when it comes to how you can report your new hire info. You can either send in a copy of that W-4 form, or you can create your own new hire form or use one from a trusty human resource product provider.

Either way, the form you use must have the employee’s name, address, and Social Security number on it. It must also have your name of your company, its address, and its federal employer identification code. On top of this, it should be on the form what day the employee started, or what day they signed their W-4 form (again, whichever comes first.)

You can mail these forms in to the Missouri Department of Revenue at their office in Jefferson City, Missouri, or you can fax a copy of the form in to their office. It is also possible to send in an electronic copy to the Revenue Department on a special cartridge that you have to get from the Department of Revenue.

It’s your choice, employers, in the state of Missouri, when it comes to how and on what form you send in your new hire reports.
