July 31st, 2007 Posted by Sarah

HR professionals or owners are faced with my conflicting HR questions or situations everyday and how to solve the issues can vary depending on who you ask.  Many business owners or HR professionals often ponder the same question, “Is there an agency or source where I can go to get guidance or assistance on these HR issues?”.  Well now there is a solution!  www.HumanResourceBlog.com is now available for any HR professional to come and share their thoughts, questions, or issues and to openly discuss the situation or issue at hand.  Where else would you be able to go to find a community or center that has professionals sharing your same common problems and also having suggestions for you to possibly consider.  Like they say, two brains is better than one.  In this particular case, it’s two professionals better than one! 

www.HumanResourceBlog.com has a goal to build a community strictly for HR professionals all across the states to be able to post and receive answers from actual professionals in the same situation or have the knowledge to possibly guide you to answer.  State laws vary from state to state.  If your organization operates in multi-states, this is the place for you.  www.HumanResourceBlog.com does not limit the answer to any particular state or topic.  It does not have boundaries and/or limitations in the state the question is deriving from.  If you are seeking an answer to your HR question, www.HumanResourceblog.com will be the solution!

Answers are posted daily from Real HR experts that are emailed the questions instantly.  There is no automation to the postings of answers.  The website is strictly for owners, HR professionals, supervisors  and managers to post their HR related issues, questions, or concerns.  Post your questions today! The web site is not intended for employees to post employee related questions. 

Come join and lets build an HR Community together.

Hope to see you there!

Human Resource New Hire Reporting in Iowa

December 13th, 2006 Posted by Mark

In the state of Iowa, employers have 15 days from the hire date of the employee to report them as new hires to the state Centralized Employee Registry. This massive computer databases holds information on all the new hires and re-hires in the entire state of Iowa, for both employers and contractors.

If employers are reporting their new hire data to the state Centralized Employee Registry through the use of magnetic tape or through the Internet, then you can send them in lump groups. But the transmissions can’t be more than 16 days apart, as well as not closer than 12 days apart.

When it comes to contractors, as I said, the 15 day window applies under the Iowa labor law. But two conditions have to be met before contractors have to be reported on, and have to do the reporting, to the Centralized Employee Registry. Those two conditions are, one, that the contractor’s payment occurs more than once a year as per the contract between you and the contractor; and, two, that the single payment from this contract has to be more than $600, which is the minimum sum that can be reported on a 1099-MISC tax filing.

The contractor has to also be 18 years of age to count under this labor law, they must perform their particular form of labor in the state of Iowa, must not already be paying child support through your payroll, who is filing income tax statements to the federal government using a 1099-MISC, and who is on their own working as an individual, not as a company, partnership, LLC, etc.

Once you work with a contractor, they meet these above requirements, you report them as a “new hire,” then you never have to go through the process again when you work with them a second, third, fourth time.
