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 Utah

December 16th, 2006 Posted by Mark

In 1997, the Utah Legislature passed the New Hire Legislation, under Chapter 7, Section 35A-7-101 of the state law code. This chapter has the title “Centralized New Hire Registry Act,” and covers all of the labor laws requiring employers to report their new hires to the state of Utah, who them pass along the info to the federal new hire officials.

The Utah Department of Workforce Services is the department in charge of the whole process in the state, so all of your new hire reports and questions should go to them. (Or me, of course!)

The way it works in Utah, and in most states that we have looked at so far, is that employers transmit the reports on each and every one of their new hires and re-hires to the Utah Department of Workforce Services. The state then uses that list to compare it with the state child support records. That way, any violator of the child support rules in the state of Utah will come up as a match.

The Utah Department of Workforce Services then passes along its list of new hires to the National Directory of New Hires, who has a database of new hires for every state in the country. The officials at the National Directory of New Hires can then see if there is a delinquent parent in Utah or hasn’t paid child support payments for a child in, say, Pennsylvania.

The process can also catch employees in Utah who are receiving state welfare aid even though they are now working and are not entitled to such aid. Take Medicaid, Food Stamps, Workers’ Comp, Unemployment Benefits, Disability, and other social welfare aid. If an employee is receiving that while they are working for, the state will catch it thanks to the new hire reporting system.
