New Hire Reporting

Question: Colorado New Hire Report database access? I am a custodial parent with a current court order for child support. Do you know if there is any way for me to gain access to the Colorado New Hire Reporting database? I do not have an FSR account and I have not applied for help collecting child support from anyone because I can serve his employer and collect wage garnishments myself, faster and easier then the agencies can. I don't have a whole stack of cases. My only dilemma is finding out who his employer is. I know the agencies have a database called "Colorado New Hire Report" where employers are legally obligated to report all new employees within 20 days of their start date. How can I gain access to that database??

Answer: You can't. It is for government use only.

Question: When a company hires a 1099 employee on commission only - when does the co. report the new hire to the gov? In other words... If a company is hiring an indipendent contractor, at what point does the company report the hire to the gov? Or......... does the company only report the hire once the first commision is made?

Answer: They never report as a new hire since you are not one. The 1099 is done at the end of the year and sent to the government. You should receive your copy in January. If you are on UI or do not want the feds to know you are making money, they will not know, however if the 1099 shows an amount that is very high and could not be made within the time period you would be allowed to earn money ( after benefits expire) then that would put up a red flag to the IRS and well as UI.

Question: What exactly is a New Hire History Report? I got one from my local DHS, and I don't understand it.? I was given a New Hire History Report and I do not understand why this company has said they hired me yesterday (3-5-07) and I was never contacted or anything. What exactly is the New Hire History Report and why are some jobs that I have had on there and not others??

Answer: Social Service agencies use new hire reports to try and determine if and where a person has worked. This helps when trying to verify income to determine eligibility for benefits, evaluate employability, etc... Basically a new hire gets on your report when an employer reports to the State that someone with your social security number has been hired. Not all employers report their new hires to the State, which is why some jobs you've had are not on the report. Did you actually apply for a job with the company who claims to have hired you on 3/5? Often companies will add an applicant to their payroll system before they contact the employee-I'm not sure why, but they do. If this is a job you've never applied for it's time to get worried because someone could be using your social security number illegally. If this is the case contact the police immediately.

Question: Can I sue an employer for unpaid child support if they failed to report a new hire? I have been trying to enforce child support on my ex who has gotten really good at moving around to avoid it. I know all employers are required to report newly hired employees to the new hire database within 20 days so they can check for unpaid child support and get garnishment started. It has been a year since any of my ex's employers have reported. Since most employers have recently had to file end of year tax forms, I just found out about 3 employers that he had during 2007 in California (he quit all of them already). None of them reported to new hire. I did some research and found that the employers violated both state and federal law and will probably be fined about $25 each by the state if I report them, but can I file a lawsuit to make the employers responsible for unpaid child support during the time my ex was employed there? I am out about $6000 for the year due to the employers failure to follow the law. I don't see how a $25 fine will change anything.

Answer: I'm not sure that the employers had any duty to you, or if they had reported your ex you would have actually been able to collect child support from him. You would have to prove both of these things in order to recover, at a minimum. Dana (attorney admitted in Ca.)

Question: How to legally Hire a new employee? I need to hire a new employee, I just want to make sure I am following all the legal procedures that I need to. 1. fill out w-4 (send where?) 2. name and basic info of w-2, and mail the appropriate copies out. 3. Report to a New Employee Registry. Is this everything?

Answer: In the USA, new hire fills out W-4, then keep it in your files. New hire also fills out I-9, then keep it in your files along with proof that I-9 asks for.

Question: Can I report these people for collecting ALL of my info, enrolling me as a new hire, and not give me a job? I applied and interviewed successfully to a job that required alot of documentation as proof of I.D. My H.S. diploma which has a last name discrepancy was OK-ed. Here's where it all goes to hell. The second interview goes fine, the guy liked me, and tells me to go back to the orginal office to get proccessed so I can start the next day. I took a drug test, fingerprints, and 50+ pages of personal information. Furthermore they bring in Chase Bank to get our info to open new accounts for direct deposit, the only other choice was to get a check by mail. As I was leaving the Personnel Manager now has a problem with the name discrepency on my diploma?? She cancels the training I was to recieve the next day because I now had to bring in my college transcripts. Long story short, I've faxed in all the proof I can get my hands on, and the women has cut off ALL correspondance. No info AT ALL. She does'nt answer her phones, and does not return messages. Can I report them to someone? EEO? Thanx Andrew. This is in NYC. Thanx Sam, I'll look into that. All I want is clerification or my info returned or destroyed. I never said they OWED me anything, they purposely sent me waaay to deep into the employment process to all of a sudden cut off communique. If they "owe" me anything it's an "..oh your ugly we dont like you"...or "Oh we forgot we need more proof of your college"...Tis all I ask. anything else feels like some sort of scam or just VERY odd, AND inconvenient might I add. It's set up like a dead end, because it was this manager, that stopped me from being placed because of my Diploma. She's also the same lady that 1st interviewed me. She caused the clog, I've done exactly as she asked to get things fixed, and havent heard from her personally in 2 weeks. There is no letter situation, they were sending me to one of their offices the day following that last interview. She doen't even confirm that she recieved my faxed documents she asked for.

Answer: Well, you appear to have a case. But don't jump the gun, yet...... You seem to have been hired by the first guy, although presumably you had not received your appointment letter. Is the Personnel Manager really who she's supposed to be? If she is, there's no reason why she shouldn't answer your calls and correspondence. Did she officially fire you, i.e. with a formal letter? If she didn't give you a termination letter, then you're still hired. Then again, she could've gone on long vacation and simply forgotten about you. It happens. Another thing.......you can't accuse them of not giving you the job, when you're not certain that that has happened. I guess you could report them for not conducting the hiring process correctly. But they sure ain't gonna want you any more. You need to find out first what's going on. Isn't there anyone else in the company you can speak to? .

Question: How to report a employer? No W4 has been signed, no work comp insurance, no new hire reporting, no breaks (only lunch), OHSA laws violated, and so on.

Answer: The breaks thing is NOT illegal. The rest is. Contact your local workforce commission - you'll find it in the "blue pages" of the phone book. If you can't find it there, call unemployment commission and ask them - they will know. You can also get online with OHSA and send an email at their site.

Question: Can I prevent having my education background checked when I submit to a new-hire background check? i.e. criminal background, drug test, credit report??? I have no problem providing the rest, I'm just very private in people seeing my previous classes and grades...I have nothing to hide I just feel that's private...

Answer: Yes and no. Since there is no central clearinghouse for education like there is for crime, if you don't tell the employer that you did time at a college, they won't know. Alternatively, the employer may require that you provide a complete educational background, so failure to do that may result in no job. On the third hand, under FERPA (family educational rights and privacy act) the college will not release your grades without your specific say so, like requesting a transcript. The fact that you attended, and or got a degree, may be public information - so if they call the college the Registrar's office will only admit that you were a student. To make absolutely sure, call the Registrar where you went, and ask what they will release and won't release.

Question: Does Charter Communications in Michigan comply with the Michigan New Hire Program? Soon to be ex-husband may be getting a job there and he hasn't paid child support for a year, so I'm just wondering if I will need to report it if he gets employment there or if I should leave it up to him and Charter.

Answer: Give him a chance, then step on his nads.

Question: Friend and new hire....who gets the job? I recently hired a friend who works in my department as one of my direct reports. My friend recently lost his job and I recently had a position come available. We have both work in the same industry for several years but with different employers. He was hired because he was qualified for the position that I needed to fill . I knew his caliber of work was strong and he would do a great job. We had worked together in the past as peers, not manager to subordinate, which is the present work dynamic. He's been in the position for over a month now and has done a terrific job. The problem I am experiencing with him is , that because he possesses a management background and has a tendency to boss me and others around. In my case, because of our history, he has an established comfort level with me. However, under the present circumstances, he hasn't adjusted his approach and attitude with me to the level at which respect should be shown, as I have done so in his regard. I know hiring freinds can be a no no, but in light of his qualifications and how well they fit the position, I felt that I hired with the right reasons in mind. My concern is that he has exhibited this behavior in front to others...which I discussed with him...but it continues to happen. At the time I took this position, he was jealous at the fact that I found and landed the job..in a joking manner...(I had lost my previous job due to closure). He was stilled employed and not looking for a job, when I was hired in my present position. Since coming aboard, I have had to speak to him about going through proper chain of command, as he tends to go to my boss or others for answers rather than coming to me. Additionally, he shares info with my boss that has not even been presented to me until after the fact. He is taking his lead from one of existing associates, that is good friends with my boss and does exactly the same as my new hire. I definitely believe he thinks he could do my job better than I and does undermine me along with the other associate that he has become fast friends with. This associate also thinks she is a better manager than I since she (assistant) managed an off site temporary location for 3 weeks. Now this associate will only communicate with my friend as if he was the manager of the department and I have to constantly step in and reiterate that a lot of processes that they do together need to have my involvement and or consent. I am dealing with 2 very large egos...one that truly does have the capabilities (my friend) and the other that doesn't but thinks she does. How do I proceed with addressing this issue without sounding like a jealous or bumbling idiot.

Answer: Oh boy. Been there done that on two occasions and NEVER AGAIN. I'm sorry to say, but I would fire him. Trust me that is your only alternative. First time this happened to me the end result was not only was my friend promoted above me he made my work situation horrible that I eventually quit. Second time was very similar only this time no way in hell was I going to let anyone especially a friend push me out. Warn him. If his attitude does not change he will be let go. No friendship is worth your job especially in this economy.

Question: The new reporting scheme? Is it just me or does it appear as if Yahoo has just admitted it's incapable of doing anything about reporting abuse and is just trying to make the users responsible for it? How about if they hire a couple dozen moderators and stop relying on bots of one kind or another? Mr.USA-What in the heck are you ranting about?

Answer: AMEN!! SING IT!! I agree. and I further add that they are rewarding down right tattle taling. I remember the tattler used to get in trouble too, but no, now, you can be established as a TRUSTED REPORTER!! WHOOPE DEE DO!!!!

Question: First $600 of earnings as a new hire? Hello, when I was working for a Rental Car Agency in Arizona - The first $600 I made was untaxed he stated "earnings after $600 are taxed and reported as usual but the first $600 I don't get taxed and neither do you" Is this a Nationwide rule? Can you find any documentation on this? I'm wondering if this is the case here in Wisconsin? I worked for this company for a long time and made well over $600 but the first $600 I made I kept every dime of what I made. He even wrote me a check instead of the usual ones he printed off the computer. I assume so it didn't go into his tax software.

Answer: You may not have qualified as an independent contractor (since your boss probably told you when and how to do your job), but it sounds like you were treated as one anyway so that your boss could avoid paying his/her share of your FICA taxes. The provision that your boss referred to is the limitation for issuing a 1099. Although 1099s do not have to be issued if total income for the year is under $600, that does NOT mean that the income is not taxable. The $600 limit is only in place to simplify the reporting.

Question: Best time to implement new faculty at a University? I'm writing a report for a technical writing class at my university. The topic is about the implementation of a plan to hire new faculty in a department at my university. A section of my report needs to be about implementation of this plan - my question is: when is the best time to implement a plan such as this? I was thinking that the best time for implementation of something involving financial aspects would be sometime after the start of the next fiscal year to allow for taxes, etc. to see what the university's disposable income is after all expenses. Is this right or is there a better plan? Thanks guys!

Answer: 1. University's do not usually have "disposable income". They are part of a budget items. 2. The best time to hire faculty is when the university needs them, they are either contract, for one or two classes, or full time, potential tenured positions. Either way, the budget and demand for their services dictate their implementation time.

Question: How do you deal with a new boss hired from outside that is not suited to the company? I have a new boss hired from the outside and what I believe management perceived he was and what he is is too different cicrumstances. I report to him yet I still do majority of the work and management still comes to me all the time. I also am being put in a position where I am training my boss on business not only our systems. I do not know why I am reporting to him at all and he is bad for the company. I have been there 10 years and don't want to leave but I don't know how long I can deal with this situation. any advice???

Answer: More and more companies hire from the outside to prevent favoritism and it does work. I am sure your company would allow you to move up the ladder if you were willing to relocate. If you can not relocate then you should do your best at what you have been asked to do. If he is not suited to the company then they will see that in time and it is their decision on what steps to take. All employees should know their place and boundaries - do not think the company does not see this.

Question: Is it ever ok for a subordinate to get paid more than the person they report to? I recently discovered (completely by accident) one of the new hires who reports to me is getting compensated more than me. I have much more responsibility than him and I do not understand why he's getting paid more than me. I am his direct supervisor. Is this ever ok? Could I get fired if I bring this to my manager's attention? What should I do? FYI- My manager and I interviewed this person together so I know for a fact that he does not have more education than me.

Answer: It sounds like a pretty obvious question. If someone works beneath you then it's probably because they lack the skills and/or qualifications necessary to be in a higher position or one equal to your position. However, there may be something you don't know. There is a possibility that they may have been offered some kind of an incentive or bonus that makes their pay higher than yours. There's also a chance that your subordinate may only be in that position temporarily to gain the experience or skills necessary to advance to a different spot. He or she may have skills that you don't have but may lack some necessary qualifications so they may have hired that person to be in a position underneath you temporarily. It's typically bad business to bring up someone else's pay, but if you know of a discrepancy in pay you should say something. I don't know if I would bring up someone else's paycheck, but I would definitely ask the question as to whether or not your pay was commensurate with your experience, knowledge, expertise, and leadership. And, whether or not you could have somehow been overlooked for a promotion or bonus that would cause your pay to be lower than your subordinates. You should be able to state your case without bringing up some one else's pay check. I would only do that as a last resort. And to keep the insinuation that you have something against your subordinate you may want to inform him/her of your concern and the likelihood that you may be bringing up his/her personal info. Your boss can't discuss your subordinates pay with you, but with your subordinate there it may be different. Simple answer--your boss likes your subordinate better:-)

Question: If you have a dwi on your record, how long before a new employer will hire you? Or how long will it show up on their MVR report? Mine will be 3 years in Sept.

Answer: I have worked in recruiting before and most emplyers didn't have a problem with 1 DWI as long as it wasn't recent. The timing is kind of scaled by your age. If you are in your 20s and you got one 3 years ago (like college time), they don't really care. If you are in your 40s and you got one 3 years ago, they are more strict about it.

Question: Credit report for new hires? ...apparently your credit history gives a picture of your performance and reliability on the job. I know of people who have terrible credit due to lay-offs, divorce, etc. but are very dependable in all aspects of their lives. What gives with the employers wanting this info? Aren't job references enough anymore?

Answer: Your credit history is in no relation to your job performance. Employers check your credit to see if there is a possibility that you might be susceptible to stealing or skimming to pay your debts. I have not-so-great credit but I do my job 100%. I agree with most people, that checking your credit report should not necessarily be a major factor in determining your performance or reliablity. Credit checks do not show if you've ever been late, took too long of lunches, had an affair with their boss...etc. I'd rather go by references or past performance reviews. I'm sure there are lots of people with great credit but have terrible work ethics. Anyway, potential employers must have your permission first. Also, not every employer checks your credit. They usually check if your job involves dealing with money (banks, retail..) or if your new job or promotion at your present job involves a large sum of money.
