Effective July 1st, 2024, Indiana Senate Bill 148 requires all employers to report newly hired and rehired employees electronically to the Indiana New Hire Reporting Center, with several new data elements now mandatory in the reporting process.
Understanding the New Reporting Requirements
Indiana employers will need to include additional information when reporting new hires. Beyond the standard details, you’ll now be required to report:
- Employee’s Current Job Title: A clear and accurate job title for the employee.
- Employee’s Primary Standardized Occupational Classification Code: A code that classifies the employee’s occupation based on standardized criteria.
- Employee’s Starting Compensation: The initial compensation details, reflecting what the employee is earning at the start of employment.
- Employee’s Rate of Pay: How the employee is paid, whether annually, hourly, or another method.
These updates are designed to enhance the state’s ability to monitor employment and ensure compliance with various labor laws. However, they also add complexity to the reporting process, requiring more detailed and accurate data from employers.
