Adding a new team member can be exciting for any organization, and human resource departments can help ensure a worker has a good first day with accurate reporting. Employee benefit consultants offer assistance in this area, teaching companies how to provide state and federal agencies information about a new employee.

Businesses may require a new hire to fill out paperwork on his or her first day at work. Companies ask for the information so they can provide it to state and federal governments to verify data including an employee's address, name and social security number. This information is necessary to comply with state and federal laws, and will be necessary for accurate tax and income reporting purposes.

Companies will need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) to submit a new hire's paperwork to state and federal officials. Obtaining an EIN may appear difficult, but employee benefit consulting firms can provide guidance to employers.

Employee benefit services support businesses by offering resources and information about handling new hire reporting. The consultants provide examples to employers to teach them how to create mistake-free new hire reports consistently. Experts can help companies increase human resource departments' productivity.
