Question

8) Under the federal new hire reporting requirement how many days does an employer have after hire date?

A. 10 days
B. 20 days
C. 30 days
D. 40 days

Answer 1

The federal new hire reporting mandate typically requires employers to report new hires within 20 days after the employee's start date. The referenced 60-day notice is related to the WARN Act, not new hire reporting.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the federal new hire reporting requirement, employers have a specific time frame to report new hires to a state directory. The provided information, which refers to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act that mandates a 60-day notice for plant closings or large layoffs, does not directly address new hire reporting requirements. However, the actual reporting period for new hires under federal law is typically 20 days after the employee's start date. Some states may have different requirements, with shorter reporting time frames.
