Employers are required to report a new employee or rehired employee to the Alabama New Hire Reporting Program.

In Alabama, as in many other states, employers are mandated to report all new hires and rehires to the designated New Hire Reporting Program. This requirement is part of a broader effort to streamline child support enforcement and ensure that new employees are properly documented for tax and labor purposes. The main aim of this program is to provide states with the necessary information to locate parents who are obligated to pay child support, thereby facilitating the collection process.

By complying with this requirement, employers help reduce the administrative burden on government agencies and contribute to the overall efficiency of employment verification processes. This obligation applies uniformly to all employers, regardless of the size or type of the business, ensuring that every new or rehired employee is reported promptly.
