Consider these requirements when doing business in new states and hiring new employees.

1. Fill out employee onboarding forms 
   • New hires need to complete:
     • W-4 form: Tells you how much tax to withhold
     • I-9 form: Proves they can legally work in the U.S
   • You’ll need to check their ID (passport, driver’s license, etc.) as listed on the I-9
   • Keep these forms on file—Gusto will store them electronically for you
2. Report new hires to the state
   • You must report new hires to the state where they work. The state uses this info to track debts (like child support).
   • This report is usually due within 20 days of hire.
   • Gusto can file a new hire report for you if you choose the option when adding an employee.
3. Get Workers' Compensation Insurance
   • Most states require this insurance, and Gusto can help. It covers employee injuries or illnesses on the job, providing benefits to employers and employees.
   • You can get it through:
     • A commercial carrier
     • Your state’s insurance program
4. Display required workplace posters
   • You must post certain labor law posters in your workplace. Use the Department of Labor’s Poster Advisor to find what you need.
   • Gusto offers a labor law poster subscription to make sure you remain compliant for both physical and remote locations. 
   • You can download free versions of posters or buy them online from other sellers like the Labor Law Poster Store.
5. Follow labor laws
   • Learn the employment laws that apply to your business, like:
     • Minimum wage rules
     • Wage garnishments
     • Termination policies
     • Contractor classification
   • The Department of Labor’s Employer Guide has many of those details.
   • The Small Business Administration also offers a 10-step guide for starting a business, which includes everything from writing a business plan to applying for licenses and permits.
6. Offer health insurance (optional)
   • If you offer health insurance, follow ACA regulations.
   • If you have benefits managed by Gusto, we help keep you compliant by:
     • Handling pre-tax payroll deductions
     • Providing 1095-C forms (when required)
     • Sharing the ACA Marketplace Notice with new hires
     • Storing the Section 125 document in your account
     • Keeping you aligned with your current policies and carrier
