Louisiana New Hire Reporting

    January 4, 2012

    Calling all Employers!

    Federal and State law requires employers to report newly hired and re-hired employees in Louisiana to the Louisiana Directory of New Hires.  The Louisiana Directory of New Hires assists employers with federal and state new hire reporting requirements on behalf of the Department of Children & Family Services.

    New hire reporting is important and assists by offering the following benefits:

    • Speeds up the child support income withholding order process
    • Expedites the collection of child support from parents who change jobs frequently
    • Quickly locates non-custodial parents to help in establishing paternity and child support orders
    • Helps prevent fraudulent payments to recipients of unemployment insurance, worker's compensation and welfare benefits
    It is important that we share this information with our members.  If you have questions or need additional information, please visit the website at www.la-newhire.com
