Employers must also report employees who are rehired, recalled, or returning to work after an unpaid interval of more than 90 days. Employers and/or labor organizations doing business in the State of Wisconsin must report the following employees: * New employees: Employers must report all employees who reside or work in the State of Wisconsin to whom the employer anticipates paying earnings. Employees must be reported even if they work only one day and are terminated (prior to the employer fulfilling the new hire reporting requirement). * Re-hires or Re-called employees: Employers must report rehires, or employees who return to work after being laid off, furloughed, separated, granted a leave without pay, or terminated from employment after 90 days. Employers must also report any employee who remains on the payroll during a break in service or gap in pay, and then returns to work after 90 days. This includes teachers, substitutes, seasonal workers, etc. *Temporary employees: Temporary agencies are responsible for reporting any employee who they hire to report for an assignment.
