Overview
This topic provides an overview of the information, required by federal and state law, that employers must give to employees at the time of hiring, including information relating to taxes, wage and hour, benefits, fair employment practices, and other miscellaneous labor and employment law requirements. There are two exceptions to the “at the time of hiring” parameter: Taxes (exemption certifications) and tip credit notification (for this topic it is assumed a tip credit will be taken so notice must be provided about the tip credit before an employee begins work). Industry-specific requirements are not included.
Local jurisdictions are generally not included in this report; any references to local laws are made to only highlight the compliance challenges employers may face.
