Form 3281 State of Michigan New Hire Reporting Form - Michigan

Form 3281 Instructions

Each employer is required to report certain information about employees who have been newly hired or rehired. Document the following details in the Michigan New Hire Form:

1. Provide the employee information. State the individual's full name, Social Security Number, valid address, and the date of hire - the date the employee first performs services for wages. If you need to report a rehire, use the date of return to work, not the original date of hire. The date of birth and driver's license number are optional; however, they are very helpful in the verification of employment;
2. Record the employer information. Indicate the employer's name, Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), and address. You may add contact details - the name, phone number, fax, and email address. This is optional but highly recommended, particularly if there is missing required information and the authorities need to contact the employer. Generally, the employer details are preprinted by the employer and the employee only completes the necessary information when hired.

Once you have completed a Michigan New Hire form, you are required to send it to the Michigan New Hire Operations Center, PO Box 85010, Lansing, MI 48908-5010. You have 20 days from the hire date to submit a report. Failure to report may lead to a fine. The papers will not be processed if you fail to include mandatory information, so be careful and try not to miss any important details.
