What forms should new employees complete and how should they be filed?
Every new employee should complete the following: Federal Form W-4 This form is used to determine the amount of Federal income tax to be withheld from the employee’s pay. If a new employee does not give you a completed Form W-4, you should withhold tax as if the employee is single with no withholding allowances. Indiana Form WH-4 This form indicates the number of withholding exemptions to be used when calculating Indiana and local income tax withholding. It also determines the county of residence for local income tax purposes. U.S. Department of Justice Form I-9 This is to be completed by all employees at the time of hire to verify employment eligibility. The employer must also complete a section of the form after examining certain employee-provided documents as specified in the form instructions.
