Explanation
California employers must report all newly hired or rehired employees to the EDD's New Employee Registry within 20 days of the employee's start-of-work date. This reporting supports child-support enforcement and helps detect unemployment and disability fraud. Reporting is done on Form DE 34 or electronically.
