Why do I need to register for payroll in a new state?

If you operate a business and employ one or more employees, you must register as an employer in their applicable work state(s). Failure to comply with the state’s registration guidelines in a timely manner can result in fines and penalties.

Past this, Middesk cannot advise customers on matters of compliance such as when or where you should be registered.

In most cases, it is your payroll provider who will request or indicate when you should be registered, based on the information you provide them. If you are unsure why a certain registration was requested, this is a question you will have to clarify with your payroll provider directly.
