What forms are necessary when I hire new employees? Where can I get them?

In addition to the US W-4 form required for employee identification of taxes and exemptions, all employers must complete and maintain a US I-9 form for each employee. California Employers are required to complete and submit Form DE-34 to report new employees to the State Economic Development Department. These are only a few of the many forms and informational items that must be provided to new employees.
