Understanding the New Hire Workfile

Before you generate new hire reports and magnetic media files, you must build the New Hire Reporting Workfile - OneWorld Only table (F074001) that includes all of the employee information that you are required to report to state agencies. This workfile, which you generate using the Create New Hire Workfile program (R074001), contains all of the information that you need to create the reports and magnetic media for each state. You can use a processing option to specify whether you want to generate the reports when you build the workfile. If you do not generate the reports when you generate the workfile, you use the Government Reporting - Report Setup program (P074001R) to generate the reports. Regardless of whether you generate reports when you create the workfile, you use the Government Reporting - Report Setup program to create magnetic media files.
