Compliance
Hire in a new state without opening a new tab.
When you add someone in a state you haven't paid in before, Fernly registers your withholding and unemployment accounts, files the new-hire report and adds the state's paid-leave program to payroll.
What we file, so you don't have to
| Filing | How often | Who handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Form 941 (federal withholding) | Quarterly | Fernly |
| Form 940 (FUTA) | Annually | Fernly |
| State withholding and unemployment returns | Quarterly | Fernly |
| New-hire reporting | Within 20 days of hire | Fernly |
| W-2 and 1099-NEC | By January 31 | Fernly |
| State tax account registration | Once per state | Fernly, on Plus and Premium |
Rules change. We keep up.
Minimum wage, paid sick leave, state disability insurance and family-leave programs change dozens of times a year. Our compliance team tracks every update and applies it to your payroll before the effective date, then emails you a one-paragraph summary of what changed.
