Paying employees in FL
When hiring employees in new states, you need to register for relevant state tax accounts to facilitate their payment. In Florida, you must register as an employer with the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) and you must provide us with your Florida Reemployment Tax Account Number and Reemployment Tax Rate.
Justworks Payroll can also handle the registration process for you. We offer state tax registration services to assist with registering your business in new states. To request registration, please contact us at support@payroll.justworks.com.
