OEWS Reporting Instructions

Which employees should I report?

Report employees working at, or reporting to, the location specified after “Report for” in the mailing address in your letter or email.

Report employees who are on paid leave or assigned temporarily to other work locations, including employees who are working remotely or off-site.

Report paid owners and officers of incorporated firms.

What information should I report?

For each of these employees, please report the following information:

Job title

Brief description of duties

Part-time or full-time status

Hourly wage rate (for part-time or full-time employees) or annual salary (for full-time employees only)

Weekly hours

Hire date

Gender

Birth year

Department (optional)

What information should not be reported?

Do not report any of the following employees or information:

Do not report contract workers

Do not report owners or partners of unincorporated firms.

Do not report employee names or Social Security numbers

Do not report annual wages for part-time employees

How should I report job titles?

Report employee job titles according to the work they are doing, not their training.

Example: Report an employee working as a drafter, but trained as an engineer, as a drafter.

Report an employee as a supervisor if they spend at least 80 percent of their time supervising other employees.

Example: Report a head cashier as a supervisor of cashiers if they spend more than 80 percent of their time supervising other cashiers, but

report them as a cashier if they spend less than 80 percent of their time supervising other cashiers.

Report apprentices separately from helpers.

Example: Report an apprentice carpenter as a carpenter but report an employee who helps them as a carpenter’s helper.

How should I report wage rates?

Report hourly wage rates or annual salaries for full-time employees. Report hourly wage rates for part-time employees.

If wage rates are recorded differently, such as by the month, convert them to an hourly wage rate.

Report each employee’s actual wage rate, not an approximation.

For employees who earn tips, commissions, or piece-rate payments, calculate their hourly wage rate or annual salary including their base pay plus tips, commissions, or piece rates.
