Register payroll taxes in New York after hiring a remote employee

New York remote hires can trigger withholding, unemployment, disability/PFL, and worker coverage setup.

Required checks

State withholding

New York Department of Taxation and Finance

Business Online Services withholding registration

Unemployment

New York Department of Labor

NYS-100 employer registration

Coverage

NYS Workers' Compensation Board

Workers' comp, disability, and PFL coverage

No broad income-tax reciprocity agreement; New York also has convenience-of-employer complexity.

Workers' compensation plus disability and paid family leave coverage commonly need review.
