A majority of jurisdictions, including federal and most states, have requirements regarding documentation that must be provided to an employee during employment.

Our Fifty state chart on the documents to provide during employment summarizes these requirements relating to specific laws and regulations. However, an employer may wish to consider providing notice to employees regarding certain workplace changes even if not required to do so. For example, employers should consider providing employees with advance written notice before a pay change occurs, even if there is no statutory requirement to do so.
