[Multi-State](https://help.backofficenow.com/compliance?hsLang=en#multi-state) # Hiring Across Multiple States with an Employer of Record ## Each new state can add its own wage, leave, and tax rules. ## The rule Hiring in another state can pull in that state's minimum wage, overtime, paid leave, and posting rules on top of the FLSA. The DOL consolidated wage table, revised November 5, 2026, shows which states are above, at, or below the federal $7.25 minimum wage. Where two rates apply, pay the higher one. ## What employers must do Tell BOSS the worksite state before the assignment starts. Do not assume one set of handbooks covers every state. Tax registration is a separate question from the wage statutes and was not confirmed from a labor-department page in this review. ## Effective dates Use the November 5, 2026 DOL table for 2026 rates, and the state articles for amounts already announced for January 1, 2027. ## What this means for BOSS partners and associates BOSS is often the employer of record for the associate. Wage, break, leave, posting, and tax rules usually follow the state where the associate works. Tell BOSS that state before the assignment starts. Associates should record every hour worked on the timesheet. Do not promise a pay practice, a leave bank, or a posting the statute does not require. Questions?
