HERE’S HOW TO ENTER
There are three different ways companies can participate.
FIRST – You can be an individual organization with a FEIN, or Federal Employer Identification Number.
SECOND – You can be the parent or holding company of more than one organization, with one FEIN for all subsidiaries. The parent or holding company must register with all employees employed by it.
THIRD – You can be a subsidiary of a parent or holding company but register separately if each subsidiary has a different FEIN. If you have more than one facility, branch, factory, office, or store, you must include all locations that operate under your FEIN in the survey.
WHO TO INCLUDE
When you participate, all of your current full- and part-time permanent employees working in the U.S./Canada should be included. This means everyone from the line-level employees all the way up to the executives and from the on-site workers to remote employees. If they physically work in the U.S./Canada or report to a supervisor in the U.S/Canada, include them.
