+### Register Fleet as an employer with a new state 
+Fleet must register as an employer in any state where we hire new teammates. To do this, complete the following steps in Gusto:
+1. After a new teammate completes their Gusto profile, the Business Operations department will be prompted to approve it for payroll. Sign in to your Gusto admin account and begin the approval process.
+2. Select "yes" when prompted to file a new hire report and complete the approval process.
+3. Once the profile is approved, navigate to Tax setup and select the state you’d like to register Fleet in.
+4. Select “Have us register for you” and then “Start registration.”
+5. Verify, add, and amend any company information to ensure accuracy.
+6. Select “Send registration” and authorize payment for the specified amount. CorpNet will then send an email with next steps, which vary by state.

 ### Process an email from a state agency
 From time to time, you may get notices via email (or in the mail) from state agencies regarding Fleet's withholding and/or unemployment tax accounts. You can resolve some of these notices on your own by verifying and/or updating the settings in your Gusto account.
