Do employees have to provide an address or can they just say no fixed abode?

Answer 1

You need to have an address because of income tax and National Insurance contributions that your employer has to make. Without an address, he cannot legally employ you.

Answer 2

Yes, you need the address where they put their head down at night time; not in a post office box. They are sleeping somewhere, whether it is a shelter or with a friend.

I would be very suspicious if a person did not want to give an address. Are they hiring from the law, child support, hit man???

There are companies that they will verify an future employee background. There are so many bogus social security numbers, driver license, former employment letters, etc. floating around these days.

You can ask them for a copy of their latest utility bill (telephone, gas, electricity, auto insurance) and that will show a street address and their mailing address.

Answer 3

They need an address to send the W-2 so if you are homeless give your parents or some other person who can collect your mail.

Answer 4

Answer 6

They can say no fixed abode, but the employer doesn't have to hire them if they won't disclose their residence.

Answer 7

I know it Massachusetts you have to have at least a mailing address. This is all, of course, for tax purposes!

Answer 8

You need an address.

Answer 9

I only ever give out my P. O. Box. My employer wouldn't have any idea where I live.

Answer 10

if you don't give them your address then do not expect to get hired.
