Before a Support Broker completes their Employment Agreement, what must the employer do?

In this process, the employer must enroll with the Financial/Employer Agent (FEA) before the Employment Agreement can be completed. The FEA acts as the employer of record, handling payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance so the participant’s worker can be hired and paid properly. Without this enrollment, there’s no authorized mechanism to hire or compensate the worker, which prevents finalizing the Employment Agreement. Budget amendments, medical clearance, or the participant’s signature alone do not establish the necessary payroll and payroll‑related setup that the Employment Agreement relies on.
