HR Documents for Employer as State Citizens
Professional documentation designed to help State Citizens clearly communicate their status, elections, and employment-related instructions to Human Resources and payroll departments.
Many men and women completing the HISAdvocates Living in the Private Program eventually face an important practical question: How do I communicate my status to an employer without creating confusion with HR, payroll, or corporate compliance personnel?
This document service is designed specifically for that purpose.
HISAdvocates prepares a customized employment documentation package intended to help you formally communicate your position to an employer and create a clear administrative record concerning your employment relationship, tax documentation, withholding elections, and State Citizen status.
Depending upon your individual circumstances, the package may include:
- Employer Status Notification Letter
- Human Resources Administrative Notice
- State Citizen Status Explanation
- W-8BEN-related documentation and supporting correspondence, when applicable
- Instructions concerning W-4 or withholding documentation based upon the member's circumstances
- Revocation or correction of prior elections or authorizations, when appropriate
- Payroll Department Notice
- Notice concerning federal withholding or reporting positions
- Conditional Acceptance or Response to Employer Requests
- Follow-up and Enforcement Correspondence
- Affidavits, declarations, notices, or supporting exhibits when appropriate
- Document mailing and administrative-record instructions
- Guidance for maintaining copies, certified-mail evidence, and employer responses
More Than a Single Letter
This service is not simply a generic form letter downloaded from the Internet.
The objective is to create an organized administrative paper trail showing what was communicated, when it was communicated, and what documentation accompanied the request.
When an employer or HR department requests additional information, rejects a document, or relies upon its internal policies, additional correspondence can be prepared to address the specific issue and clarify the member's position.
The goal is professional communication—not confrontation.
Designed for Real-World HR Departments
Employers often operate through automated payroll systems, compliance departments, outside payroll processors, and attorneys. The individual HR representative may have never encountered the documentation being presented.
Our documents are therefore written to help:
Clearly identify the issue.
Explain the member's stated position.
Provide supporting documentation.
Request a written response when appropriate.
Create an organized administrative record.
Provide a foundation for follow-up correspondence.
Part of the HISAdvocates Private-Living Process
For members participating in the Living in the Private Program, employment documentation can become one component of the broader process of establishing and documenting their chosen status and reorganizing their affairs.
HISAdvocates has assisted members with document preparation, affidavits, notices, declarations, revocations, agency correspondence, passport-related documentation, private foundations, private mailing arrangements, administrative records, and other status-related matters.
Customized to Your Situation
Employment circumstances differ substantially from one employer to another. A large corporation may respond differently than a privately owned company, government contractor, hospital, school, staffing agency, or payroll service.
For that reason, documents may be customized based upon:
- Your employer
- HR or payroll correspondence you have already received
- Forms previously completed
- Your current employment status
- The position you are communicating
- The employer's response
- Any additional documentation requested by HR

Get your position documented. Get your records organized. Communicate professionally.
