Faculty Deferred Pay Option
All nine-month faculty members can opt in to be paid over a 12-month span, according to Debbie Schwartzkopf, payroll. This process begins with September paychecks and holds a portion aside for nine months, then pays out over June, July, and August of the following summer. To sign up for this option you can download the form from the payroll website at http://tinyurl.com/ny77r98 or come into the payroll office to fill out a paper form. Faculty who sign up for this program remain enrolled until they give written notice that they do not want to participate in the program. There is no need to renew each year. All forms must be submitted to the payroll office no later than Friday, September 12, 2014 to be eligible for the 2013-2014 academic year. Contact payroll at 8338 or payroll@up.edu.

W-2 Time Once Again
It is W-2 time once again, and employees are asked to their addresses and social security numbers in the system and advise payroll of any changes that need to be made.
If you would like to receive your W-2 electronically, please log into self-serve. Go to Employee, Tax Forms, Electronic W-2 Consent. Click on the box that you consent to receive it electronically and click the submit button.
If you have already signed up for electronic W-2 delivery you do not need to do so again. You will receive an e-mail when they are available in the system, which will be sooner than the printed version. Paper W-2s will be mailed out by January 31.

Double Check W-2 Information
The payroll office would like to be sure that all employee information is correct for their year-end W-2 processing. Please check the spelling of your name, address, and withholding allowances so payroll personnel can make the changes before the end of the year. Employees can review their direct deposit advice or look in self-serve and verify their information. If they need to make changes they can e-mail the payroll office with the address change or fill out a new W-4 for withholding allowance changes. For more information contact Debbie at 8338 or Karen at 7338 or e-mail payroll@up.edu.
News to Use For Your W-2
Employees are encouraged to sign up for electronic delivery of W-2 forms, according to Debbie Schwartzkopf, payroll. An e-mail will be sent letting employees know when the W-2 is available to print (usually a week earlier than the printed version is mailed out). Sign up by going into Self-Serve, Employee, Tax Forms, Electronic W-2 Consent. Read the information and check the “My Choice” box to enroll in electronic delivery. This remains in effect each year so you only have to sign up once.
