2. PAYROLL HOLIDAY DEADLINES & YEAR END REMINDER
As a reminder to employees currently utilizing the Dependent Tuition Scholarship Benefit, please have your Spring 2018 tuition bill submitted to payroll@wesleyan.edu by December 18th if you would like it paid in December.
The Holiday break requires the payroll deadlines to be adjusted for pay dates of Dec 22nd, Dec 29th and Jan 5, 2018. The Payroll office deadlines will be clearly noted on the holiday payroll email which will be distributed in early December.
In preparation for 2017 calendar year-end, please review your most recent earnings statement carefully. Verify that your NAME (first, middle and last) is the same as printed on your social security card. Confirm that your mailing address is correct. Any changes that need to be reflected on your 2017 W-2 needs to be submitted to Payroll no later than Dec 15, 2017.
All employees are reminded to review both their federal and state tax filing status. Your current status is listed on your earnings statement. As a reminder, “Married, but withhold at a higher single rate”, is taxed as “Single” status. If you are filing exempt for federal tax, remember to submit a new W4 form for 2018 by the deadline (2/15/2018) or your status will expire and revert to the highest withholding of single, zero.
If you have any tax questions, please seek the advice of a tax specialist.
Forms are available on the Payroll web site, or you can come to the Payroll Office located at 212 College Street or email payroll@wesleyan.edu. Our contact phone number is 860-685-2670.
