Important Information About Tax and Employment Forms and Hiring Documentation from Employing Departments:

To ensure timely processing of payroll for new hires, all required tax and employment forms and complete and accurate hiring documentation from employing departments must be submitted to HR by the established deadlines. Please note that if documents are received after the deadline, pay will be deferred to the next scheduled pay date. 

We encourage all parties to complete and submit their paperwork as soon as possible to avoid any delays in pay.
