Prepare for Winter Closure  

The countdown is on for the winter break, and for the New Year. Before you leave, check out our annual list of year-end reminders. When is the last pay day of 2019? How and when can you contribute to the new Roth 403(b) plan? How do you renew your transit passes before your return to work in January? We have all of the important dates in one place.
REVIEW THE CHECKLIST

PAYROLL

2020 federal withholding – new Form W-4

Form W-4, used to calculate your federal withholding tax on your paycheck, is changing for tax year 2020. The new form is expected to be significantly different from the previous version due to changes in federal tax law. You won’t be required to submit a new Form W-4 for 2020, but you must use the new version to make future changes. Axess will be updated with the new form once it is released by the IRS. Look for a communication from Payroll later in December with full details.

Connecting employees on campus and online 

Employees donate an estimated 3,200 care packs and 1,000 jackets and coats 

Our fourth annual university-wide donation drive collecting personal care items and new or gently used jackets and coats took place during October and November. Thousands of employees came together to donate, write notes of encouragement, and volunteer their time to sort and assemble care packs and to sort coats and jackets. All donations have been delivered to charities working with families and local community members in need, including those impacted by recent North Bay wildfires.
