Has your address changed?

Every year the Post Office returns hundreds of W-2s to the University Payroll Dept. due to incorrect addresses. Payroll must also prepare corrected W-2s due to adjustments submitted by departments after the W-2s have printed. Your assistance is required to ensure that W-2s are produced with correct information and will be mailed to the correct address!

Incorrect addresses and late payroll adjustments will result in delays in your employees W-2s!

Please email any address changes for you or student assistants to libjobs@uga.edu by December 15, 2006.
