Payroll Guide


April 23, 2008

Updates!

Verification of Employment:
Beginning March 1, 2008, The University of Washington will begin using a new standardized form for verifying employment and requesting verification letters. This new process will make verifying employment more efficient for all parties. As of June 1, we will no longer accept requests that do not use the UW form.

Form W-4:
W-4 forms can now be completed online through Employee Self-Service. For instructions, go to the Form W-4 page. A W-4 form must be completed upon initial hire. If the form is not completed, we will default the withholding to the highest rate; single and with zero allowances.

Direct Deposit:
The University encourages all employees to have direct deposit. On payday, your money will be in your account at the opening of the financial institution's payday. Direct deposit of your payroll check means no lost or stolen paper checks, no waiting in line to pick up a payroll check, and no special trip to your bank or credit union. Direct Deposit can be setup or changed online through Employee Self-Service. For instructions go to the Direct Deposit page.
