This agreement directs the payroll department how much is to be deducted from each check and the name and address of the company accepting your contribution. Changes can be made quarterly to the amount of your contribution or the deduction can be stopped at any time by filling out a new agreement.

W4 Form

The building administrative assistant has a supply of these forms. Changes can be made at any time. The Payroll Department cannot pay anyone without a W4. There is a separate form for federal and state governments. Make sure the name on your W4 exactly matches the name on your Social Security Card. Write legibly when you fill out the form and double check your social security number before submitting it. 

The number of exemptions you choose on your W4 will appear on your paycheck. Questions? Contact any of us.
