Sign Up to Stop the Printing and Mailing of W-2 Statements
W-2 statements (wage and tax statements) will be available electronically for all employees through self service in the HCM/Payroll system. Employees can choose to only receive W-2 statements electronically and opt out of having paper copies mailed to home addresses listed in the HCM/Payroll system. Consent is required to opt out of the paper process. Once consent is provided, it will remain in effect unless withdrawn. Consent must be given by January 16 to ensure that 2012 W-2 statements will not be printed and mailed. Email notifications will be delivered to confirm consent, and additional email notifications will be sent in late January when statements are available in the HCM/Payroll system. To stop the mailing of a paper version, use the quick guide on the RIAS website here.
