W-2s

Official 2010 W-2 Access through Merlin!

Fast, Easy, Safe & Secure

It’s Official! NCC employees will be able to access their IRS W-2 forms on-line through Merlin beginning with the 2010 tax statement.

This NEW electronic W-2 form provides convenience to employees and furthers our efforts to be a sustainable campus.

In order to obtain on-line access, employees must consent to receive the on-line W-2. The employee’s initial consent is valid for all subsequent years and can only be voided by withdrawing consent or upon termination of employment. With this consent, employees will NOT receive a paper copy. Once W-2’s have been posted to their Merlin account, employees will be able to access their official form online immediately to view or print copies as often as they need them. Tax statements for 2010 and subsequent years will be available with consent 24/7 from any computer with internet access.

Employees who do not consent to the electronic W-2 form will continue to receive a paper form through the U.S. Postal service. Printed forms will be mailed by January 31, 2010 to the permanent address on file in Human Resources. Employees are responsible for notifying Human Resources with any address changes.

Benefits to receiving the W-2 Form online versus through the mail:

· W-2 information will be available 24/7 in an IRS approved PDF format

· Online delivery provides access to your W-2 earlier then paper W-2’s mailed on January 31^st

· Online delivery eliminates the chance that the paper W-2 form will get lost, misdirected or delayed during postal delivery, or misplaced once the employee receives it

· Signing up for online delivery is fast, easy and secure, and the employee can change his/her mind and withdraw from online delivery at any time

· “Going Green” not only benefits you for faster service and convenience but also saves cost of forms, postage and trees

Please follow the directions I emailed to you or

the directions on the time clock TODAY!

Give NCC your electronic consent to deliver your 2010 W-2

to your online Merlin account.

Remember, to ensure fast, easy and secure delivery of your 2010 W-2 you must sign up by January 7, 2011.

So don’t delay, sign up today!

Then offer to transfer them to their voicemail or ask if they would like to speak to someone else. If they do want to speak to someone, please transfer them to Denise, when you do this please say that you are transferring the person to the secretary.
