W-4 and NC-4 forms
All employees should fill-out a W-4 form and NC-4 form for federal and state withholding taxes. These are available in the Human Resources Department and in the Payroll Office in Eller Hall. If no W-4/NC-4 is on hand in time for payroll processing, then the required assumption is that the employee is single with no exemptions.
If claiming "exempt" from Federal and/or State Withholding
Employees claiming "exempt" from withholding on their Forms W-4 and/or NC-4 must complete new forms each year by February 15th in order to keep their exempt status. Employees that do not submit new forms by the deadline will be processed as single with zero withholding allowances.
