UW–Madison employees now have the option of receiving all future W-2 and 1095-C forms in electronic form only each January. Employees who choose this option will no longer receive paper forms via U.S. mail. Electronic forms reduce the risk of lost or stolen forms. If you consent to electronic-only distribution of W-2 and 1095-C forms, you can change your mind at any time. Consent forms must be submitted by January 11, 2019 for the 2018 forms. Sign up by going to “Tax Statements” in the Payroll Information module in MyUW.

UW–Madison employees will now have easier access to key human resources information online, with the launch of a redesigned website by the Office of Human Resources. The website provides information about pay, benefits, and other HR topics of interest in a user-friendly format. The site also offers essential information for specific employee groups such as new employees, current employees, and international employees. Site users will find links to additional resources in areas such as well-being, professional development, and multilingual and multicultural services. Visit the site at hr.wisc.edu.
