Payroll

The Payroll Department tracks and processes many records. At the top of our priority lists: getting paid.

But they do a lot more than tally our time sheets and process our deposits.

Payroll makes tax payments, reconciles health care payments, and makes sure third-party vendors get paid. They also have to deal with some of the tougher parts of our financial lives: collecting and disbursing garnishments, tax liens, and child support orders.

The department deals with:

  • Payment schedules.
  • Tax withholding information.
  • W-2 statements.
  • Forms for direct deposit, leave pay, time sheets, and state-by-state tax withholding.
  • Guidance for time sheet completion during inclement weather.
