IMPORTANT | Election of W2 Delivery Options – Electronic or Paper

For all employees,

Shoreline Community College is required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to furnish all employees a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement each calendar year to be used in completing the employee’s annual tax returns. The Form W-2 Tax Statement details the employee’s wages, tax withholding and other important payroll information for the calendar year. Instead of paper copies, employees may consent to receive their Form W-2 electronically.

Benefits of the electronic Form W-2

  • Earlier access to the Form W-2 than paper copies.
  • No possibility Form W-2 might be lost, stolen, delayed or misplaced by the USPS.
  • The Form W-2 is accessed via Self Service using the employee’s Empl ID and Password.
  • Worldwide access from any Internet connection.
  • The employee has the option to print multiple copies at their convenience.
  • Once consent is given, it remains in force. No annual renewal is required.
  • Employee Form W-2 will be available in Self Service for the last 3 years.
  • Cost savings for the College by eliminating printing and mailing costs.

Employees must log into Self Service (Employee Self Service > Payroll > W-2/W-2c > W-2/W-2c Consent) and consent to receive an electronic copy of their W-2 form by December 31st. The steps can be found in the following Quick Reference Guide: 9.2 ESS W-2/W-2c Electronic Consent (Fluid)

Want a paper W-2; If an employee opts out of the W-2 consent (default), it is their responsibility to ensure the mailing address on file is correct. Paper Form W-2 will be postmarked no later than January 31st. Once the Form W-2 has been placed in the mail, it is out of our control as to where and when it gets delivered.

All employees have access to check and update their address via self-service: HCM Employee Self Service > Personal Details Tile > Addresses

The system will use Mailing Address type for W-2 Forms and if that is not available, it will use Home Address. Any other address type will cause errors and W-2 Form will not be produced.

Events and News 

Hey folks- hope all is going well! It has been a jam–packed week – much to share. 

First of all, thanks to those of you who were able to attend and provide feedback during our Vice President for Instruction (VP-I) open forums last week. And my sincere appreciation to the VP-I screening committee for their ongoing work in support of the recruitment for this position. After careful consideration of the College’s needs, I will not be moving forward to hire either candidate and instead will be revising and reposting the VP-I position. Updates to come when we have them. 

WOW the Flamenco concert with Rafael Ramírez and his group this Sunday at the theater here was simply stunning! Thank you to all who came out to support this event and for all of the camaraderie afterwards. It was so lovely to have so many folks from our diverse Hispanic/LatinX community join, and to hear so many folks conversing in Spanish!! Thank you to the honorary consulate of Spain in Seattle Luis Esteban (Fernando!) for bringing this beautiful event to us. Looking forward to many more. As I said to him- “más, más, más!” 

On Saturday night, I was very humbled to be invited to speak at the Tibetan Association of Washington (TAW): Congressional Gold Medal Celebration in Seattle. It was a great community event with wonderful Himalayan food and beautiful performances from community members. I am so pleased Shoreline Community College can be a partner to the community and find a home for their Sunday school! (Photos courtesy of Kurt Smith and myself). Now if I can just get the chili paste recipe- it was so GOOD, and so HOT!! 

There was an impressive turn-out on Saturday morning for the King County Sheriff’s Office “Gift Cards for Guns” event. Lines of cars came out (50 guns were traded before the event even opened!). I was really fortunate to have met Sherriff Patricia Cole-Tindall of King County and her team at the event. A big thanks to her and, Kenmore PD, Chief Kelly Park and the Shoreline Police Department, and our very own Greg Cranson and the SSC Security Team who did such a great job! 319 weapons were collected on Saturday- well done! 

We also had a terrific advisory event last week with our CTE programs and industry and high-school partners. It was a packed room filled with wonderful conversation. A special thanks to Shanon Reedy, Kara Haney, Stephanie Sareeram, Lauren Hadley, Dalila Paredes, Cris Walters, Tamami Eggers, Ellen Pincus, Lisa Smith, Mary Bonar, Mary Burroughs, Mary Lockman, Nancy Dick, Gary Fantozzi, Asako Esperum, and Alex Mitu for all their work in coordinating, to Shoreline high schools for providing the food, to Rob Berg for providing the video presentation and to Andres Barriga Mendoza for sound. Apologies if I missed anyone, but a huge thank you to all involved! 

Lastly, this week I also had the opportunity to drop by the new faculty institute on Friday and speak with some faculty. I really love how Dr Perez organizes the meeting and allows for engaging information sharing across faculty.  I’m Really glad that program is evolving (in addition to bringing in some fantastic new faculty!). 

Hope you all have a great rest of your week! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Foundation and Advancement 

The Giving Table: SCCF Annual Fundraising Luncheon   

The SCCF annual fundraising luncheon happens on November 3! This year’s event will focus on how donors impact the students and programs at SCC. Unlike in past years, there will be no cost to attend the event. Guests will be asked to consider making a gift of $200 (or an amount that is meaningful for them) during the event. If you would like to help or want to know more about filling up a table of people, let Wendy know!  

Giving Table – Table Captains: 

We are seeking volunteers to host tables. This means you would invite people you know professionally (or personally) who you think would be excited about giving a gift in support of SCC Students and programs, you help them register, and let them know any details (how to park etc.), and on the day of the event you act as the Foundation’s representative at the table! Don’t worry, it’s not hard, in fact it’s fun! We’ll even have a handbook that will help you know what to do and when. Let Wendy know if you are interested! 

Giving Table – Sponsors:   

Sponsorship is a critical component of any fundraising event. Sponsors, individuals, and businesses, provide funds for promotional consideration on our website, social media, printed collateral, etc. Event sponsors help to defray the cost of the event so that every dollar raised will support SCC students and programs! If you want to be a sponsor, or know someone who could be a sponsor, click here for more info.  

Shout out to the sponsors who have already committed to helping! Click here to see who they are! And if you know or shop with them, give them a big “thank you”!
