Can we get our W-2 documents early online?
Unfortunately, not. There are two reasons: timing and accessibility. With respect to timing, 2018 tax statements (W-2 form) for Owensboro team members require a certain amount of processing time. This allows for the company to summarize year-end wages and deductions, transmitting this information to the payroll administrator (ADP). With respect to accessibility, Owensboro’s current HR technology will not allow team members to access these documents online. You should expect to receive them as you have in the past (attached to your pay advice/stub).
Good news? We’re looking to replace Owensboro’s existing payroll/time/attendance system with a more contemporary system that will allow team members to access such documents online (as well as viewing pay information, checking paid time-off balances, requesting time off, and a host of other functions). If all goes as planned, this will occur later in 2019.
