In December, Benefits and Payroll sent an email requesting employees to review, update if necessary, and confirm their work location. Work location is the physical location where you work over 50% of the time.
You may be wondering why we regularly review and update our work location address. Employers are required to report employees’ wages on a quarterly basis to the state where the employee performs services. The work location on file in the university’s HR/Payroll system is used to determine the appropriate state for reporting unemployment wages and determines eligibility for time off and leave benefits in the state or locality where you work. If your W-4 address has changed, you may need to submit a new state withholding form.
If you have not yet reviewed your work location, please visit GWeb. Step-by-step instructions and FAQs are available to help complete your review. For detailed information on university time off and leave benefits, please visit the Time Off and Leave Guide on the Benefits website or contact us at timeoff@gwu.edu.
