W-2 Error
It has come to our attention that there was an error in the printing of the W-2’s that were distributed earlier this week. The error does not effect the amount of taxable wages or the amounts withheld for federal or State tax. It relates to the information reporting of the pre-tax employee paid Wisconsin Retirement contributions. This amount was included in box 12 with a code G. The amount should have been shown in box 14. Due to the error, W-2’s will be reprinted and redistributed as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for the error. If anyone has questions on this matter, feel free to contact Michelle at 832-6438.

Leave Record Code Changes For All Non Union Employees for 2012
Please use the following new codes when entering time when using PTO:
When taking time off using PTO use the code – PO
When off sick using PTO use the code – PS
When taking FMLA time off using PTO use the code – FP
Worker’s Compensation code change
Employees off on work comp will receive no pay from the City but will receive their payroll from the work comp carrier separately. In order to accommodate this, all employees (except Police, Fire & VT unions) will have to use the new “RW” code. This stands for report work comp no pay. Therefore, your employee with this code will have their regular hours for that pay period reduced by the RW code hours and only should receive pay for their actual hours worked. The WC code has been deactivated and you will not be able to use it by accident. If you have any WC questions, please contact Jay or Kim directly.
