The PayNews Monthly - January 2021 Edition

Updates

*        W-2s - W-2s have been mailed and made available on DuckWeb. Per the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, all wages paid under Emergency Sick leave and Expanded FMLA will be listed in box 14 on employee's W-2s. The wages are also included in box 1, so the box 14 amounts are just to report those specific amounts. This information will also be included in the notice to employees.

Reminders


  *   Eugene City Tax - The new Eugene City Tax goes into effect on January 1, 2021 for pay periods starting on or after January 1, 2021. Only those employees whose job location is in Eugene will have to pay this new tax so it is critical that departments provide accurate Job Location codes for their employees. Incorrect Job Location codes can lead to employees being taxed incorrectly. Employees temporarily working from home should not have their job locations changed per the city. Additional information about the Eugene City Tax can be found on the City of Eugene's website<https://eugene-or.gov/CommunitySafety>.


  *   Exempt W-4s - Claiming exempt on the W-4 or OR-W-4 expires after January 31st, 2021. If employees believe they should be exempt for 2021 they will need to complete a new 2021 W-4 and/or OR-W-4. 2021 versions are available here: 2021 W-4<https://pages.uoregon.edu/baoforms/bao_drupal_6/sites/ba.uoregon.edu/files/forms/w4.pdf> and 2021 OR-W-4<https://pages.uoregon.edu/baoforms/bao_drupal_6/sites/ba.uoregon.edu/files/forms/or-w-4.pdf>.
  *   UO-NRA Form (Annual Renewal for International Employees) - Employees were notified of their requirement to furnish the documents and information needed to properly tax them for 2021. Please assist employees in completing the forms and submitting documents to Erin Driscoll, erinlynn at uoregon.edu<mailto:erinlynn at uoregon.edu>.
