You may have received a “Residency Certification Form” in the
mail at home recently as a result of the implementation of Pennsylvania’s new
Act 32. While the act changes the way local earned income tax is collected, it
should be largely invisible to our faculty and staff. We do not need the form to
be returned to us, as we already have the required information on file for all
current employees. As long as your address as shown in Employee Self Service is
correct, there’s nothing else you need to do. The new form has been posted on
the HR website and is available in the office, for any employee with an address
change. Jennifer S Weidman, payroll manager, Human Resources Fall commencement ceremonies are tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. in the O’Pake Fieldhouse.
