Please be aware that Christopher House has officially changed their name to "Saint Christopher Catholic Newman Center." See more information at: http://www.christopherhouseku.org/

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.
