Please, join Marical Farner for a brown-bag discussion on January 7, 2010 from 12 (noon) - 1:30p.m. in ELC B to discuss her recent attendance at the CUPA Conference (College and University Professional Association - HR branch). Several items will be reviewed, but she hopes to have a lively and open discussion about using Facebook and other social networks at work including such questions as "Should I Friend my boss or coworkers?" and, "Can I get in trouble for something I post during work hours?".

recent pay advice (top right corner) to confirm their latest tax withholding choices.
Employees Must Renew Exempt Tax Status Each Year
Employees who were tax exempt for 2009 will be notified directly of the renewal process for 2010. 2009 tax exempt status expires on February 16, 2010 and must be renewed by
submitting a 2010 W-4 form by Monday, February 15, 2010.
Earned Income Renewal
Employees who are eligible and wish to receive advance Earned Income Credit (EIC) payments for tax year 2010 need to submit a new 2010 Form W-5. Advance EIC payments for tax year 2009 expire as of December 31, 2009, and payments will discontinue unless a new 2010 W-5 is
