New work-study employees: Please submit forms W-4 (federal withholding) and VA-4 (Commonwealth of Virginia withholding) to the Payroll Office in a timely manner. If these forms are not received, we are required to withhold taxes at the maximum rate (single with no exemptions).

Returning work-study employees: You need not resubmit tax forms unless you wish to change your current withholding status.

Direct deposit: Direct deposit is now available to work-study employees.
