Payroll Office

Please Note: If you do not setup direct deposit your paycheck will be mailed to your permanent address on file. No staff/student will be allowed to pick up their check in our office on payday.  Our office is open for you to come in and setup your direct deposit.

Departments: Please contact Human Resources, VPAA, or the Student Employment Coordinator about the process to hire employees, faculty or students. Payroll can't pay new employees until they have completed all the necessary hiring steps in each office and are setup in the system by those offices.

Payroll Calendar

The payroll calendar shows important information and deadlines associated with time sheet due dates and approver deadlines. There are three different schedules: one for Non-Exempt Staff, one for Exempt Staff, and one for students so please make sure you are reading the correct one for your job classification.

Direct Deposit is the primary method of paying employees. You can setup your Direct Deposit information through the employee onboarding process (for new hires) or in the payroll office located in Morgan Hall Room 212.  Please bring a photo ID and a void check from your banking institution to setup or make changes to your current Direct Deposit.

Tax Forms

Payroll Tax Forms W-4 & K-4 (Federal and Kansas Withholding Allowance Certificates) must be turned into the payroll office for each employee. Your W-4 can be updated through your employee dashboard portal on my.washburn.edu.

2020 Form W-4 is very different than in previous years. We suggest you print the actual form, instructions, and worksheet below (under payroll forms) to review prior to you going to mywashburn and making a change.

Note: at this time to update your K-4 you will have to visit the payroll office to make a change to your Kansas withholding.

In order to file your tax returns, you must have a Form W-2 for the calendar year. Hard copy W-2 forms will be mailed to the permanent address on file each year no later than January 31.

Note: Our W-2 Form, box 14 only allows for three deduction amounts to be listed, if you have more than three amounts for this box you will receive a second W-2 with the additional amounts listed.

Mission and Regulations

The mission of the payroll office is to ensure that all employees of the University are paid timely and accurately while maintaining compliance with federal, state and University regulations and policies.  

Unfortunately in our current times of identity theft, for your security we may require you to visit our office (showing a photo ID) to make certain changes to your information and/or releasing any information. We understand that this may be a bit inconvenient but we must keep your personal data secure. Visiting the payroll office is considered part of your employee duties and supervisors should allow you time to conduct your payroll business during your normal working hours.
