Sample Letter to Employees


Dear {Employee},

We are pleased to offer electronic delivery of your W-2 for 2019. Your W-2 will be available for viewing and downloading in PDF format by logging into your employee portal. In order to receive your W-2 electronically instead of a paper copy, you will need to give your consent before [date].

· Login to your employee portal now at www.payrolltime.com

· In the left menu, click “W-2 Forms.

·In order to only receive an electronic copy of your W-2, select the first option. This means you will not receive a paper copy of your W-2. The full IRS-required consent notice is available for you to view.

· If you wish to still receive a paper copy, keep the second option selected.

Note that an electronic PDF version will still be available for you to view, regardless of which option you choose. You will receive an email notification when your W-2 is available for viewing by January 31st, and will be able to download and save the PDF from the “W-2 Forms” page.

If you have any questions, please contact ________.
