Payroll issues all W-2 forms. You may reach them at (603) 862-1400.  They are also available and accessible in electronic form by logging into your WISE account.

You only need to submit a W-4 when you have a change in marital status or the number of exemptions, or if you want additional money taken out. If you are non-status, you can use a W-4 to change your home mailing address. If you claim EXEMPT on your W-4, you need to submit a new W-4 each year by February 15 to continue claiming EXEMPT. Changes to your W-4 can be electronically by logging into your WISE account, or you can submit the form to HR Services, 2 Leavitt Lane.

You only need to submit one W-4 for all jobs

At the University of New Hampshire, we employ youths between the ages of 14 and 17. Youths between the ages of 14 and 15 are required to have working papers that have been signed by the parent or legal guardian. They get these working papers from their school system. Youths between the ages of 16 and 17 are required to have a State of New Hampshire Proof of Permission for the Employment of a Youth age 16 or 17 Form signed by the youth's parent or legal guardian permitting the employment on file with Human Resources. This written document is required even if the 17 year old youth has graduated from high school.
