Departments that handle money in any form (cash, coin, checks, money orders, debit cards or credit cards) should review annually the Cash/Money Handling and Accounts Receivable Policy. During the review of this policy, the department needs to verify that they are following the procedures within this policy. For additional support please reference the Cash Handing and Accounts Receivable Presentation. Please contact Scott Olson at 8785 or olsons2@unk.edu if you had any questions.
As of January 16th, employees who elected to receive their W-2 via Firefly were able to access their 2023 W-2 document by logging into Firefly>Employee Self Service and clicking on the W-2 form tile.
Paper W-2 forms have been sent directly to employee’s permanent addresses listed in SAP/Firefly for distribution to those employees who either elected to receive a paper W2 or did not make an election for their W-2 method in Firefly. Please contact Payroll at 865-8184 if you have questions regarding W-2 documents.
