Instructions and Required Documents

Federal, state, and local regulations require all newly hired employees to complete various employment and tax forms. All newly hired employees must provide all required documents applicable to his/her position. These documents must be completed and returned to the Human Resources Office before any payments can be processed. Completed forms must be submitted ten working days prior to payday. If you have any questions, please contact our office at (724) 287-8711, Ext.8291.

Social Security Card

Required for payroll processing. All newly hired employees must present their Social Security Card within three (3) business days of employment. The College is required to enter your name and number as it appears on your Social Security card to ensure proper posting of earnings to your Social Security Records. If your name has changed, the College is required to continue to use your old name until you obtain a new Social Security Card with your new name. Using a name that does not match your Social Security Card may prevent posting of earnings to your Social Security records.


Any employee who cannot locate their Social Security Card may apply for a new card by completing Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card. This form is available online at WWW.SSA.GOV, the Social Security Administration Office, or by calling 1-800-772-1213.

The Local Services Tax for Butler Township, City of New Castle, City of Hermitage, Brockway Borough, and Cranberry Township will be $52.00 and withheld at a rate of $1.00 per week worked.


Employees expecting to earn less than $12,000 in the calendar year or employees who have multiple employers may complete the Application for Exemption from Local Services Tax to avoid having this tax deducted beginning with the first payroll of each year. This form along with all required supporting documents must be returned to the Human Resources Office.

If you fill out the form and have earned income over $12,000 in the calendar year a “catch-up” lump sum tax will be deducted from the following pay and the semi-monthly payroll deduction will be taken from all remaining pays in the calendar year.
