Yes! And even more! The Payroll Online Service Center has been designed for all state employees who are paid by the Central Payroll Bureau. First-time users are required to sign up. This requires some personalized data and unique information found on your most recent pay stub (see question above for details).

Note: When changing your address online, please also send an email to Gloria Coates (AGNR Payroll Manager)  gcoates@umd.edu so that she may update your PHR records with your new address.

You can also update Direct Deposit information, view duplicate W2 data for the most recent 3 years, and view/print 12 rolling months of most recent pay stub information.

INTERNAL EMPLOYEE REQUESTS

Send an email voe@umd.edu that includes:

• Name
• UID
• Last 4 digits of SSN
• Specific information requested
• A brief note authorizing Payroll Services to provide this information

(copied from https://finance.umd.edu/payroll/payroll-processing-miscellaneous/employment-wage-verification)

(Information copied from https://uhr.umd.edu/need-your-w2-or-paystub/)

The IRS requires W2s to be mailed out by January 31st.  After this date, request duplicate forms by calling the Central Payroll Bureau at 410-260-7964.

Most employees can print their W2s from the State of Maryland’s online payroll website.

If you are a new user, you will need to sign up.   You will need the UMD Agency Code (360222) and your last paycheck/pay advice number (only pay stubs issued within the last 8 weeks can be used).  For this information, current employees can access copies of their pay stubs on ARES.

Employees who terminated more than 8 weeks prior, lived in more than one state during the year, received a corrected W2, or who will be receiving a 1042S (Non-Resident Aliens for Tax Purposes) cannot use the online service and must call the Central Payroll Bureau directly.

If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Payroll Services at 301-405-5665.
