Employee Holiday Calendars - Academic, Clinic, UPG
You can view the full calendars at the link below for the Academic Division, UVA Health Clinic, and UVA Physicians Group. Workday automatically lists your specific holiday dates on your personal calendar. The annual holiday calendar schedules are posted in the fall for the following year.
Note: The deadlines on the payroll calendars indicate the last day that any hires, compensation changes, terminations, and any other transactions must be completed (not initiated) in order to ensure that they are included for the pay date for that period. Any transactions that are initiated or completed after the Data Entry & Approval Deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the pay date for that period. All payroll inputs and manual adjustments for the period are also due by the deadlines.

You should ensure that your pre-tax deductions (health insurance, retirement, etc.) have not changed drastically from one year to the next. Check to see if you received any type of bonus in the prior year that would have increased your total gross pay. If you did not receive a bonus in the current year as well, that would make it appear that you earned less in the current year despite having a higher base salary
For tax reporting purposes, wages are reported when they are paid, rather than when they are earned. Any December days worked and not actually paid in that month are considered earnings in the new year.
No, address changes do not require a corrected W-2 form.
UVA students enrolled on at least a half-time schedule are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes. Additionally, certain foreign nationals on specific visas also are exempt from these taxes
The explanations of these codes can be found on the reverse side of your W-2 form.
The W-2 Box 5 amount is taxable wages subject to Medicare taxes. This differs from your gross earnings because there are certain deductions that reduce your Medicare taxable wages, such as pretax medical/dental and vision insurance, and FSA Medical and Dependent Care. Retirement deposits and Tax-Deferred Savings Plans do not reduce your Medicare taxable wages. Medicare taxable wages do not have a cap amount in the year.
The W-2 Box 3 amount is taxable wages subject to Social Security taxes. This differs from your Gross Earnings because there are certain deductions that reduce your Social Security taxable wages, such as the pre-tax medical/dental and vision insurance, and FSA Medical and Dependent Care. Retirement deposits and Tax-Deferred Savings Plans do not reduce your Social Security taxable wages. There is also a cap on Social Security taxable wages each year employees with earnings in excess of this cap will no longer have a deduction for Social Security tax for the remainder of that year
The W-2 Box 1 amount is federal taxable wages equal gross earnings minus pre-tax deductions such as health/dental/vision insurance, retirement contributions, Tax-Deferred Savings Plans like 403(b) and 457 retirement accounts, and FSA Medical and Dependent Care.
All former employees will receive Form W-2 in the mail.
