Withholdings Change - Employee Self-Service via Cal Employee Connect (CEC) 

Cal Employee Connect (CEC) Employee Services feature has expanded to include a withholdings change feature. The withholdings change feature has been created as an additional self-serve option. If you already have current withholdings on file, you do not need to submit a new request through CEC. Refer to CEC Withholdings Change User Guide for step-by-step instructions.

  • CEC processes Withholdings change requests by close of business Monday through Friday; please allow 24 hours for submitted changes to reflect in your CEC account. If the change is submitted Friday evening through Sunday, the changes will be processed the following Monday and changes may reflect in your CEC account as early as Tuesday morning.
  • The CEC Team is a technical team and unable to advise on withholdings change. If you have any questions regarding your Withholdings change, please refer to the IRS website.

For technical questions or technical assistance with the withholdings change feature, please contact the CEC team at Help & Feedback.


Annual W-2 Forms

Employees who opted in to the “W-2 Paperless Statement” feature are be able to view and download their current and previous Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement (Form W-2) electronically in Cal Employee Connect

Annual paper W-2 forms were mailed directly from the State Controller’s Office to an employee’s address on record with Human Resources.  Employees that enrolled by November 30 in the new “W-2 Paperless” feature in Cal Employee Connect will not receive the paper version in the mail.

The “W-2 Paperless Statement” feature enrollment period is now open on Cal Employee Connect (CEC). This feature is available annually for employees to “opt-in” from February 1 to November 30.

Employees that have not received their W-2 in the mail by January 31st, please submit an HR Service ticket go.csuci.edu/hrservices for assistance.

For more questions or information regarding your W-2, refer to the State Controller's 2023 W-2 FAQ's page.
