Dear Â鶹´«Ã½ Staff,
Thank you again for your dedication and for all you have done throughout the summer to make Kent State great. This is a reminder that your summer flexible work arrangement and summer telecommuting agreement will expire on Friday, Aug. 5, 2022, and employees will return to their normal work schedule and location. On Monday, Aug. 8, 2022, all municipal tax withholdings will revert back to your home campus, unless approved for an ongoing telecommuting arrangement. As we approach the expiration of summer telecommuting, here are a few updates.
Update Municipal Tax Withholdings
On Monday, Aug. 8, 2022, all municipal tax withholdings previously based on your permanent home address will revert to your home campus at the beginning of the next pay period. Employees who moved during the summer months or plan to telecommute after Aug. 5 must execute a new Telecommuting Work Arrangement Form. Employees are also asked to update their permanent address in and email payroll@kent.edu to ensure appropriate taxation. Responsibility to update permanent addresses rests solely with the employee and may have tax implications.
