Payroll & Hire

Please read carefully as there are two different payment situations:

Please complete these forms. I will also have them here in the office if that is more convenient.

• Federal Tax W4
• Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification
• Iowa Tax W4
• The auto-deposit form is downloadable for your convenience: Please attach a bank deposit ticket or canceled/voided check to this form.
• Hiring Information Form
• If you are a non-U.S. Citizen you may read this information regarding filling out the Federal W4.

If you are only teaching one course for the whole year, you will be paid through Accounting. In this case, please send us a completed W9 Form. The address which you include on this form is where your check will be sent.
