Newest ESS Makes Changes Easier

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 7, 2010) — University of Kentucky employees may now enter or update tax withholding information (W4, K4) through myUK Employee Self-Service (ESS).  This convenient new feature allows employees to update this information (such as changing the number of exemptions) entirely online, with no paper forms required.  

The latest ESS enhancements add to a growing array of tools making it easier for UK employees to enroll in benefits, update financial and contact information and much more.

Recent additions to ESS are part of an overall system upgrade, which includes enhanced progress (step-by-step) indicators on many existing features.  These updates also provide the foundation for future improvements, including customized professional development plans and manager self-service features, among others.
