Welcome
Our Payroll Office is here to ensure a smooth and efficient process for all employees. We understand the importance of adhering to Federal, State, and City regulations, and we take great care in preparing accurate and timely payments for everyone.
Collaborating closely with the Business Office and the Office of Human Resources, we strive to streamline the payroll process. From verifying and auditing payments to analyzing data, our dedicated team works diligently to provide reliable service.
We handle various responsibilities, including the withholding and submission of Federal, State, and City taxes. We also manage time-sheets, annual leave, sick leave, overtime, and holiday compensation for Civil Service employees. Additionally, we address Non-Resident Alien taxing concerns for employees and facilitate Direct Deposits.
Rest assured, we are committed to providing support beyond payroll processing. Our office ensures the distribution of W2’s and offers reissued statements when needed.
We are here to assist you with any payroll-related questions or concerns. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we strive to create a welcoming environment for both employees and students at LaGuardia Community College.
