<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Update – we have successfully tested and migrated a fix to the issue below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">One thing to note: During our testing we found that if an employee who submitted a new W-4 for 2020 had checked the box for multiple jobs (or spouse works) in step 2 on the federal form, the system actually calculated
their withholding correctly. Therefore, this issue only affected those who submitted a new W-4 without that box checked.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">It has recently come to our attention that some employees federal income taxes are being over withheld due to a system bug. The affected employees are those who have submitted a
new W-4 for 2020. We are currently working with the system programmers to rectify the situation. We hope to have a fix in place by February Run 2 so any over withheld Federal Income tax will be systematically refunded to the employee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Please note: federal income tax withheld is a component of the state tax withholding formula so there will likely be a small adjustment to the employee’s state tax withheld as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
