Do you hire and onboard new employees? Is your current process bogged down with tracking if the employee signed all the essential paperwork in their new hire package, particularly the Federal IRS W-4? 

The IRS allows eSignature for many of its official documents, so why not start improving your new hire experience today?  

 


 

💰 IRS W-4 Overview  

 

In the United States, the IRS W-4 “Emplyoee’s Holding Certificate” is familiar to both employees and employers. The W-4 is essential for employees to complete to ensure the correct amount of federal income tax is withheld from their paychecks. Employers are required to send their new hires the form and calculate the correct withholding amount from the employee’s pay. 

In our newest “Template Tutorial” Video, one of our expert Docusign University (DSU) Instructors ​@Glen.Steinhardt gives you step-by-step guidance for using the DSU Template Library’s sample W-4 to get started with creating and implementing your W-4 agreement workflow.
