"Once you've chosen the right candidate – someone who will bring enthusiasm to the first day of work – why burden them with a labor-intensive process at the start," commented Angela Lockman, TALX vice president of Product Management. "Electronic onboarding not only reduces the cost of collecting, reporting and retaining employee data, but also enhances the experience for new employees. Now, iW-4 further improves that process, providing a more efficient, user-friendly experience for both new hires and employers."

W-4 exemption claim form requirements vary by federal, state and local jurisdictions, and regulations often change. TALX paperless iW-4 frees companies from the burden of staying up-to-date with requirements and simplifies onboarding by automatically presenting and pre-populating the correct W-4 forms based on employer and employee data. Available 24-hours a day, TALX iW-4 provides additional convenience to employees who can complete and update the forms at any time. Built-in intelligence validates the submitted data for accuracy and automatically calculates required values to reduce errors. Once completed and electronically signed, the forms are saved and accessible to both employers and employees.  Further streamlining practices, iW-4 integrates with HR and Payroll systems to ensure data is correct and updated across all processes.

"Following the success of our most recent onboarding offering – Wage Theft Prevention Act solution – TALX continues to strategically build a comprehensive set of innovative solutions to help our customers achieve compliance and bring added efficiencies to their HR, Payroll and tax-related processes," noted Dann Adams, president of TALX. "As more employers migrate to paperless processes, a hassle-free onboarding experience is increasingly important to help employees feel welcome and add value immediately."
