Payroll processes and distributes salary and wage payments to UNM faculty, staff and student employees. Additional responsibilities include withholding and remitting employment taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the state of New Mexico; preparing and reporting year-end tax information including IRS Forms W-2 and 1042S. Payroll is also responsible for nonresident alien tax status evaluation; tax treaty compliance; insurance vendor payments; tax deferred annuity enrollment and vendor payments; retirement reporting and vendor payments; enrollment for U.S. Savings Bonds; and servicing third party garnishments.

Effective December 1 2009, the Payroll reception area will be open from 10:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Telephone calls to the 277-2353 number will continue to be answered from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and drop offs can be delivered throughout the day by leaving paper work in the metal drop box located south of the three windows of the Payroll Office. We encourage all university employees to continue using LoboWeb for the various options that are available online, including pay stub information, changes to direct deposits, mailing address and W4 information.

The Payroll Department will be changing its physical location on Friday, February 3, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The move will be completed in time for the start of business Tuesday, February 7, 2012. The Payroll Department will remain in the Perovich Business Center but will be moving from the first floor to the third floor, in Suite 3600. This new location will require that our customers use the elevator or the stairs to reach us. Directions to the new location will be marked, and new permanent signage is on order. We have been working diligently with the Office of Capital Projects to ensure a smooth and rapid transition. The Payroll Office will be open for business on the days of the move but our ability to conduct face-to-face and phone business will be limited and we ask, if at all possible, that you hold business transactions until Tuesday, February 7. A drop box, currently located outside Suite 3100 just to the right of the elevators, is available for document-drop off throughout the entire course of the move. The phone numbers for all Payroll Department personnel will remain the same but on the days of the move connectivity to the upstairs offices will be gradually transitioned. We expect to be functioning at our normal level of efficiency by Tuesday, February 7. As always, thank you for your patience and support.
