Additional amount to be withheld per paycheck $ 3 • • I hereby elect an Arizona withholding percentage of zero, and I certify that I meet BOTH of the following qualifying conditions for this election: I had NO Arizona tax liability for the prior taxable year, AND I expect to have NO Arizona tax liability for the current taxable year. I certify that I have made the percentage election marked above. SIGNATURE DATE EMPLOYEE’S INSTRUCTIONS Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) §43-401 requires your employer to withhold Arizona income tax from your compensation paid for services performed in Arizona for application toward your Arizona income tax liability. Arizona withholding is a percentage of your gross taxable wages of every paycheck. “Gross taxable wages” is the amount from each paycheck that will be included in box 1 of your federal Form W-2 at the end of the calendar year (i.e. gross wages net of pretax deductions, such as your portion of health insurance premiums). You may also have your employer withhold an additional amount from each paycheck. Complete this form to elect an Arizona withholding percentage and any additional amount to be withheld from each paycheck. Give the completed form to your employer. Current Employees ALL EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THIS FORM FOR WAGES PAID AFTER JUNE 30, 2010. Complete this form to elect an Arizona withholding percentage and designate an additional amount to be withheld. If you want to increase or decrease the amount of Arizona withholding in the future, you must complete this form again to change the Arizona withholding percentage or change the additional amount withheld. New Employees Complete this form within the first five days of employment to elect an Arizona withholding percentage. You may also have your employer withhold an ADOR 91-0041 (6/10) additional amount from each paycheck. If you do not complete this form, the department requires your employer to withhold 2.7% of your gross taxable wages until your employer receives a completed form from you. Electing a Withholding Percentage of Zero You may elect an Arizona withholding percentage of zero if you meet BOTH of the qualifying conditions for the election. You qualify for the election if: (1) you had no Arizona income tax liability for the prior taxable year, AND (2) you expect to have no Arizona income tax liability for the current taxable year. Note that Arizona tax liability is gross tax liability less any tax credits, such as the family tax credit, school tax credits, welfare tax credits, or credits for taxes paid to other states. If you make this election, your employer will not withhold Arizona income tax from your wages for payroll periods beginning after the date of your election. You should be aware that zero withholding does not relieve you from paying Arizona income taxes that might be due at the time you file your Arizona income tax return. Keep in mind that in order to elect zero withholding, you must meet BOTH conditions listed above. Therefore, if you have an Arizona tax liability when you file your return or if at any time during the current year conditions change so that you expect to have a tax liability, you should immediately complete a new Form A-4 and choose a withholding percentage that is applicable to your situation. Employee’s Arizona Withholding Percentage Election Voluntary Withholding Election by Certain Nonresident Employees Compensation earned by nonresidents while physically performing work or services in Arizona for temporary periods is subject to Arizona income tax. However, under the provisions of ARS §43-403(A)(5), compensation paid to certain nonresident employees is not subject to Arizona income tax withholding. These nonresident employees need to review their situations and determine whether they should elect to have Arizona income taxes withheld from their wages or compensation. Nonresident employees may request that their employer withhold Arizona income taxes from their Arizona source compensation by completing this form to elect an Arizona withholding percentage. How do I Determine Which Percentage to Elect? In an effort to assist employees in electing a withholding percentage, the following simple examples are provided for general guidance. However, each employee must take into consideration the particular facts of their own situation and adjust their election accordingly. If you want to keep your withholding approximately the same as last year, you can use your federal Form W-2 for 2009 or your last pay stub to calculate which withholding percentage to elect. For example, if box 1 of federal Form W-2 shows $40,000 in wages and box 17 shows $1,000 in state income tax withheld, divide box 17 by box 1 to determine your percentage (1,000 / 40,000 = .025 or 2.5%). In order to keep your withholding the same as 2009, choose 1.8% (40,000 x .018 = 720) and an additional $10.77 per biweekly pay period (1,000 - 720 = 280 / 26 = 10.77). Be sure to take into account any amount already withheld for 2010. ARIZONA FORM A-4 If you want to withhold more, choose one of the higher percentages or choose to have an additional amount withheld. CAUTION: Underwithholding can result in payment of tax due when you file your Arizona return and/or underpayment penalties. If you would rather more closely approximate your tax liability from last year, use your tax liability from your 2009 Arizona income tax return. Divide that number by the number of paydays in calendar year 2010. This will be the amount of withholding you will try to have withheld out of each paycheck. For instance, if your 2009 tax liability was $1,500 and you are paid every two weeks (26 paydays a year) divide $1,500 by 26 (1,500 / 26 = 57.69). This is your withholding goal per paycheck. Next, divide your withholding goal by your biweekly gross taxable wages, $2,000 in this example, to determine the percentage of withholding to gross taxable wages (57.69 / 2,000 = .028845 or 2.88%). An election of 2.7% would result in $54.00 (2,000 x 2.7% = 54) withheld for Arizona from each paycheck ($1,404 annually), while electing 3.6% would result in $72.00 (2,000 x 3.6% = 72) withheld for Arizona from each paycheck ($1,872 annually). Be sure to take into account any amount already withheld for 2010. Example: This example assumes these wages are your only income and your employment situation is the same as last year. If you are paid every two weeks and last year’s federal Form W-2 shows $52,000 in box 1 and $1,800 in box 17, $900 has already been withheld from your paychecks for 2010, there are 13 paychecks remaining in the calendar year, and you want to keep your withholding approximately the same, the following worksheet shows how to keep your Arizona withholding the same. Example: Line 1: Annual gross taxable wages. Line 2: Number of paychecks per year. Line 3: Divide line 1 by line 2. This is wages per paycheck. Line 4: Annual withholding goal. Line 5: Amount already withheld. Line 6: Balance of withholding for the calendar year. Line 7: Number of paychecks remaining in the calendar year. Line 8: Divide line 6 by line 7. This is your Arizona withholding goal per paycheck. Line 9: Percentage: divide line 8 by line 3. Line 10: Withholding percentage that is less than line 9. Check this box on line 1 of Form A-4. Line 11: Multiply line 10 by line 3. Line 12: Subtract line 11 from line 8. Enter this amount in the additional amount space on line 1 of Form A-4. ADOR 91-0041 (6/10) $52,000 26 52000 / 26 = $1,800 $900 1800 - 900 = 13 900 / 13 = Your Calculation: $2,000 $ 900 $69.23 69.23 / 2000 = 2.7% 3.4615% 2.7% x 2000 = 69.23 - 54.00 = $54.00 $15.23 Form W-4 (2010) Purpose. Complete Form W-4 so that your employer can withhold the correct federal income tax from your pay. Consider completing a new Form W-4 each year and when your personal or financial situation changes. Exemption from withholding. If you are exempt, complete only lines 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 and sign the form to validate it. Your exemption for 2010 expires February 16, 2011. See Pub. 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax. Note. You cannot claim exemption from withholding if (a) your income exceeds $950 and includes more than $300 of unearned income (for example, interest and dividends) and (b) another person can claim you as a dependent on his or her tax return. Basic instructions. If you are not exempt, complete the Personal Allowances Worksheet below. The worksheets on page 2 further adjust your withholding allowances based on itemized deductions, certain credits, adjustments to income, or two-earners/multiple jobs situations. Complete all worksheets that apply. However, you may claim fewer (or zero) allowances. For regular wages, withholding must be based on allowances you claimed and may not be a flat amount or percentage of wages. payments using Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. Otherwise, you may owe additional tax. If you have pension or annuity income, see Pub. 919 to find out if you should adjust your withholding on Form W-4 or W-4P. Head of household. Generally, you may claim head of household filing status on your tax return only if you are unmarried and pay more than 50% of the costs of keeping up a home for yourself and your dependent(s) or other qualifying individuals. See Pub. 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information, for information. Two earners or multiple jobs. If you have a working spouse or more than one job, figure the total number of allowances you are entitled to claim on all jobs using worksheets from only one Form W-4. Your withholding usually will be most accurate when all allowances are claimed on the Form W-4 for the highest paying job and zero allowances are claimed on the others. See Pub. 919 for details. Tax credits. You can take projected tax credits into account in figuring your allowable number of withholding allowances. Credits for child or dependent care expenses and the child tax credit may be claimed using the Personal Allowances Worksheet below. See Pub. 919, How Do I Adjust My Tax Withholding, for information on converting your other credits into withholding allowances. Nonwage income. If you have a large amount of nonwage income, such as interest or dividends, consider making estimated tax Nonresident alien. If you are a nonresident alien, see Notice 1392, Supplemental Form W-4 Instructions for Nonresident Aliens, before completing this form. Check your withholding. After your Form W-4 takes effect, use Pub. 919 to see how the amount you are having withheld compares to your projected total tax for 2010. See Pub. 919, especially if your earnings exceed $130,000 (Single) or $180,000 (Married). Personal Allowances Worksheet (Keep for your records.)

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that no employee under any circumstances comes to work under the influence of drugs or alcohol and to ensure all employees abide by the laws pertaining to alcohol and drug use while at work. No person may consume or be under the influence of drugs or alcohol while attending classes, at any official meetings, or while fulfilling employment responsibilities. Employees must conduct themselves in a responsible and professional manner at all times. Covered Workers Any individual who conducts business for the college, is applying for a position or is conducting business on the college's property is covered by our drug-free workplace policy. Our policy includes, but is not limited to the President, executive staff, managers, supervisors, full-time employees, part-time employees, off-site employees, contractors, volunteers, interns, and applicants. Applicability Our drug-free workplace policy is intended to apply whenever anyone is representing or conducting business for the college. Therefore, this policy applies during all working hours, whenever conducting business or representing the college, while on call, paid standby, while on college property, at college-sponsored events, and while attending classes and field trips. Exceptions to this policy for special events may be granted with prior permission. Prohibited Behavior The college strictly prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of controlled substances and alcohol on college premises or while participating in any college activity. Prescription and overthe-counter drugs are not prohibited when taken in standard dosage and/or according to a physician's prescription. Any employee taking prescribed or over-the-counter medications will be responsible for consulting the prescribing physician and/or pharmacist to ascertain whether the medication may interfere with safe performance of his/her job. If the use of a medication could compromise the safety of the employee, fellow employees or the public, it is the employee's responsibility to use appropriate human resource procedures (e.g., call in sick, use leave, request change of duty, notify supervisor, notify Human Resources Department) to avoid unsafe workplace practices. The illegal or unauthorized use of prescription drugs is prohibited. It is a violation of our drug-free workplace policy to intentionally misuse and/or abuse prescription medications. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken if job performance deterioration and/or other accidents occur. Notification of Convictions Any employee who is convicted of a criminal drug or alcohol violation must notify the college in writing within five calendar days of the conviction. The college will take appropriate action within 30 days of notification. Local, state, and federal contracting agencies will be notified when appropriate. Searches Entering the college's property constitutes consent to searches and inspections. If an individual is suspected of violating the drug-free workplace policy, he or she may be asked to submit to a search or inspection at any time. Searches can be conducted of college property. Drug Testing To ensure the accuracy and fairness of our testing program, all testing will be conducted according to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) guidelines where applicable and will include a comprehensive screening test; a confirmation test; the opportunity for a split sample; review by a Medical Review Officer, including the opportunity for employees who test positive to provide a legitimate medical explanation, such as a physician's prescription, for the positive result; and a documented chain of custody. All drug-testing information will be maintained in separate confidential records. Each employee, as a condition of employment, will be required to participate in post-accident or reasonable suspicion testing upon selection or request of management. Pre-employment testing may be required for employees in safety-sensitive areas related to certification or agency requirements. Prescreening testing may include but is not limited to such substances as amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, alcohol, and barbiturates. Testing for the presence of alcohol may be conducted by breath or blood analysis. Testing for the presence of the metabolites of drugs may be conducted by the urinalysis. Post-accident and reasonable suspicion testing will include a comprehensive analysis. Any employee who tests positive will be immediately removed from duty, referred to a substance abuse professional for assessment and recommendations, required to successfully complete recommended rehabilitation including continuing care. The employee will be required to pass a fitness-for-duty examination and sign a Return-to-Work Agreement. Upon learning of allegations of non-compliance that may constitute cause, the President may initiate Due Process Procedure 2755. http://www.npc.edu/node/379 An employee will be subject to the same consequences of a positive test if he/she refuses the screening or the test, adulterates or dilutes the specimen, substitutes the specimen with that from another person or sends an imposter, will not sign the required forms or refuses to cooperate in the testing process in such a way that prevents completion of the test. Consequences One of the goals of our drug-free workplace program is to encourage employees to voluntarily seek help with alcohol and/or drug problems. If, however, an individual violates the policy, the consequences are serious. In the case of applicants, if he or she violates the drug-free workplace policy, the offer of employment can be withdrawn. The applicant may reapply after one year and must successfully pass a pre-employment drug test if they are applying for a safety sensitive position. If an employee violates the policy, he or she may be subject to disciplinary action and may be required to enter rehabilitation. Nothing in this policy prohibits the employee from being disciplined or discharged for other violations and/or performance problems. Return-to-Work Agreements Following a violation of the drug-free workplace policy, an employee may be offered an opportunity to participate in rehabilitation. In such cases, the employee must sign and abide by the terms set forth in a Returnto-Work Agreement as a condition of continued employment. Assistance Northland Pioneer College recognizes that alcohol and drug abuse and addiction are treatable illnesses. We also realize that early intervention and support improve the success of rehabilitation. To support our employees, our drug-free workplace policy: • • • • • Encourages employees to seek help if they are concerned that they or their family members may have a drug and/or alcohol problem. Encourages employees to utilize the services of qualified professionals in the community to assess the seriousness of suspected drug or alcohol problems and identify appropriate sources of help. Ensures the availability of a current list of community professionals. Offers all employees and their family members assistance with alcohol and drug problems through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Allows the use of accrued paid leave while seeking treatment for alcohol and other drug problems. Treatment for alcoholism and/or other drug use disorders may be covered by the employee benefit plan. However, the ultimate financial responsibility for recommended treatment belongs to the employee. Confidentiality All information received by the college through the drug-free workplace program is confidential communication. Access to this information is limited to those who have a legitimate need to know in compliance with relevant laws and management policies. Shared Responsibility A safe and productive drug-free workplace is achieved through cooperation and shared responsibility. Both employees and supervisors have important roles to play. All employees are required to not report to work or be subject to duty while their ability to perform job duties is impaired due to on- or off-duty use of alcohol or other drugs. In addition, employees and supervisors are encouraged to: • • • • Be concerned about working in a safe environment. Support fellow workers in seeking help. Use the Employee Assistance Program. Report dangerous behavior to their supervisor. Communication Communicating our drug-free workplace policy to both supervisors and employees is critical to our success. To ensure all employees are aware of their role in supporting our drug-free workplace program: • • All employees have access to the policy. The policy will be reviewed in orientation sessions with new employees [Based on Policy #1560; Rev 01/26/2010] NEED ASSISTANCE?
