Payroll Office

Welcome to the BSC Payroll Office web site.

The Payroll Office oversees all aspects of employee compensation relating to attendance, wages, deductions, statute, collective bargaining agreements and applicable state and federal laws that govern all employees.

Our mission is to provide timely and accurate payroll services in a professional manner while maintaining compliance with campus and Commonwealth of Massachusetts policies and guidelines, collective bargaining provisions and State and Federal laws.

Since these topics are important to all employees, we have tried to include as much information as possible at this website. We have included related links and access to downloadable forms. If you are unable to find specific payroll information, please feel free to contact us at ext. 1741 or stop by our office.

We are located in Boyden Hall Room 103 behind the Human Resources Department. Our office hours are Monday- Friday 8:00 am- 5:00 pm.

Payroll Bulletin- News and Information

*2008 W-2 Forms      The 2008 W-2's have been sent to each employee's mailing address. If you are a part-time employee, student or visiting lecturer, you may receive two W-2 forms: one from Bridgewater State College and one from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.      Also please keep in mind that the Department referenced on the return address of the W-2 from the Commonwealth is pulled from the employees last effective active job record in 2008. It is not based on an employee's departmental earnings. The department on the return address is not the employer. Employee's employer is the "Commonwealth of Massachusetts".      If you have questions regarding differences on the total gross earnings on your last pay advice compared to you W-2, please refer to the handout that was enclosed in your W-2 from the Commonwealth. If you need another copy of this handout, please click here.
