Getting Your W-2 Online

All employees are able to get their W-2 online through Lawson if they choose to opt-in for the online program.

Note: The program that allows employees to get their W-2 online (Lawson) is protected by a firewall because it contains a lot of sensitive information including social security numbers. This means you need to be on the APS network or have VPN access to "opt-in" for the online program. 

Employees Who Want To Get Their W-2 Online 

• If you are able to access the site to opt-in online, please do so. Instructions are below. 
• You only have to opt-in once, so if you already did this, you're good to go.  
• Employees who opt-in will be notified as soon as the online W-2 is posted in Lawson and available to view and access sometime before Jan. 31.
