Getting Your W-2 Online

Posted November 10, 2021, 1:30 PM. Updated January 26, 2026, 2:56 PM.

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. 

To Access Your W-2 Online 

  1. Sign in to Lawson using your employee ID (example: e123456) and email password
    (It is recommended that you don't save your password on the computer)
  2. Click on Bookmarks at the top left of the page
  3. Hover over Employee Self-Serve
  4. Hover over Pay
  5. Click on W2

Choose Delivery Setting: Opt-In or Opt-Out
