How to View Your Jefferson University Pay Stubs
Current and previous pay statements are available through the Pay application in Workday.
Step 1: Sign in to Workday
Go to workday.jefferson.edu, choose the appropriate sign-in option and enter your authorized login credentials.
Step 2: Open the Pay application
From the Workday home page, select View All Apps, followed by Pay.
Depending on the version of Workday displayed on your device, you may instead select Menu in the upper-left corner and choose Pay from the list of applications.
Step 3: Select Payslips
Within the Pay application, locate the View section and select Payslips. Workday will display the pay statements available for your account.
Step 4: View or print the required payslip
Find the relevant pay period and choose the appropriate action:
- Select View to open the payslip.
- Select Print to generate a printable copy.
If you merely need the statement for your records, saving a secure electronic copy can be more convenient—and considerably less wasteful—than printing it.
What Information Appears on a Workday Payslip?
A Workday payslip generally provides a detailed account of how your payment was calculated. Depending on your employment and payroll circumstances, the statement may include:
- Pay-period beginning and ending dates
- Check or payment date
- Check number, when applicable
- Gross pay
- Employee taxes
- Pre-tax deductions
- Post-tax deductions
- Net pay
- Current and year-to-date totals
- Taxable earnings and tax-free reimbursements
- Employer-paid benefits
- Federal, state and local withholding details
- Direct-deposit or other payment information
Reviewing each payslip promptly is a sound habit. It allows you to catch discrepancies while the details are still fresh and raise any concerns before a small error snowballs into a larger problem.
How to Access Your Jefferson W-2 Online
Jefferson employees can retrieve available W-2 and corrected W-2C forms through the My Tax Documents section of Workday.
Step 1: Open the Pay application
After signing in, select Pay from the Applications area of the Workday dashboard.
Step 2: Expand the View menu
In the View section, select More if the full list of options is not already visible.
Step 3: Select My Tax Documents
Choose My Tax Documents to display the tax statements currently available for your account.
Step 4: Open the required tax form
Locate the appropriate tax year and document type, then select View/Print. Workday will prepare the form so that you can view, download or print it.
Store downloaded tax documents in a secure location because they contain sensitive personal and financial information.
What Should I Do If a W-2C Is Available?
A W-2C is a corrected Wage and Tax Statement issued when information on an original W-2 requires amendment.
If Workday displays both a W-2 and one or more W-2C forms, open and retain every document for which the View/Print option is available. A W-2C normally corrects specific entries rather than replacing every figure on the original statement; consequently, you may need both documents when preparing your tax return or consulting a tax professional.
Can I Receive My W-2 Electronically?
Employees may be able to elect paperless delivery for eligible tax documents, including W-2 and 1095-C statements. Electronic delivery has several practical advantages:
- Earlier access to documents once they are released
- Less risk of postal delays or misplaced mail
- Convenient access from any internet-connected computer
- Easy downloading and secure digital storage
- Reduced paper consumption
Follow the instructions shown within Workday to review or change your document-delivery preferences. Your election may remain in effect until you withdraw it or your employment circumstances change.
Employees who receive paper copies should ensure that their home address is correct in Workday. Jefferson generally mails required W-2 statements for the preceding calendar year by January 31, subject to applicable deadlines and delivery arrangements.
How to Use the Workday Mobile App
The Workday mobile app offers a convenient way to review payroll information when you are away from a desktop computer.
To begin:
- Download the official Workday app from your device’s authorized app store.
- Enter jeffersonhealth as the organization code.
- Follow the prompts to reach Jefferson’s authentication page.
- Select the appropriate sign-in method and complete any required verification.
- Open the Pay area to locate available payslips and tax documents.
Although the mobile app is suitable for viewing records, downloading or printing a tax document may be easier from a desktop or laptop computer.
Additional Features of Jefferson Employee Self-Service
Workday Employee Self-Service is more than a repository for pay statements. Depending on your role and account permissions, it may also allow you to:
- Enroll in or update direct deposit
- Review pay records
- Change W-4 tax-withholding elections
- Update your home address and telephone number
- Review benefit-enrollment information
- Search and apply for employment opportunities

Keeping this information up to date can help prevent delayed tax documents, incorrect withholding and interruptions to payroll communications.
