We are happy to announce that Cal Employee Connect (CEC) has expanded access to the CEC Employee Services feature to include Withholdings Changes. The withholdings change feature has been created as an additional self-serve option and, going forward, all withholding updates will be administered through CEC. At this time, there is no action required.
If you want to make changes to your withholdings, please enable Multifactor Authentication (MFA) by selecting User Profile, select Turn-On MFA, and follow instructions within the application to download an authenticator app to your phone. This also adds an extra layer of security to your CEC account.
The next step is submitting your withholdings change:
Select Employee Services from the top navigation bar and follow instructions within the application.
Note:
- CEC processes withholdings change requests by close of business Monday through Friday; please allow 24 hours for submitted changes to reflect in your CEC account. If the change is submitted Friday evening through Sunday, the changes will be processed the following Monday and changes may reflect in your CEC account as early as Tuesday morning.
- The CEC Team is a technical team and unable to advise on withholdings change. If you have any questions regarding your withholdings change, please refer to the IRS website.
For technical questions or assistance with the withholdings change feature, please contact the CEC team at Help & Feedback or refer to the CEC Withholding Change User Guide.
