The Challenge of Traditional W-2 Distribution
The conventional process for distributing W-2 forms entails the printing, folding, filing, and mailing of physical copies to employees. This methodology is rife with inefficiencies:
Time-consuming: Manual printing, addressing, and mailing are labor-intensive, diverting HR resources from strategic tasks.
Costly: Printing, paper, postage, and mailing fees add up, especially for large workforces.
Prone to Errors: Manual processes increase the risk of missing deliveries, incorrect addresses, and lost documents.
Environmentally unfriendly: Paper consumption and related waste contribute to environmental concerns.
