New Hires
Newly hired employees must complete a federal I-9 form, W-4 and M-4 forms for federal and state income tax, and provide the College with his or her Social Security number. To change your withholdings from year to year please complete a new form and submit to Human Resources.
If you do not have a Social Security number, one can be obtained from the Social Security Office in North Adams. Application forms are available in Human Resources.
All employees are subject to federal income tax withholding, Massachusetts income tax withholding, and Social Security (FICA) tax withholding.
You are always welcome to privately discuss individual questions with a member of the Human Resources team. Please contact Christa Waryas at extension 4479 or email Christa.A.Waryas@williams.edu.

I was born and raised in Adams, MA and came to Williams in 1988. I have always been an avid New England Sports fan, and enjoy biking and cross country skiing. Over the years I have grown to appreciate the beauty and serenity of living in the Berkshires.
