Client - Cox Communications, Inc.
Client Profile - The fifth largest cable provider
in the nation, Cox Communications, Inc., is a multi-service broadband
communications company serving approximately 6.3 million customers nationwide.
The company offers both traditional analog video programming, advanced
digital video programming and an array of other communications and entertainment
services, including local and long distance telephone service, high speed
internet access, and commercial voice and data services. With approximately
22,000 employees, the Cox team is widely regarded as the best in the cable
industry.
Challenge - Cox is responsible for providing
W-2 reprints to all employees in its 34 business units across the country.
Cox's corporate headquarters in Atlanta had to estimate the number of
reprints needed by all of the company's business units and purchase costly
tax forms to meet the needs of employees. Cox not only had to estimate
for the current tax year, but also had to consider employee requests for
tax information from previous years. Furthermore, the W-2c batch printing
method of their payroll software required starting over and issuing another
W-2c whenever an additional error was discovered. Keeping up with reissue
requests was time consuming, as was listening to complaints about W-2c
delivery time. Cox was looking for a solution that would provide their
employees with quick, accurate W-2 processing as well as allow access
to past year forms.
Solution - Cox purchased e-PRINTVIEW with multiple
years of W-2 data available to their employees. When rolling out the employee
self-service module of their payroll system, the e-PRINTVIEW link was
embedded for a seamless integration.
Results - Using e-PRINTVIEW, Cox employees can
now log in and print their own forms or receive them via email. Corporate
headquarters no longer needs to order thousands of expensive forms and,
since e-PRINTVIEW provides immediate access to all W-2 forms, Payroll
is no longer fielding complaints regarding turnaround time. And, the W-2c
process is very intuitive with e-PRINTVIEW. Cox has realized a substantial
reduction in the amount of reprints, forms and overnight delivery costs
previously incurred.
"With e-PRINTVIEW, our employees have immediate access to corrections
and reissues. e-PRINTVIEW has saved on the cost of forms and made tax
time easier for the Payroll Department and our employees."
