Obtaining your W-2 from Safeway, which is part of the Albertsons Companies family, is a process that can usually be completed through the company’s online employee services or by contacting the payroll or HR department directly. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get your W-2 form:
Online Access through Direct2HR
- Direct2HR Portal:
- Go to the Direct2HR Safeway website, which is the employee self-service portal.
- If you don’t have the URL, you can usually find it on the Safeway or Albertsons Companies official website or by asking your supervisor.
- Login:
- Enter your employee credentials to log in. This will be your username or employee number and password.
- If you have not used the system before, you may need to register for an account. Follow the on-screen instructions to do so.
- Access Your W-2:
- Once logged in, navigate to the section of the portal where tax forms are available. This is often labeled as ‘Tax Forms’, ‘W-2’, or ‘Payroll Documents’.
- Select the relevant year for the W-2 you need.
- View, Download, or Print:
- You should be able to view your W-2 electronically within the portal.
- There will typically be an option to download a PDF version of the form, which you can then print if you need a paper copy.
Requesting a W-2 by Mail
If you are unable to access your W-2 online, or if you have opted for paper delivery of your tax documents, Safeway will mail your W-2 form to the address they have on file for you. If you have moved and have not updated your address with Safeway, you should do so as soon as possible to ensure you receive your W-2.
Contacting HR or Payroll Department
If you encounter issues or have specific questions, you should contact the HR or payroll department:
- HR Support: Reach out to your store’s HR representative for assistance with accessing your W-2.
- Payroll Department: If there are any discrepancies or if you have not received your W-2, the payroll department can provide assistance or reissue the document.
Additional Tips
- Timing: Employers are required by law to send out W-2 forms by January 31st for the previous year’s earnings. If you haven’t received your W-2 by mid-February, it’s important to contact Safeway’s payroll department.
- Electronic Consent: If you’ve consented to receive your W-2 electronically, make sure to check your email, including the spam folder, for any communication from Safeway regarding your W-2.
- Former Employees: If you are no longer employed by Safeway, you should still be able to access your W-2 through Direct2HR if your account is active. If not, contact the HR department for guidance on how to obtain your documents.
Remember to keep your W-2 form secure as it contains sensitive information. If you are sending requests or updating information over email, ensure that you are using a secure method to protect your personal data.
