Payroll Change Request Form: Fill & Download for Free

The implementation of the state of Queensland’s Health Payroll system is one of the most disastrous and embarrassing IT projects in Australia’s history.Around 2007, Queensland was evaluating several vendors in a bid for a project to replace the old payroll system. In a dubious and hasty procurement process, IBM was able to undertake a “dry run” of its presentation while its competitors were not.In December 2007, IBM and the State of Queensland signed a $6 million contract to replace the old payroll system by July 2008. They grossly underestimated the complexity of of the payroll system. Without the internal requirements being agreed upon, the scope was constantly changing and finally blew up both in time and cost. IBM continued to run the project and the state government kept signing off on the change requests and the project ultimately cost $1.25 billion (200 times the original price tag!)Under time pressure, the state government deliberately reduced the rigor of testing and allowed a flawed, incomplete system to go live in 2010. It has caused endless issues and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to operate and fix. Queensland has banned IBM from working on other government projects but lost an expensive, protracted legal battle against IBM to recover its losses.But that’s not the end of IBM’s debacle in Australia. The website developed by IBM for the Australian Bureau of Statistics crashed on census night when it couldn't cope with the number of people submitting forms online. The ABS's $470 million census collection for 2016 turned into an embarrassing PR disaster that infuriated the public and politicians.“Nobody gets fired for buying IBM”, how wrong could that be!

From IRS 2020 Publication 15, p.21: Effective date of Form W-4. A Form W-4 for 2019 or earlier years remains in effect for 2020 until the employee gives you a 2020 Form W-4. When you receive a new Form W-4 from an employee, don't adjust withholding for pay periods before the effective date of the new form. If an employee gives you a Form W-4 that replaces an existing Form W-4, begin withholding no later than the start of the first payroll period ending on or after the 30th day from the date when you received the replacement Form W-4. For exceptions, see Exemption from federal income tax withholding, IRS review of requested Forms W-4, and Invalid Forms W-4, later in this section.Comment: Most people believe that both laws and IRS rules are written in ‘legalese:’ “The party of the first part shall… The party of the second part…Both in state and federal laws, as well as IRS rules and regs, the ‘powers that be’ (Judges, Courts, Administrators, etc. insist on ‘plain English.’ Even the most complicated IRS forms are paired with comprehensive instructions that are, in essence, a ‘cookbook’ guide to completing the form. (Subtract Line 4 from Line 3 and enter here.) Half the battle is knowing where to look for these instructions.
