Freeman Company notifying employees after W-2 mail mix-up

Posted on February 10, 2014 by Dissent

Yes, it’s that time of the year again, and this week’s tax records mailing error report concerns Freeman Company in Texas.  Freeman uses ADP to prepare their W-2’s, and ADP, in turn, contracts with a mailing firm.  In this case, the unnamed mailing vendor had a glitch with their technology that resulted in incorrect barcodes on the envelopes and some employees getting other employees’ W-2 forms.

You can read their notification letter here.
