What is Glacier:
It is an international taxation web site used by the University of Kansas to determine an international employee's tax status.
Purpose:
Glacier determines if the international employee is qualified for extra withholding exemptions and/or tax treaty benefits, as well as provides Payroll with other necessary tax information.
After the Payroll Department has entered a new hire on the system, a detailed notice from Payroll will be sent to the employee, as well as a notice from the Glacier website, instructing them on how to log onto the site.
At the end of the Glacier session, forms will be generated for the employee to print, sign and date, and then submit to Payroll. If the employee qualifies for tax treaty benefits, tax treaty forms will also be generated for the employee to print. For security purposes, it is not recommended that forms are emailed.
Forms may be submitted to the Payroll Office by:
By scheduling an appointment to come to the Payroll Office
Drop Box - located on the loading dock on the East side of Carruth O'Leary
Please note that Glacier is used by various financial departments at the University of Kansas. It is important that you direct your paperwork and questions to the requesting department.
