CEC is the new secure employee self-service portal available to all active Civil Service and California State University Employees.
CEC is the new employee self-service portal available to all active Civil Service and California State University Employees. It is a secure self-service portal, which allows employees to view, print, and electronically save their own Form W-2s, leave balances, direct-deposit earnings statements, and more.
Earnings Statements
There are two ways to view/download/print earnings statements:
- Homepage will show the employee’s most recent three earning statements.
- Earnings Tab will show the employee’s last 36 months of earnings statements.
Note: CEC will only show payments processed by the State Controller's Office Payroll System.
Leave Balances
Leave balances are only available for employees who use the California Leave Accounting System (CLAS). Balances shown on CEC will have a month lag of leave information, which is consistent with the employees’ most recent earnings statement.
Form W-2s
Form W-2 Paperless Feature Now Available on CEC!
Employees who “opt-in” to use this feature will be able to view and download current and previous years’ Form W-2’s using any internet-connected device.
Employees who do not “opt-in” will have view only access to their current and previous years’ Form W-2s.
