Description: Cal Employee Connect (CEC) is the State Controller's web-based employee portal that allows you to view/print your paystubs and W-2 Statements. Employees who Opt-in to W-2 Paperless Statement will be able to view and download current and previous years’ W-2 statements using any internet-connected device. It will also grant them earlier access to their W-2 Wage and Tax Statement than employees who receive the printed version in the mail.

  • Expedites filing of your tax returns

Follow the steps to enroll in this optional program. If you choose not to enroll in the program, you will still receive your W-2 statement in the mail and will be able to view (but not download) your W-2 statement on CEC.
