Western Human Resources issues T4s and some T4As by the end of February each year. They are mailed to the home address that is registered on My Human Resources. If you have moved recently, please make sure your address is updated by going online at My Human Resources or by completing and submitting a Personal Data Form.
If your original T4/T4A slips are returned to Western by Canada Post, they will be mailed to you again by Human Resources, as long as you have provided us with your new address.

Please note: Human Resources does not distribute a T4A for scholarships and bursaries, and we do not distribute T2202A receipts (Tuition and Education Amounts Certificates). These are issued by the Office of the Registrar.
