Everyone receiving salary or wages from the State must furnish his department with a signed withholding exemption certificate (form W-4 for Federal tax purposes and form IT-2104 for New York State purposes) relating to his status for the purpose of computing family exemptions. Persons who fail to file such exemption certificates are not entitled to exemptions and withholding will be at the rate of zero exemptions. Any change in exemption status should be reported to the employee's personnel office.
