San Bernardino County offers a Poll Worker Program for community volunteers (non-County employees) who support polling place operations throughout the County. Poll workers receive a stipend, depending on the role they are assigned, up to $175 per day. Central Payroll is required to issue a Form W-2 to poll workers who receive payments of $600 or more annually. Since poll workers are community volunteers and thus outside the County’s payroll system, their W-2s must be created on Social Security Administration’s Business Services Online (BSO). To save Central Payroll staff from the laborious and error-prone process of having to manually fill out and populate poll worker data into the BSO website to create a Form W-2, the Electronic W-2 Filling Solution was launched to provide automation tools to efficiently manage the W-2 generation process for poll workers.
