    To better reflect current university branding, the TTUnews@tntech.edu mailbox will migrate to News@tntech.edu. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to bookmark the new email address for use going forward. While this change is already live, it may take a few days to show up in all systems.

If approved, the student’s faculty members/instructors will receive a notification via email with a link to the absence memorandum with documented dates of absence.

  • 2022 W-2 Availability

    Electronic W-2s are now available online for employees!

    Access to Electronic W-2s. First log into TechExpress (https://express.tntech.edu). Select the “Eagle” button from the Quicklinks area. This will take you to Eagle Online. Select the Employee tab, and your W-2 is located under Tax Forms. Please note that your PIN is not required if you use Tech Express.

    Paper W-2s were mailed January 20th for employees who did not consent to receiving the electronic version. Employees who wish to receive W-2’s electronically in the future can select Electronic Regulatory Consent in Tech Express under Tax Forms. We encourage employees to select Electronic Regulatory Consent as it reduces the risk of others obtaining your personal information through mail theft.

  • Out of State Employment Processes

    Recognizing that remote work arrangements for faculty and staff appointments are becoming necessary to address critical needs, special business processes have been established to ensure compliance with state and local employment laws (e.g., taxes, unemployment benefits, workplace safety, minimum wage, etc.) based on the state where the employee is working.  An external company is being used to provide guidance and assistance in helping the university comply with state-specific employment laws, regulations, and policies.  For more information, please refer to the following link: https://www.tntech.edu/hr/out-of-state-employment.php.

    For questions, please contact Human Resources at (931) 372-3034.
