No more frantic searches or head-scratching when tax season rolls around! Getting your W2 from Sysco, whether you're a current or former employee, is a straightforward process once you know where to look. Sysco primarily utilizes ADP and Workday for their payroll and HR services, meaning your W2 will likely be accessible through one of these platforms.
Let's dive into the step-by-step guide to retrieve your W2 and make tax time a breeze!
Step 1: Identify Your Employment Status – Are You Current or Former?
Before we begin, the very first thing you need to do is determine your current employment status with Sysco. This is crucial because the access method can differ slightly.
Are you currently employed by Sysco?
Did you recently leave Sysco, or have you been gone for a while?
Knowing this will guide you to the correct portal and prevent unnecessary frustration. If you're a current employee, you likely have more direct access through internal Sysco portals. If you're a former employee, you'll typically access it directly through ADP.

Step 2: Accessing Your W2 – The Primary Portals
Sysco generally uses two main platforms for payroll and employee information: ADP and Workday. Your W2 will be available on one of these.
Sub-heading 2.1: For Current Sysco Employees
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
If you're an active Sysco employee, you'll likely access your W2 through a combination of Sysco's internal portals which often integrate with ADP or Workday.
Sysco Workday: Sysco has transitioned many of its internal HR and payroll functions to Workday.
Action: Log in to your Sysco Workday Associate Portal. If you're unsure of the exact URL, try searching your internal Sysco network or asking your HR department.
Navigation: Once logged in, look for a "Pay" or "Payroll" icon. Within this section, you should find options to view or print your payslips and W2s. Note: Payslips earned prior to April 1, 2022, might still be on ADP, while those after this date will be in Workday.
Assistance: If you're having trouble locating it, your internal Sysco HR or payroll department is your best resource.
MyADP (for older W2s or specific situations): While Workday is now prominent, older W2s or specific payroll functions might still reside on MyADP.
Action: Go to the MyADP login page (signin.adp.com).
Login: Use your MyADP User ID and password. This is distinct from your Sysco network login.
Registration (if new): If you've never logged into MyADP before, you'll need a registration code from Sysco's Payroll or HR department. Only they can provide this. Once you have it, select "Register Now" on the ADP login page and follow the prompts.
Finding your W2: Once logged in, navigate to the "Pay" or "Tax Statements" section to find your W2s.
Sub-heading 2.2: For Former Sysco Employees
If you are no longer employed by Sysco, your W2 will almost certainly be accessible directly through MyADP. Sysco, like many large companies, partners with ADP to manage payroll and tax forms for past employees.
Step 2.2.1: Accessing MyADP
Action: Open your web browser and go to the MyADP login page: signin.adp.com.
Crucial Tip: Do not go to the general Sysco employee portal, as your access there will likely be terminated. MyADP is the dedicated platform for W2 retrieval for former employees.
Step 2.2.2: Logging In to MyADP
Existing Account: If you previously set up an account with MyADP while at Sysco, use your existing MyADP User ID and password. Remember, this is separate from any Sysco-specific login credentials you might have had.
Forgot Password: If you've forgotten your password, click on the "Forgot User ID/Password" link on the MyADP login page and follow the recovery steps. You'll likely need access to the email address or phone number associated with your ADP account.
New User/First Time Accessing as a Former Employee: If you never set up an ADP account or are accessing it for the first time as a former employee, you will need a registration code.
Obtaining a Registration Code: Unfortunately, ADP states that only your employer can provide this code. This means you will need to contact Sysco's HR or Payroll department directly to request it. This can sometimes be the trickiest part for former employees, but it's a necessary step if you don't have an existing MyADP account.
Step 2.2.3: Locating Your W2 on MyADP
Once you are successfully logged into MyADP, navigate to the section for tax documents. This is typically labeled "Pay," "Tax Statements," "W2s," or something similar.
You should see a list of available W2s by tax year. Select the year you need and you can then view, download, or print your W2.
Step 3: Alternative Methods and Troubleshooting
Sometimes, despite following the main steps, you might encounter issues. Here are some alternative methods and troubleshooting tips.
Sub-heading 3.1: Contacting Sysco Directly
If you're unable to access your W2 through the online portals, especially if you're a former employee and need a registration code or have forgotten your login details, directly contacting Sysco's payroll or HR department is your next best step.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
Sysco Payroll Support Line: Sysco has a dedicated Sysco Pay Support Line at (888) 264-7647, Option 1. This is a good starting point for payroll-related inquiries, including W2s.
General Sysco Contact: You can also try reaching out via the general contact information found on the Sysco corporate website (
). Look for sections related to "Support" or "For Employees."sysco.com/contact Be Prepared: When you call, have your personal information ready, such as your full name, former employee ID (if you remember it), last known address, and the year(s) for which you need your W2.
Sub-heading 3.2: Requesting a Transcript from the IRS
If all else fails, or if you need an official record of your wage and income information for federal tax purposes, you can request a wage and income transcript directly from the IRS.
IRS Get Transcript Online: Visit the IRS "Get Transcript Online" tool on their website (irs.gov). You'll need to verify your identity.
Form 4506-T: Alternatively, you can fill out and mail or fax Form 4506-T, "Request for Transcript of Tax Return," checking the box for Form W-2. Be aware that this method can take longer (typically 10 business days or more).
Important Note: An IRS transcript provides the federal tax information reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA). It does not include state or local tax information. If you need a copy of the actual Form W-2 for state or local taxes, you must obtain it from Sysco.
Step 4: Important Considerations
Timelines: W2s are typically made available by January 31st of each year for the previous tax year.
Personal Information Updates: If your address or contact information has changed since you last worked at Sysco, this could affect your ability to receive a physical W2 (if applicable) or recover online access. Make sure your information is up-to-date with Sysco's HR/Payroll if you can.
Keep Records: Once you obtain your W2, download and save a digital copy and/or print a physical copy for your records. This will save you hassle in the future!
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully obtain your W2 from Sysco and get your taxes filed without a hitch!
