Enjoy a fun night out with coworkers at a San Diego Gulls game while celebrating a decade of Live Well San Diego.
The hockey team will host the Live Well San Diego 10th Anniversary Kickoff Night at their Jan. 4 game against the Bakersfield Condors at 7 p.m. at Pechanga Arena San Diego.
Attendees are invited to visit the Live Well San Diego booth in section 6A of the concourse to receive a free drawstring bag while supplies last and enter to win a ride on the Zamboni between the second and third period. (Entries must be received before the start of the second period.)
During the game, the Gulls will be presented with a proclamation from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors recognizing the organization’s commitment to advancing the Live Well San Diego vision of a region that is building better health, living safely and thriving.
This event is the first of many celebrations the Live Well San Diego team has planned for the upcoming year.
Employees can purchase specially discounted Terrace and Lower Bowl tickets to this event in the reserved Live Well San Diego sections. Tickets start at just $17 each.
Purchase your ticket and share your personalized link with friends and family so that you all can pay separately and still sit together. The deadline to purchase tickets is 7 p.m., Jan. 2.
Tickets will be delivered via AXS Mobile Delivery 24 hours prior to the game. For questions, contact Casey Callahan at (619) 359-4725 or at ccallahan@sandiegogulls.com.

VALOR, the employee resource group supporting military service, volunteered Saturday as part of Wreaths Across America, in which wreath-laying ceremonies were held at more than 1,600 locations across the United States, at sea and abroad. VALOR helped lay 12,600 wreaths on graves at Miramar National Cemetery.
VALOR President Rea Alvarez explained that the annual event is an opportunity to remember the fallen, honor those who serve and their families, and to teach future generations about the sacrifices made to preserve our freedom.

The IRS has released the final version of the 2020 Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Certificate. The updates reflect federal tax law changes to allow more accurate calculation of the employee’s federal income tax withholding.
The new 2020 Form W-4 is very different from the previous version. The new 2020 Form W-4 no longer provides withholding allowances; instead employees will calculate withholding based on tax dependents and other income/deductions.
Who needs to complete the new 2020 Form W-4?
Current employees are not required to complete a new form merely because of the redesign. Withholding will continue based on the information from the most recently submitted Form W-4 (2019 or earlier).
Current employees can choose to adjust the withholding from their paychecks by submitting a new 2020 Form W-4.
All new employees hired on or after Jan. 1, 2020 must use the new form.
Even though the IRS does not require all current employees to complete the revised form and even if your tax situation has not changed, the Auditor & Controller recommends you perform a “paycheck checkup” to see if you need to make adjustments to your current withholding. To conduct the checkup, you can use the IRS’s Tax Withholding Estimator.
Unfortunately, the IRS has not yet finalized the withholding estimator for 2020. This tool should be released soon. When it is, we will update you on Insite. To use the estimator, have a copy of your most recent pay stub and tax return.
If you would like to make changes to your withholding, see instructions.
Please note, the Peoplesoft Employee Self-Service Web Portal W-4 Tax Information page will be temporarily unavailable beginning Dec. 20, 2019 while we update the system with the new tax form.
You may want to seek advice from your tax preparer or tax advisor about the impacts of the 2020 Form W-4 on your withholding requirements.
For additional information on the new form, visit IRS.gov.
