This is where another federal agency comes into play; the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that the name listed on an employee’s W-4 and W-2s exactly matches what’s listed on the employee’s social security card.
How do I change an employee’s name in the workplace?
If a name change is involved, doing so isn’t just smart—it’s required. Have employees fill out a new form, and load any changes into your payroll and HR system. Speaking of HR technology, be sure to double check that the employee’s name has been updated throughout the system.
