Sign Up for Electronic W-2 Forms On the JCP Associates Kiosk Website

As a JCPenney employee, it is possible for you to sign up for electronic W-2 forms, through the JCPenney Associates Kiosk website. By opting to receive W-2 forms electronically, you position yourself to benefit from the greater convenience associated with electronic filing of W-2 forms. As you may be aware, the W-2 form is essentially a tax form: one that is meant to be filled in by an employer, reporting an employee’s annual earnings and the amount of money that was deducted from those earnings as taxes. Now in your case, as a person who works for JCPenney (that is, as a JCP Kiosk associate), it is obviously JCPenney Kiosk that is supposed to fill in the W-2 form for you. And having done so, JCPenney is expected to provide you (as an employee) with one copy of the filled-in W-2 form, which you would then use for tax filing purposes. It is this aspect of receiving the W-2 form from JCPenney that can be undertaken electronically, through the JCPenney Associate Kiosk website.

Registering as a New User On the JCPenney Associate Kiosk Website:

Before you can start using the JCPenney Associate Kiosk website to access your employment information, you, first of all, need to register as a new user on the site. This is to say that you, as a person who works for JCPenney, can’t view your paystubs, work schedules, benefits information, W-2 information… or anything else through the JCPenney Associate Kiosk, before registering as a new user on the site. The JCPenney Associates Kiosk website is one where you have to be logged in, for you to view your personal information. And for you to be logged in, you need to have set up a password: which is something that you only get a chance to do in the process of registering as a new user on the JCPenney Associate Kiosk website.

Initiating the process of registering as a new user on the JCPenney Associate Kiosk website:

You initiate the process of registering as a new user on the JCPenney Associate Kiosk website by first loading the website and then navigating to the registration/sign up page.

To load the JCPenney Associate Kiosk website, enter the address for it into your browser.

It is important to note that it is impossible for you to actually register as a new user on the JCPenney Associate Kiosk website if you are literally at home. JCPenney says that for security and privacy purposes, it deactivates the ‘I forgot my password’ and the ‘Register as a new user’ links for people who are trying to access the website from home computers. Thus, you can only be registering as a new user of the site through a JCPenney workplace computer.

JCPenney Associate Discount Card Activation:

As a JCPenney associate, there are certain special discounts that are available to you (and your eligible dependents). Now for you to actually benefit from the said discounts when shopping in brick and mortar JCPenney stores, you need to have a special discount card. The card in question is known as the JCPenney Associate discount card.  When shopping online at JCP.com, the discounts are automatic. But when shopping in brick and mortar JCPenney stores, you have to show the discount card at the checkout point, for the discount to be applied. And for the JCPenney discount card to work, you need to have activated it. Now, as it turns out, the discount card activation is something you need to do on a JCPenney kiosk at work.

How to acquire the JCPenney Associate Discount card, in the first place

The JCPenney Associate Discount card is something you are given when you are first hired by JCPenney. In the course of what JCPenney refers to as the ‘new hire process’, one of the things you are given is a JCPenney Associate Discount card. Actually, you may end up getting several of these cards: one for yourself, and others for your eligible dependents. As for card replacements (and for additional cards, in case you get new eligible dependents in the course of your employment), you only need to contact your General Manager or your unit leader at work.

How to go about activating the JCPenney Associate Discount card

Having acquired the JCPenney Associate Discount card, the next logical thing for you to do is to activate it. The first step in that process is that of going to a JCPenney Kiosk (at work). The second step is to log into the JCPenney Kiosk. And having logged into the JCPenney Kiosk, you need to select the main menu, and from the main menu click on ‘self-service’ and then from the self-service sub-menu, click on ‘discount card activation’. You will then be able to activate the card, by entering a few details.

How to use the JCPenney Associate Discount card, after activation

Having activated the JCPenney Associate discount card, you need to carry it with you whenever you go shopping in a brick and mortar JCPenney outlet. Then, having picked the items you needed, you only need to show the card at the checkout point (you may also be asked for identification), and the applicable discount will then be applied. Take note that in the long run, the sums of money you stand to save through JCPenney Associate discounts can be appreciably huge. This means that the JCPenney Associates discounts program is one that is definitely worth taking advantage of.
