CFC-EEX E-Pledge offers employees in specified agencies the choice of making a CFC payroll deduction pledge on-line through Employee Express (EEX). Employee Express is a convenient, user-friendly automated system that gives employees direct control over key payroll and personnel information without having to use forms or visit a personnel or payroll office.

CFC-EEX is not mandatory for CFC pledges. CFC-EEX is another option for the Federal donor in agencies using EEX (see the list below).

Employees utilizing CFC-EEX E Pledge should not submit an additional paper pledge form for their payroll deduction pledge (If they do, the Heartland CFC office should be able to catch it). However, paper pledge forms are required for one-time and cash contributions.

Benefits of CFC-EEX E-Pledge include:

Confidential and Secure: EEX has secure links directly to your payroll providers. No SSN information is passed to a campaign or mailed to another office for input.
Accurate: All pledges are received electronically by the payroll office and no math calculations to correct or printing to decipher.
Searchable: Query the charity database to search for and select charities from your local campaign area and the National-International list.
Flexibility: Donors can pledge to up to 30 charities, and change their pledge through the end of the official campaign season -- December 15.
Printable: Employees may print a copy of the pledge form for their records.
Speedy: Information is processed immediately, in real-time, to the CFC reports site and to the payroll providers daily.. Local campaigns retrieve reports and distribute them as needed to agencies in their campaigns.
Available: CFC-EEX E-Pledge is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week beginning on campaign kick-off to December 15th via the Internet:https://www.employeeexpress.gov
Assistance: Is available through the EEX help desk from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or phone: 478-757-3030. Passwords for Employee Express can be requested On-Line or through the Employee Express Help Desk.
