If you don't receive a W2 by the deadline, you need to contact your employer and get another copy of the form in question. There can be several reasons that you didn't receive it such as moving and not giving them your new address, perhaps they had the incorrect address to start with. The employer is required to mail you a form but even if they don't it does not relieve you from reporting all income on your tax return.
You will first need to contact the employer to get another copy. If they are no longer in business and can't be found you can call the IRS and see what can be done beyond that if they don't have the information.

Is the 31st of January the deadline for employers to get your w2s out to employees?

Yes, it appears to be: http://www.hrotoday.com/News.asp?id=184 The rule states that it is the deadline that an employer must have the w2 A) available for an employee to print or view electronicly. B) postmarked in transit to last known address. I have had a couple former emplyees get very upset with me when they did not receive their w2's because they failed to keep the company updated with their current mailing address.
