Ensure that the extra work is indicated on the time sheet accurately, write down completed extra work from the 16th of the previous month through the 15th of the current month. Extra hours will be paid at the end of the same month when the time sheet is received by Payroll on the 15th of that same month. (For example, if you work from August 16th to Sept 15th. The time sheet is due on Sept 15th to Payroll and will be paid at the end of Sept. Time sheets received after the 15th will be paid the following month.) Hours and description on the time sheets must match the F-12. Failure to complete the F-12 will delay processing of the payment. Payroll is unaware of employee's extra work hours. Therefore, it is the employee's responsibility to track all of his/her extra work hours and ensure with the Principal Secretary that all required paperwork has been completed and submitted to Payroll on time for payment.

Medicare Coverage of Benefits (COB) Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for the PPO Plan
The COB PPO plan is for retirees with Medicare Part A and B coverage. UHC pays secondary.
The COB PPO plan is for retirees with Medicare Part A and B coverage. UHC pays secondary.
- There is no COB plan for HMO participants. However, on the HMO, members choose a High, Medium, or Low option.
- There is no separate COB plan for HMO. Typically, if a member is on Medicare and has Part A and B and enrolled in an HMO plan, the COB rule will depend on whether the employee is actively at work. If actively at work, the employer-sponsored plan pays primary (UHC) and Medicare is secondary. If the member is retired and not actively at work, as long as the member has Medicare A and B, Medicare pays primary, UHC pays secondary.
