Please remember that payroll reports must be submitted by the close of business on Wednesday, April 30. Due to the SAM II processing schedule, there are no exceptions to this deadline.

• If you encounter any difficulties completing your report, contact Employer Services as soon as possible at (573) 632-6100, option 2.
• We are happy to assist you over the phone to resolve any issues and ensure your report is finalized.

Phoenix identifies employees designated in SAM II as 50% FTE or greater as benefit-eligible. This first payroll report has revealed instances where benefit-eligible employees hired more than 31 days ago were not entered into SEBES.

If you missed enrolling a benefit-eligible employee through SEBES within 31 days of their hire date, please follow these steps:

• Enter the employee into SEBES using the first date of the current payroll reporting period as the employee’s start date.
• SEBES enrollments are imported into Phoenix approximately every five minutes, allowing you to clear the related error shortly after the enrollment is processed.
• Submit an Application to Correct Service to MOSERS. We will coordinate with OA to review the request. If approved, we will work with OA to add the retroactive service credit and collect any required back contributions.

Thanks to the daily exchange of information between SAM II and Phoenix, we do not anticipate late SEBES enrollments being a recurring issue in Phoenix. Going forward, MOSERS staff will be alerted to new benefit-eligible employees and may contact you if a SEBES enrollment needs to be submitted.
