Highmark’s Healthy Highlights  UPDATE MONTHLY!
December is Substance Abuse Month and this month’s health topic highlights addiction and different drug types. Drug addiction is a complex disease, and quitting takes more than good intentions. No single factor can predict whether a person will become addicted to drugs, including alcohol, nicotine, and prescription drug abuse.

RESIDENCY CERTIFICATION FORM
You may have received a “Residency Certification Form” in the mail at home recently as a result of the implementation of Pennsylvania’s new Act 32. While the act changes the way local earned income tax is collected, it should be largely invisible to our faculty and staff. We do not need the form to be returned to us, as we already have the required information on file for all current employees. As long as your address as shown in Employee Self Service is correct, there’s nothing else you need to do. The new form has been posted on the HR website and is available in the office, for any employee with an address change.
