To follow up or to make a follow-up?
Hello,
Would someone be able to help me out and answer these questions:
1) Is this sentence correct?
I'd like to follow up on Comtel PCC payroll project to be added to my timesheet.
2) Do we use to follow up as a verb?
3) If not, do I have to use a hyphen before follow and up if I'm using it as a noun in to make a follow(-)up?
Thank you!

1) It seems correct, but if you're following up (that is, pursuing additional information on something), I'm wondering if it ought to be "I'd like to follow up on the Comtel PCC payroll project being added to my timesheet". 2) Yes, it a verb. 3) If it's used as a noun ("Hi, this email is just a follow-up on our earlier conversation") or a modifier ("The press secretary allowed five minutes for follow-up questions") then it should be hyphenated.
