Human Resources and Workforce Diversity UW System Email Communications
Human Resources and Workforce DiversityWhat emails come from UW System? Mainly Payroll/Benefits Related o Benefits Updates (ABE, FSA/HSA, 403b, Glacier, ICI, etc.) o Tax Form Updates (1095 C, W-2 Forms) Mandatory Employee Training Notices Review/Update Address & Personal information
Changes to Email Communicaton from UW System Human Resources and Workforce Diversity Working to make email communications less "phishy" Removed elements giving more info than necessary. o Ex. City, state, empl id, etc. No Hyperlinks o Give full URLs that can be copied and pasted instead Refer employees back to the UW Portal for additional information Added language to briefly describe UWSS and to make clear they removed links for enhanced security Resulting emails look very "plain" but will enhance security for the workforce.
Human Resources and Workforce Diversity Up Next: Furlough Reminders
Human Resources and Workforce DiversityFurlough Overview Eligible employees were assigned furlough from 9/10/23 6/1/24 If assigned furlough, should have observed and reported approximately half of your furlough by now Furlough notification e-mails were sent 9/1/23 from uwsystemhr@uwss.wisconsin.edu
Human Resources and Workforce DiversityFurlough Usage Must be used in 8 or 4 hours increments Must be pre-approved by supervisor Entered into timesheet or absence portal on or before it is taken Should be evenly spread throughout the entire 19 pay periods Cannot substitute paid leave for furlough Furlough will not impact legal holiday, as long as either the day before or after they are in pay status Special Note Regarding MLK Day in 2024: Employees should not use a furlough day on both the Friday before and Tuesday after Martin Luther King Jr Day, which is January 15, 2024. Because that Friday and Tuesday are in 2 separate pay periods, they could do this, but they would lose their legal holiday pay then
Furlough Reporting How to Report in My UW System Portal Human Resources and Workforce Diversity Non-Instructional Academic Staff & Limited Faculty & Instructional Staff University Staff Report on timesheet Select %REDF in the code menu dropdown Enter number of hours Report as absence request Select FURLOUGH for absence name Enter number of hours Report on timesheet Enter both furlough hours and hours worked for the week furlough is used
Furlough Reporting Non-Instructional & Limited Example Human Resources and Workforce Diversity Employees can only edit past timesheets for one additional pay period. After that, the employee will have to submit a ticket to: serviceoperations@support.wisconsin.edu
Furlough Reporting How can I self-audit? Human Resources and Workforce Diversity
Furlough Reporting Whose Responsibility Is It? Human Resources and Workforce Diversity #1 Employees are expected and required to report all of their furlough time according to their employment classification. #2 Supervisors/time approvers are expected to review timesheets and leave requests timely and ensure their staff are reporting as required. #3 HR/Payroll will run audit reports to identify non- compliance and send to supervisors to address.
Human Resources and Workforce DiversityFurlough & Employment Changes New hires will be assigned prorated furlough & get notification from their HR Generalist Job changes will not change original furlough assignment (includes FTE and base salary) Terminations will need to ensure a pro-rated amount of furlough has been observed and entered prior to their last day working
