Entering Pay Rate Changes in HRS

Overview

Employees typically receive pay rate changes for: Faculty/Academic Staff/Limited Appointment (FA/AS/LI) Promotion, University Staff Reclassification, Pay Plan increases, Temporary Base Adjustments, etc.

Process Considerations:

  • University Staff Reclasses are typically retroactive.
  • Pay Rate Changes done in collaboration with a Promotion will need to be done by adding a subsequent row following the Promotion row.
  • If Pay Rate Change is prior to current row, submit a WiscIT to UW-Shared Services.
