Facts about HR Design
5
All UW employees will continue to be state employees
Ability to create our own personnel system results from Act 32, not Act 10
Employee categories currently entitled to just cause and due process will continue to have these protections
Base wages will not decrease
Cost‐of‐living/general wage increases will still be used
New system will pay staff at least a living wage
Pay adjustments will reflect a broad range of factors (e.g., market, equity, performance) within defined guidelines
Not prescribing performance criteria for compensation decisions.
For discussion only
Facts about HR Design
6
Right to collectively bargain will be maintained and not involuntarily taken away from current employees
Governance rights will not be diminished – they will be expanded
Hiring will be based on civil service principles (i.e., merit‐based hiring)
We will adopt a personnel system that meets the needs of our educational mission and culture
HR Design work team members represented all stakeholder groups, including HR
Permanent increases in OHR staffing levels to support the new personnel structure will be minimal.
