Call to Order
A. Roll Call – Sign attendance sheet
B. Wahl asked that establishment of a professional development sub-committee be added
as new business on the agenda. Motion to approve agenda and include new business
item (Pauly/Simonson) passed unanimously by consent.
Motion to approve May 9, 2013 minutes (Frey/Wik) passed unanimously by consent.
Joint Finance Committee Recommendation to Delay UPS: Deb Gehrke updated the council on
the delay of UPS approval until July 1, 2015 that is in the 2013-15 budget. Classified staff will
return to OSER procedures, including existing pay plans, recruitment, and WISC.Jobs. Exempt
classified staff will also remain in their current classified title. Council members asked about
grievance procedures. Gehrke responded that there is a grievance procedure, a form is
available online, and Terry McCann is the fact finding individual on campus. If employee is not
satisfied with results, the grievance can then be submitted to UW-System, and if denied, it may
go to WERC. There are different steps for the various types of grievances, and specific windows
of time for each step. The Council should let Gehrke or McCann know if they would like to see
more information available online. The Council requested that an EDGE session about grievance
procedures be scheduled. Gehrke also reported that the second classified supplemental pay
plan lump sum payment is going forward and will need OSER approval again, but no problems
are anticipated.
Reports
A. Employee Appreciation Award Sub-Committee: Zack reported that the award reception
went well, and reminded members that nominations are accepted year-round, but
awards are suspended during the summer and will resume in September. Nominations
are kept for one calendar year from date of submission.
B. Supplemental Compensation Program- Phase 2 Committee: Wahl and Schram reported
that the committee is meeting today to begin developing a list of potential funding
sources, and that the Chancellor approved the guiding principles for the program. Two
suggestions from the Council were to review ‘new’ position openings, and end-of-year
money that may not be needed. The Council also discussed the importance of updating
the classified performance review form, especially if supplemental pay plans continue to
be merit based. Members are interested in seeing performance review tools used by
other campuses.
