T&TC – Employee/Manager Conversation Period Kicks Off This Week!

The Title and Total Compensation (T&TC) Project is a major UW System initiative which will update official job titles and associated standard job descriptions for most Academic Staff, University Staff, and Limited appointments. The project aims to match UW job titles, compensation, and benefits offerings to the labor market in order to better attract, reward, and retain employees. Your job duties and your pay are not changing as part of this project.

In the coming weeks, supervisors will be offering all in-scope employees an opportunity to review and discuss their proposed title and job description. On or after July 1st, your supervisor will send your proposed title along with a link to the title library (in which you can find the standard job description). This will happen at least 3 business days before any scheduled meeting. Please read through the job description and bring your questions to the meeting with your manager.

The period of employee/manager conversations will last from July 1, 2021 through September 10, 2021. All employees will be offered a meeting. If you would prefer not to have a meeting about this change, please respond to your manager via e-mail or decline the meeting request. A decline will serve as affirmation of your initial agreement with the title (please note that this will not limit your ability to appeal the title during the formal appeal period).

To prepare for this process, all employees are encouraged to utilize the following resources, which contain more information about T&TC and the employee-manager conversation process:

We are so excited to be at this point in the project! Please contact the Office of Human Resources and Workforce Diversity at hr@uwgb.edu or x2390 with any questions.
