The Statewide Employees Combined Campaign (SECC) annual workplace campaign begins Monday October 10th. You can make a pledge anytime between then and November 30, 2016.  The SECC Statewide is Wisconsin’s largest voluntary fundraising campaign and the only annual, cooperative, on-the-job campaign authorized to run at your workplace.  Thanks to your help, the campaign raised money for more than 400 participating charities. The campaign is online, making it easier for you to give and make a difference in your COMMUNITY and the WORLD.

The CHOICE is yours…

You decide:

• How you want to give – choose payroll contribution, cash or check.

The Annual Benefits Enrollment (ABE) period, October 17- November 11, 2016, is the only annual opportunity for eligible UW employees to make changes to most of their benefits unless they have qualifying event during the year.  The Annual Benefits Enrollment website (www.wisconsin.edu/abe) has been updated with information about 2017 changes.  Please keep in mind that this is not the full content yet- the full website will be posted by October 17^th.  Employees are encouraged to check the ABE website regularly for updates.  We will also continue to provide updates on changes for 2017 as information becomes available. Changes made during the enrollment period are effective January 1, 2017.

The October B payroll period (10/02/16 to 10/15/16) has been moved ahead of its regular processing schedule, so we are requesting that employees paid on a bi-weekly basis submit their timesheets and absence requests by Friday, October 14th at 4:30 p.m.  Supervisors should review and approve timesheets and absence requests by Monday, October 17th at 11:00 a.m.  Please e-mail payrollandbenefits@uwgb.edu if you have any questions or concerns about the adjustment to this deadline.  Thank you for your help!

As a reminder, UW-Green Bay student employees must reduce their working schedules down to 25 hours per week starting August 21, 2016 to make sure we are in compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
