Welcome Carrie Schultz!

Carrie has been working with her husband at Schultz Trucking, LLC since its inception near the end of 1999. She attends to the office and bookkeeping duties while her husband maintains the driving role.

She enjoys helping those who need valuable injections of healthy plasma so they can lead more productive lives. She also has been handing out water during the Bellin Run.
Ford Mustangs are Carrie’s passion. She currently drives a 2005 Roush Mustang and her family is restoring a 1970 Mach 1 Mustang. She lives outdoor activities and we can find her at the ballpark in the summer, at the gun club watching trap, and sitting in the bleachers watching the dance team perform as well cheering on the basketball team. She also likes to ski, snowmobile, and enjoy walks with her dog, Lady.
Carrie has an Associate’s degree from NWTC. While leaving the work force to raise her kids, she decided to go to UWGB to obtain a Bachelor’s in Applied Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. She received her degree in 2010 and graduated Cum Laude. She still felt compelled to complete a degree in Accounting so she applied to Lakeland University. She has 5 courses to complete her Bachelor’s degree and hopes to obtain that within a few years.
Carrie was born and raised in Wayside, WI and is currently living in the country outside of Denmark. She is married to her husband, Brian for 20 years.

Changes to Personnel Files and Recruitment Policies
On June 7, 2018, the Board of Regents adopted Resolution 11038 on employee personnel files and reference checks, which required the development or modification of certain human resources policies for all UW institutions regarding:
- Documenting sexual harassment allegations and investigations;
- Maintaining personnel files and conducting reference checks; and
- Exchanging personnel files between all UW institutions and State of Wisconsin agencies
Effective January 1, 2019, Operational policies Operational Policy HR13: Personnel Files and Operational Policy TC1: Recruitment Policies were modified and published to satisfy these new requirements.
As part of the modification to the Operational Policy HR13: Personnel Files, updates were made to clearly identify a list of what must be in an employee’s personnel file, define when and with whom personnel files are shared, and require appropriate documentation of sexual violence and sexual harassment in personnel files.
In addition, updates to the Operational Policy TC1: Recruitment Policies were made to ensure consistent disclosure of violations of sexual violence and sexual harassment policies to hiring institutions. Furthermore, institutions are required to ask about sexual violence and sexual harassment during the hiring process. Human Resources will be working directly with areas currently conducting recruitments to ensure that these new requirements are communicated and understood.
If you have questions about either of these policy revisions, please contact Human Resources at hr@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2390.

Get energized in the morning today!
Sure, an endless pot of delicious hot coffee can give you a morning jolt. But there are other ways to wake up raring to go. Try one for a more energized start to your day:
- Say no to the snooze button. Those five extra minutes of sleep aren’t going to be restorative ones. Set your alarm for the time you actually need to get up.
- Let the light in. Open your curtains or turn on the lights as soon as you awake. It’ll signal your body to stop producing melatonin, the hormone that induces sleep.
- Put your sneakers on. Physical activity gets your blood flowing and ups your endorphins for a morning mood boost. Take the dog for a stroll, do an exercise DVD, or walk your kids to school.
- Eat a healthy breakfast. You won’t be dragging after a fruit-and-Greek-yogurt smoothie, a vegetable omelet, or wheat toast topped with peanut butter and banana.

University Staff Performance Evaluations
The new year is upon us, and with it begins the University Staff performance evaluation process for the evaluation period of January 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018. Supervisors should initiate the annual review process with University Staff employees within the next couple of weeks.
Annual performance evaluations are a key component to employee performance and development and provide employees and their supervisors an opportunity to discuss job performance, set goals for professional development, establish objectives for contributing to the department’s mission, and discuss expectations and accomplishments.
Resources:
- Performance Evaluation (Non-Exempt University Staff)
- Performance Evaluation (Exempt University Staff)
In line with UW System compensation guidelines and the UW-Green Bay Compensation and Pay Plan Policy, all compensation adjustments must be based upon merit and employee performance. Therefore, any future pay adjustments, including base rate adjustments and Board of Regents approved pay plan, will be contingent upon satisfactory performance.
In an effort to facilitate timely completion, evaluations are due by Friday, March 22, 2019.
Please note that annual performance evaluations are not required for individuals who have had a probationary review on or after July 1, 2018, or for new employees that have been hired since this date.
