Welcome George Petrie!

The Office of Human Resources is delighted to announce that George Petrie has been appointed into the position of HR Talent Partner effective Monday, May 13, 2024. George’s role will serve as a trusted advisor and facilitator to an assigned group of colleges and departments to provide consultative and transactional HR support and services relevant to the entire career lifecycle. George has a degree in Organizational Communication/Human Resources from UW-Eau Claire, and brings extensive human resources experience from his previous work with Schneider National, St. Norbert College, Renco Machine Company, and Professional Plating. We are thrilled that he has joined our HR team!

The Office of Human Resources is currently engaged in a planned staffing transition to develop a true HR Talent Partner model across UW-Green Bay.  This model will:

    • Align roles within the HR Office with the functionality of Workday (which will be implemented in July, 2025);
    • Integrate HR more naturally within college/divisions across UW-Green Bay to provide talent support and collaboration; and
    • Ensure that HR can best serve as an impactful partner with employees, managers, and leadership, guiding employees throughout their careers and meeting the needs of UW-Green Bay in areas such as business analytics and talent strategy.

We expect to fully implement the model later in the summer, and are looking forward to providing more information to the institutional community in the coming months!

FY 2025 Pay Plan Information

Last year, JCOER approved a 2023-2025 pay plan for UW System employees, which provides a base rate increase to all eligible employees of 4% in FY24 and 2% in FY25. At this time, the Office of Human Resources is taking measures to prepare for the second 2% pay plan increase for eligible employees, which will be effective on June 30, 2024, for 12-month employees and August 26, 2024, for 9-month employees.

UW System has recently revised language for SYS 1278, UW System Pay Plan Distribution Framework for University Workforce to build more consistent methodology across institutions for determining eligibility. This aligns pay plan rules more closely with the how other state agencies define eligibility.  As a result, the UW-Green Bay Compensation and Pay Plan Policy has also been updated to align with UW System policy.

    • Included in the recent policy changes is the elimination that employees must be in an eligible position at least three months prior to the pay plan effective date. Moving forward, eligible employees in pay status on implementation date will be eligible to receive pay plan.

Eligible employees for the proposed FY 2025 pay plan include faculty, academic staff, limited, university staff, and university staff project appointments in ongoing positions with a budgeted FTE of 50% or greater. Pursuant to the UW-Green Bay Compensation and Pay Plan Policy, SYS 1278: UW System Pay Plan Distribution Framework, and other publicized guidelines, the following list represents employees who would be ineligible for pay plan:

    1. Employees paid from provisional, non-budgeted salary lines, including all temporary appointments and positions less than 50% FTE.
    2. Employees represented by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Respective pay increases for pay plan will be negotiated separately through the CBA.
    3. Employees currently under a performance improvement plan (PIP).
    4. Employees with performance which does not meet the institutional standard of performance in their most recent performance evaluation (or as documented by the supervisor if a new employee and an evaluation has not yet been required).
    5. Employees who have not completed required campus compliance trainings. Required trainings include:
        1. Sexual Harassment (Title IX) (Required every three years)
        2. Information Security Awareness (Required annually)
        3. Mandated Reporter (One-time training required at time of hire)
        4. Injury and Illness Prevention (EDU) (One-time training required at time of hire)
        5. FERPA Basics (One-time training required at time of hire)
        6. Tools for an Ethical Workplace (One-time training required at time of hire)
        7. Campus Security Authority Training (required annually for employees designated as Campus Security Authority (CSA) only)
    6. Faculty, Academic Staff, and Limited employees without a current Outside Activities Report (OAR) on file
    7. Supervisors who do not have completed, up-to-date evaluations on file and OAR forms approved for all of their direct reports. The performance evaluation periods to assess for FY25 pay plan are as follows:
        1. University Staff: 1/1/2023 – 12/31/2023 (and probationary evaluations as applicable) – these annual evaluations were due in late March 2024
        2. Non-Instructional Academic Staff / Limited:  1/1/2023 – 12/31/2023 (and 6-month evaluations as applicable) – these annual evaluations were due in late March 2024
        3. Faculty / Instructional Academic Staff: 2022-2023 Academic Year (these annual evaluations were due in early spring, 2024)

In order to be eligible for the FY25 pay plan, required trainings, OAR forms, and performance evaluations must be completed by the following deadlines:

Direct emails from UW-Shared Services and UWGB HR have been sent to employees over the past few months.  UWGB HR will continue to send out targeted emails throughout May to those with outstanding items due no later than May 31, 2024. Pay plan spreadsheets will be sent to Dean/Division Leaders the week of May 20th.

If you have questions about the FY 2025 pay plan, please feel free to contact Human Resources at hr@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2390.

This position will develop and support long-term relationships between First Nations Tribes and communities with connections to the Lake Michigan-Huron region and the Bay of Green Bay NERR.

Expand and ensure access to programs, facilities, and educational services related to coastal and estuarine waters.
  • Contribute to national conversations and initiatives in partnership with reserves across the coastal states.
  • Develop and actualize integrated research, stewardship, and training programs among Great Lakes tribal partners, the Green Bay NERR staff and partners, and the Lake Superior NERR.
