What's happening to my job?
UW–Madison is updating job titles and descriptions. We have created a new standardized format that is clear, concise, and follows the job framework created in the fall of 2017. The job description format is simpler but your duties will not change.
Why are we updating job descriptions?
The end goal is for all job titles and descriptions to clearly show the work that is done at UW–Madison. Standard job descriptions help to:
- Accurately reflect job duties and responsibilities.
- Clarify similarities across jobs.
- Align jobs at UW–Madison with the job market.
- Clarify career development opportunities at our university.

When will I see my new job description?

Staff will participate in training and have conversations about standard job descriptions in 2019.

What's happening to my pay?
Your position will be part of a new, market-informed pay structure. There will not be any pay reductions or job losses because of this project.
Why are we updating our pay structure?
Our current system doesn’t accurately reflect the job market. We are comparing what is being offered currently at UW–Madison to what other employers that have similar workforces are offering. The results will guide us toward making your pay competitive.
