For 2013-2015 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
An Act ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Higher education
Current law requires that the Board of Regents of the UW System and the chancellor of UW-Madison submit compensation plans for UW employees to the director of the Office of State Employment Relations (OSER), who, after receiving the plans, makes recommendations for UW employee compensation to the Joint Committee on Employment Relations (JCOER) for approval. This bill requires the Board of Regents and the chancellor of UW-Madison to establish compensation plans for UW employees and does not require submission of the plans to the director of OSER for approval by JCOER.
Current law, with exceptions, prohibits the Board of Regents of the UW System from increasing employee salaries unless the salary increase conforms to the UW employee compensation plan approved by the Joint Committee on Employment Relations. This bill eliminates this restriction on salary increases for UW employees.
In addition, the bill eliminates all funding for the Board of Regents of the UW System from the compensation reserve, a pool of moneys used to fund salary adjustments for UW System employees. Instead, salary adjustments will be funded from moneys directly appropriated to the Board of Regents of the UW System.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
