The deadline for Faculty, Academic Staff, and Limited Appointees (who have or had an active leave-eligible appointment) to submit missing leave reports for fiscal year 2024 (July 1, 2023‒June 30, 2024) is Sept. 30, 2024. Leave reports must report either leave usage or “No Leave Taken” for every month of the fiscal year. If missing leave reports are not entered in MyUW by the Sept. 30 deadline, the employee will have their sick leave balance permanently reduced. Employees can check for any missing leave reports by going to MyUW > Time and Absence > Leave Reports.

In addition, Faculty, Academic Staff, and Limited Appointees with 12-month appointments who are eligible to bank unused vacation time must enter any banked leave in MyUW by Sept. 30. Employees who have questions should contact the human resources department in their school, college or division.

The Employee Benefits and Resource Fair will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in Varsity Hall at Union South. Units and services from across campus will provide information about resources available to UW–Madison employees. Employees may also attend free sessions on topics related to financial well-being, retirement, and more.

The event also features resources and presentations that can help with Annual Benefits Enrollment for 2025. The Annual Benefits Enrollment period runs from Sept. 30–Oct. 25, 2024. Representatives from Benefits Services will be on hand to answer questions, and a 60-minute session, Benefits 2025: What You Need to Know, will be presented at 9:15 a.m., 11:45 a.m., and 1:30 p.m. An Open Benefits Lab will be available for those who have made their 2025 benefits decisions and would like help enrolling using Self Service.

Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin last week introduced a new institutional and public position statements policy. The new policy specifies when and by whom public position statements may be issued on behalf of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and its units. The policy can be found at policy.wisc.edu/library/UW-206.
