Legislators question UW payroll project

Top University of Wisconsin officials were grilled by state legislators Tuesday regarding the cost and management of developing a new payroll system that is not usable.

The Appointment, Payroll and Benefits System for the 26-campus university system has already cost $25 million over a five-year period. And UW System President Kevin Reilly and Executive Senior Vice President Don Mash told the Assembly’s Colleges and Universities Committee that they could not at present say how much more it will cost because there are too many unknowns.
