In an effort to retain top talent, UW-Madison administrators on Tuesday unveiled a plan to direct pay increases of at least 5 percent to in-demand faculty and staff who have demonstrated exceptional performance. But this is not an initiative designed to bump up most workers? pay. Instead, a memo sent from UW-Madison administrators to deans and directors across campus on Tuesday notes ?it is anticipated that no more than 30 percent of eligible employees within a school, college or division may receive increases.? Those who are underpaid compared to those in similar positions or who are at risk of leaving due to their talents are to be the main targets of the raises.
