• Employee Requested vs. Employer Requested
  • Employee requested FTE increases or decreases are allowed with supervisor approval (be sure to review possible benefit impacts with asu.payrollbenefits@ohr.wisc.edu)
  • Employer requested FTE increases are allowed with proper advanced notice if based on business needs (consult with hr@extension.wisc.edu)
