Job Summary:

Starting pay is based on experience, with a minimum starting rate of $17.25 per hour.

This position is responsible for initiating and processing payroll and related operations for the Department of Mathematics in support of its instructional, research and service missions. The Mathematics Department in the College of Letters & Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison payrolls 150 graduate students from all over the world, and has 46 faculty members, 5 affiliate faculty members, 12 PostDocs, 10 academic staff and 8 University staff members with different rules and regulations to be followed for each appointment type. The Department has state expenditures exceeding $8 million annually and research expenditures exceeding $3.8 million annually from a variety of Federal and non-Federal grants and awards (funding designations include but are not limited to: 101, 133, 135, 136, 144, 150, 161 and 233). This requires constantly changing funding commitments to be made on the various appointments. Funding periods may vary and include grant funding periods that don't necessarily coincide with the fiscal year funding, complicating the payroll process.

In the role of benefits coordinator, this position supplies benefit information to different classes of employees, each with a unique set of benefits. This is made even more complicated by continuous changes such as leaves of absence, sabbaticals, appointment percent level, and appointment type. The impact of supplying incomplete or insufficient information could result in an individual not being eligible or losing critical benefits.

This position drafts appointment letters and processes visas for Visiting Scholars and Post Docs and serves as back-up to the CHRIS and PVL system.

The individual must be able to manage multiple, multi-faceted, detailed responsibilities ranging from day-to-day to extremely detailed activities. A strong knowledge of UW payroll, visa process, and benefits procedures are required.
