The UW System Administrative Policies and Procedures (SYS) related to the University Personnel System (UPS) apply to all UW institutions other than UW-Madison. The UPS policies were integrated into the SYS policy series on July 15, 2019. No substantive changes were made during the integration.
Practice Directives are housed on the UW System Office of Human Resources’ website and can be found here. Practice Directives may have been UPS policies, appendices or other tools intended to be used as a reference point informing practice at institutions. The UW System Office of Human Resources will update them periodically.
