The list itemizes “discretionary compensation awards” — bonuses — to 82 state employees, including the UW System. A few are lump-sum payments: $1,000 here, $500 there, $3,150 to one UW-Madison supervisor for “new duties.” But most are per-hour salary adjustments for merit, equity, new duties and retention that extend permanently into the future.
