The Complainant’s employment for two state agencies should, therefore, be considered as work for one employer. Butzlaff v. DHFS (Wis. Pers. Comm'n, 09/19/90); rev’d on other grounds sub nom. Butzlaff v. Wis. Pers. Comm'n (Dane Co. Cir. Ct., 04/23/91); aff’d, 166 Wis. 2d 1028, 480 N.W.2d 559 (Ct. App. 1992).
