Staff Awards Template

Human Resources has developed a “Staff Recognition and Awards” template, for use by departments in documenting that an awards program meets the requirements of Policy 3235, and has the required approval.

Please note that the policy noted above, and the usage of the template, relates ONLY to STAFF award programs.  Contact Faculty Contracts for information on the requirements for faculty awards.

Before approving a Non-Standard Payment form on which a staff award is being made, HR will require documentation that the award program has the required approval per policy, and that the central accounting office responsible for the funding source has also approved.

Although departments are not required to use the template, it is an available tool that is designed to capture all the required information and approval signatures, and then be scanned into Web Xtender for viewing via screen FTMACCI (Index Code Maintenance Form).

All staff awards, cash or otherwise, must meet the requirements of policy 3235.  It is recommended that departments use the template and submit it with any transaction in which an award is being given.
