Service Award Distribution Information

The Service Award Certificates are being sent to the designated VP areas monthly. This process has been implemented to correct people being recognized up to a year later than their actual anniversary date.  The Academic Health Center service awards are being sent to Academic Health Center Finance and Administration.  The certificates are signed by President Zimpher and contain a tack pin with the number of service years.  It is our expectation to receive the certificates from Human Resources sometime during the month prior to the anniversary month (i.e. September’s certificates in August).  We will then get them out to the department’s Human Resources contact by the first week of the anniversary month.

At the same time the certificates are being distributed from Human Resources, the vendor will be sending the gift brochures directly to the employee’s home address.  The employee will return the order form directly to the vendor, not to UC. 

The University will continue to hold an annual recognition ceremony for reaching milestones of 20, 25, 30 etc.  The ceremony for 2006 is scheduled for Friday, May 12, 2006 at the Kingsgate Confernece Cetner.  There will not be an annual verification process, and other service recognition activities will be left to the discretion of the department.  The service recognition is based on the most recent hire date that is in the HRMS system.  If an employee believes he or she was excluded in error, verify the most recent hire date and contact Academic Health Center Finance and Administration.  If you have any further questions regarding the service awards feel free to contact Kelly A. Waikel @ 558-0296.
