Policy Statement

The Years of Service Award is an annual lump sum payment based on an employee's years of service to the University. The Years of Service Award is paid to employees with at least 5 years of regular employment and every 5 years going forward.

Employment with the University does not have to be continuous as long as employment was in a full/part-time regular position. Time in a temporary position will not count toward years of service.

Employees in part-time positions will receive a years of service award one half (½) the dollar amount as full time employees.

Human Resources is responsible for monitoring when employees are eligible for a years of service award and for paying out such years of service award. Employee will receive payment by the second pay period of the month following their anniversary. Payment will be made in conjunction with employee’s regular pay.
