Length-of-Service Recognition

Scope

This policy applies to all regular employees.

Policy Statement

It is a practice of the university to recognize the service of its employees. Length-of-service acknowledgements are presented to individuals for milestone anniversaries in five year increments beginning with their fifth year (e.g., 5, 10, 15, etc.).

Employees who terminate employment prior to their anniversary date are not eligible for the service acknowledgement.

Employees eligible for a service acknowledgement and who are on a leave of absence receive the acknowledgement upon return to active employment.

Procedures

Length of service certificates are distributed to supervisors along with applicable awards. At the discretion of the supervisor, a modest celebration of the individual's service is appropriate.

A special reception, hosted by the office of the president, is held for employees celebrating 25 years of service.
