Compensation and rewards
Annual service awards
Each year, formal tribute is made acknowledging faculty and staff service (in five-year increments).
2012 marks the 41st annual service award celebration for VCU and VCU Medical Center faculty and staff with five to 50 years of service.
Eligibility
The cut-off date for this year's service award eligibility is September 30, 2012. Please note that information is calculated from award-eligible service only and may not reflect an individual's total state service. For example:
- Paid service at VCU and the VCU Health System is included in calculating eligibility for recognition.
- Service earned at other state agencies/higher education institutions is not included in calculating eligibility for recognition.
Adjunct service
Adjunct service counts toward service award eligibility. The employing department/dean's office must notify HR of the eligible service of adjunct employees. Contact Debbie Fitzgerald or call (804) 828-1521 for more information on calculating adjunct service or to add eligible adjunct employees to this year's recipient list.
Employment termination
To be eligible for participation in this year's recognition program, faculty and staff must be employed by VCU or the VCU Health System as of August 1, 2012. (Otherwise, their names will be deleted from this year's recipient list.) Exception: employees who retire in the year in which they are due to receive service recognition are eligible to participate in that year's program.
