Service Awards |
| 1. |
The Service Awards Program recognizes
employees’ service in increments of
five years through retirement. The value
of the award increases in proportion to
length of service. For each five year increment,
the employee receives a gift or jewelry
item of their choosing from the items available
in the state contract based upon funds available. |

Southwestern Community College will recognize
the employees that have reached these five
year benchmarks on an annual basis. The cutoff
date for determination of eligibility will
be no more than 60 days prior to the awards
ceremony. The awards ceremony is typically
held in August to coincide with the new academic
term. |

| Retirement Awards |
| 1. |
The Retirement Awards Program is offered
to employees reaching retirement at any service
level. In general, retirement items are available
to recipients from the "next highest
award category" except for jewelry items,
as the jewelling sequence causes this not
to be applicable. Selection of such awards
will most likely fall into one of the following:
| a. |
Employee retires with 30 years of
service: they may select their “30
years” service award from the
“30 years” award sheet.
The employee would also be eligible
to select a retirement award from the
next highest level, 35 plus years. |
| b. |
Employee retires with 17 years of
service: The employee would only be
eligible for the retirement award from
the 20 year level as they would not
be eligible for a service award at the
time of their retirement. |
The Office of Human Resources will coordinate
the Service Awards and Retirement Awards Programs.
