UCLA’s Staff Appreciation and Recognition (STAR) Plan for FY 2017-2018 guidelines are consistent with Staff Policy 34, Incentive and Recognition Award Plans and provide a basis to recognize staff members for their achievements and outstanding contributions to the department, organization, and/or the campus.
STAR Plan eligibility requirements for policy-covered staff (PSS and MSP) are described in the Guidelines. Highlights are noted below:
Campus departments may contact CHR Compensation Services for questions.
- Awards are in the form of a lump sum and may not exceed 10% of an employee’s base salary or a maximum of $10,000, whichever is less. Organizations may establish lower award limits. (The XSL DOS Code should be used to process all cash awards that fall within the STAR Plan.)- The Chancellor has delegated authority for approval of any awards that exceed $5,000 to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost, Deans, Vice Provosts, and Vice Chancellors for employees within their jurisdiction. This authority may not be re-delegated.
- Policy-covered staff must be on pay status for at least six months and have successfully completed their probationary period, if applicable; they must be on pay status at the time of the payout to receive an award.
- Please note that the Clerical Unit (“CX”) and UCLA Skilled Trades Unit (“K4”) represented employees are eligible for STAR awards under the same terms and conditions that apply to policy-covered employees.
- All awards require specific documentation of performance and achievements that are the basis for the award. Only those employees who have achieved a performance rating of “meets expectations” or better are eligible to receive an award. Please utilize theCHR Award Nomination Formfor the necessary documentation of award approval.
What is the Team Safety Challenge?
The Team Safety Challenge is an award incentive program designed to remind individual Facilities Management (FM) work units and their respective employees that adhering to safety rules is important because it prevents work injuries from occurring. In addition, each employee is responsible for following safety rules, procedures and protocol because it reduces the likelihood an employee will be injured while performing his/her work duties.
Facilities Management employees can obtain additional information regarding the Team Safety Challenge from their supervisors of the Facilities Management Safety Coordinator.
