When an employee is re-hired their employment records should be evaluated to determine an adjusted service factor. Departments should request the review from the Employee Relations and Organizational Development Department of Human Resources. The correct service date must be entered in PeopleSoft.
PROCEDURE
On a quarterly basis Human Resources notifies the department head or designated representative of the service award recipients from his/her department. Human Resources coordinates delivery of the service award gift and certificate packets to the designated representative in the department.
