The EMIE Award program provides immediate recognition each month for an employee’s demonstration of excellent service to internal or external customers, behaviors and values toward promoting a positive work environment, extraordinary teamwork or leadership, improving efficiency with a new or modified business practice, performance on a special project, exemplary effort, teaching excellence, employee appreciation, and/or demonstrating behaviors enhancing the mission of the College. Any employee, regardless of employment status, is eligible to be nominated for an EMIE Award.

Procedures for the EMIE Award Program: Any employee may nominate another staff or faculty member for the EMIE Award by completing the EMIE Award Form. Each calendar month a random drawing of one name from all nominations collected in that month will be held.

Full-time faculty and staff selected for the EMIE Award from the drawing will be allowed to select either one day of paid leave (8 hours) or $100. Hourly or adjunct employees selected will be paid $100. The monetary award of $100 will be paid through the employee’s payroll on the nearest pay date following the drawing allowing for processing implications.

Managers and nominated employees will receive a copy of the employee’s nomination form and the original will be placed in the personnel file.
