Impact Recognition Awards
This scheme (formerly known as Lump Sum awards) forms part of University’s arrangements for recognising and rewarding staff for exceptional performance and for their contribution to the University.
Impact Recognition Awards are designed to reward staff for a one-off or short-term contribution that is worthy of particular note. They are awarded by the Schools and Directorates. When paid to the employee, the lump sum is subject to tax and National Insurance deductions.
A nomination is made for an employee and the completed form is sent to the Head of School or Directorate to authorise the reward. Should the sum proposed be more than £1,500, the form will also be sent to the Director of Human Resources.
Once approved, a message will be sent to the employee to let them know they have an Impact Recognition Award and the payment will be made to the employee in the next available salary payment.
If you have any questions about submitting a nomination, please contact Sarah Haylett, Reward Coordinator
To make a nomination, the line manager accesses and completes the online form:
