A file is established, and the suggestion is reviewed for clarity and eligible subject matter. If not approved, the suggestion is returned to the originator with an explanation as to why it is not approved. When an adopted suggestion results in monetary savings to the state or university, a monetary award is granted to the suggester. The department which benefits from the implemented cost savings of the suggestion will fund the award to the suggester. Instead, the employee receives a certificate from the suggestion program.
Additional recognition is left to the departments.
When an adopted suggestion results in intangible benefits, a non-monetary award is granted. Non-monetary awards are based on an accumulation of points awarded for the degree of suggestion impact for specified intangible factors as indicated in the State Employees Incentive Bonus Program policy.
