Members of the Pay Committee and the Human Resources Control Unit administrator group will be on hand to explain the new distribution timeline, listen to comments and answer questions. Nominations for the award are due Nov. 30 and will be announced in January. The 1998 Distinguished Service Awards would normally have been processed last spring but were delayed as part of a revised plan instituted by Berkeley's vice chancellors. Under the new plan, the awards coincide with the fall performance evaluations and merit increase cycles. However, because the vice chancellors wanted more time for guideline development, this year's awards missed that time period and are being implemented now.
Supervisors nominate their staff for exceptional performance on either an individual or team basis.
Selection criteria for the award includes exceptional contributions, noteworthy achievements and exceeding job expectations as demonstrated in the performance evaluation, according to Human Resources documentation.
