UCSF School of Pharmacy Staff Performance Award Program Staff Recognition and Development Program Fiscal Year 2009-10

The purpose of the Performance Award Program is to recognize employees who have demonstrated outstanding individual and/or team performance. The dollar amount of the awards will be determined by the total number of nominations. For example, if the award assessment is $50,000 and there are 50 approved nominations, then the total gross amount awarded each individual will be $1,000. Awards for part-time employees are pro-rated by the appointment percent.
