Formal recognition

Formal recognition schemes involve public recognition and/or a financial reward.

If you nominate someone staff for such a scheme, make sure to still use informal forms of praise and recognition.

• Making the Difference bonus scheme policy
  Rewards individuals or teams for an outstanding one-off or short-term contribution with a lump sum payment.
• Rewarding Excellence 
  Recognises individuals for sustained outstanding contribution or over-achievement with an additional salary increment.
• Temporary responsibility allowance 
  Paid for carrying out some or all of the duties of a higher-graded post on a temporary basis.
• Vice-Chancellor's Teaching Awards 
  For those demonstrating excellence in teaching and/or learning support.

Please note that role reviews should not be used as a mechanism for recognising good performance. A role review should be used where there is a business need for a higher graded role.
