RCUH Service Award Program Now Quarterly

Since its inception, the RCUH Service Award Program has been administered annually. RCUH is pleased to announce that effective March 28, 2024, the program will be administered quarterly. Policy 3.440 has been updated to reflect this change.

The RCUH Service Award Program rewards and recognizes Regular-status employees, regardless of FTE, who have been continuously employed with RCUH. Eligible employees are recognized after ten (10) years of continuous service and every five (5) years thereafter.

Service award recipients will receive a certificate and monetary award. The monetary award will be processed through payroll and will be deposited to the employee’s account via direct deposit.
