Immediate awards. Division chiefs may also make immediate exchange time awards to recognize an attorney’s extraordinary work that resulted in a peak workload over a discrete time period (e.g., trial, preliminary injunction), even though that work may not result in increased workload over the six (6) month period covered by the formula. The decision to grant any such award, and the amount of the award, are discretionary. To avoid duplication, immediate exchange time awards shall be subtracted from any biannual award for the same time period.
