Common use of Special Recognition Clause in Contracts

Special Recognition. The city manager or the department director may authorize a lump-sum special recognition award. This lump-sum award will not be incorporated into an employee’s base salary rate of pay for the purposes of computing overtime/compensatory time accruals, unless required by applicable law, but will remain a separate, one-time recognition of contribution or innovative ideas put to practice in the organization. An employee may be recommended for such an award for: 1. A project or work product that is specific and identifiable with both start and end dates. 2. A project or work product assignment that may be interdepartmental, with an assigned "total award" which is shared equally by all members of the task group. 3. A demonstrated level of creativity, skill, or conscientiousness that is beyond what is normally expected for the position. 4. Individual contribution or leadership without which the project or product results would not have been achieved, and which are beyond what is normally expected for the position. 5. Innovation or conscientiousness that may have resulted in substantial savings or reduced costs
