The Business & Finance Policy Office announces an Open Comment for policy 4.3.3 Process Employee Recognition Awards from October 15–29, 2026.
Step 5 of the procedure is being updated to consolidate the approval for employee recognition award payments to match across University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Illinois Chicago, and University of Illinois Springfield.
All three universities will now allow unit head approval for awards less than $400, while awards $400 and up will require unit head and Chancellor (or designee) approval.
