What are spot awards?
A Spot Award is an award designed to grant
“immediate” recognition to individuals or
groups of employees for their day-to-day
extra efforts and contributions.
Types of Spot Awards:
Performance Awards - Cash awards that are based solely on employees’ performance
ratings of record assigned at the end of the appraisal period. These awards are intended to
recognize sustained levels of successful performance over the course of the rating period.
Special Act or Service Awards - Lump-sum cash awards that recognize specific
accomplishments that are in the public interest and have exceeded normal job require- ments.
These awards can be for individual or group contributions. On-the-spot (OTS) awards are
special act or service awards which normally provide immediate recognition for employees, are
limited in amount (e.g., $250 or less), and delegate award approval to first-line supervisors.
Quality Step Increases (QSI) - Awards for sustained high-quality performance that
provide faster-than-normal progression through the step rates of the General Schedule. Unlike
other forms of monetary recognition, QSI’s permanently increase an employee’s rate of basic
pay. No more than one QSI may be granted to an employee in the same 52-week period.
Time-off Awards (TOA) - The granting of time off without charge to leave or loss of pay to
an employee as an individual or member of a group. The value of a TOA is time, not money.
A TOA may not be converted to cash.
