General

Question: I have a general question about Employee Recognition. Who do I contact?
Answer: Contact wsuemployeerecognition@wayne.edu.

Years of Service

Question: I believe I should have been recognized at this year's ceremony.  Who do I contact?
Answer: Contact wsuemployeerecognition@wayne.edu.  If it is determined that you should have been recognized, you will be added to the program for the upcoming year and will be allowed to select a service award at that time as well.

Question: I have been here for at least 10 years and have never received years of service recognition. Who can I contact about this?
Answer: Please e-mail your inquiry to wsuemployeerecognition@wayne.edu.

Question: I was a temporary employee (formerly known as a technician) before I became a regular full-time employee. Is that time counted towards my total years of service?
Answer: No. Unfortunately, temporary employment time cannot be counted toward your years of service.

Question: I was a student assistant/instructional assistant/graduate-graduate research assistant/part-time faculty before I became a regular full-time employee. Is that time counted towards my total years of service?
Answer: No. Unfortunately, the time cannot be counted toward your years of service.

Question: I have taken a leave (or other time off) during my time at the university. How does that affect my years of service?
Answer: Leaves of Absence such as sabbaticals, personal leaves, maternity and childcare leaves, military leaves, paid and unpaid illness leaves, administrative leaves, and layoffs are counted in an employee's service. Regular illness, vacation time, any purpose time, and other regular paid days off do not affect your years of service.

Question: I worked at the university years ago and recently returned. Will that time I spent at the university previously be counted towards my years of service?
Answer: Employee recognition's definition of "years of service" varies from the years of service policy. If you returned to the university and your previous assignment was benefit-eligible, that service will be counted for employee recognition years of service.

Retirees

Question: I was already recognized as a retiree and decided not to retire or returned to employment. If I retire again will I be recognized again at the Employee Recognition Ceremony?
Answer: If you were recognized as a retiree in the past we are unable to recognize you again in a subsequent year.

Question: I am considering retiring in the next year. What do I need to do to be recognized as a retiree?
Answer: Please contact the HR Service Center (askhr@wayne.edu) to officially notify them of your retirement plans in writing.

Please visit the retiring website for more information.
