Because some of the service awards are provided by local artisans, there are times when these
items are back ordered. It is important to order employees’ service awards early to ensure that
any shipping delays don’t disrupt award presentation plans and schedules.
Employee Notification (5 – 35+ Years of Service)
Accompanying the service award notification with a written acknowledgement of the employee's
service is highly recommended. This letter/email should state the length of service, thank the
employee, and provide information about why the employee is receiving the service award.
Additionally, the notification should instruct the employee on the award selection and ordering
process.
For Employees with email/internet access:
Refer employees to www.serviceawards.nc.gov by congratulatory email (See Appendix
A).
Include the email address of the service awards coordinator, as this email address is
where the employee will send their selection.
When employees visit the Service Awards website, they will be able to view .pdf files of
the awards by year by clicking on the labeled blue buttons.
Using the table included in the congratulatory email, employees will provide details of
their selection.
Employees will then send their selection email back to the agency service awards
coordinator.
For Employees without email/internet access:
Coordinators should create and send a congratulatory letter (See Appendix B). The
coordinator should include printed copies of the Service Awards .pdf files at
www.serviceawards.nc.gov. Coordinators must include the current award category and
previous years. For example, if the employee is eligible for a 15-year award, the coordinator
should print the 15, 10 and 5 year categories.
Using the included form, employees will make their selection, complete the form, and return
it to the service awards coordinator.
Ring Sizing
Employees who wish to order rings must include their ring size with their selection. Ring sizing
instructions are available on the website, or See Appendix C.
