Contract vendors have established a monetary award program for their workers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as a mechanism for recognizing exceptional individual and team contributions. Contract workers may be nominated individually or as part of a team that includes LANS employees and/or other contract workers. The CAP runs annually, April through March.
Contract workers employed by Butler Service Group, Comforce Technical Services, Orion Technical Resources, and The Plus Group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory are eligible for the Contract-Worker Award Program.
The Contract-Worker Award Program is intended to recognize exceptional contributions or noteworthy achievements that surpass the expectations or goals defined for a job. Examples of such accomplishments might include:
Division/Program offices/HR Generalists/personnel contacts will provide the HR-Systems with approved nominations of contract workers for the Contract-Worker Award Program. HR-Systems will coordinate the award with the appropriate contract vendor.
A CAP Nomination Form (pdf) must be completed (by the nominating organization) in order to nominate contract workers for awards. Submit approved nomination forms to
HR-Systems, MS P293.
Contract vendors will prepare award certificates and individual checks.
Note: Notification of the award MUST NOT take place until the check has been processed.
| Maximum Award Amounts | |
|---|---|
| Individual | $1,000 |
| Team | $2,500 |
Organizations will be notified of their allocation, which is based on .1% of the total contract-worker payroll by Division/Program. Cost of the Award will be recharged to the approving organization and may include contract vendor markup.
Contract vendors will provide the award checks and certificates. CAP awards may be presented at any time during the year. It is recommended that the timing of the awards be closely tied to the event being recognized. The award presentation will be mutually coordinated between the respective contractor vendor(s) and the respective Laboratory manager(s).
Contact your HR Systems/Service Center Representative for guidance in preparing nominations or other information about the program.
