31030.3.2.4 Award Process

  • Upon receipt of an approved nomination form from the Office of the Secretary, the MAA requests payment for the recommended award amount from the employee’s payroll office. The State Controller’s Office deducts applicable taxes from the award amount.

  • In lieu of cash payment, the Department may present a gift equal in value to the award amount; however, this practice is discouraged as it puts the burden of claiming the taxable gift on the recipient(s).

  • In addition to a monetary award, award recipients may receive a framed certificate commemorating their accomplishment. The design, purchase, and printing of the certificate are at the discretion of the Department.
