Generating Performance Award Actions
Please use this guide to generate your performance awards in FPPS. These directions will help ensure timeliness and accuracy in completing this process.
IBC HR will process awards received by close of business November 18, 2022. Awards received after the close of business November 18, 2022, will be processed accordingly.
If you have an employee who is separating prior to the performance processing deadline who should receive an award, please contact your servicing Human Resources office.
