The annual Service Awards reception for long-term employees will be held on Wednesday, May 16, from 2-4 p.m. at The Pointe.

Staff employees who were hired (and meet the eligibility requirements) in 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, and 1996 will be honored.

“Service” to the university is calculated as of Dec. 31, 2006, and is defined as full-time, part-time, temporary or permanent, continuous appointments. Hourly/intermittent appointments are not included in the calculations.

Employment at CSULB prior to a break in service is not included in the calculations without an employee’s request. Service from other CSU campuses is not included.

Service Award program calculations are separate and distinct from those of the Office of Payroll and Benefit Services and CalPERS.

Invitations will be sent to the awardees via campus mail in early April. For information, call Berta Hanson in Benefits and Staff Human Resources at 562/985-8798.
