The Awards Page provides a place to list all job-related awards that an employee has earned. This screen tracks awards by name of the award, date it was given, and associated monetary value, if any. Additionally, the record allows Beacon HR users to indicate whether the award was given on the spot (OTS) and if it is a Service Recognition Award (SRA). There is also a column which indicates whether HRDB has recognized the award as official.




Note: If the award is official, the information is read-only and cannot be edited.

Adding Awards


If a user has privileges to add awards, a highlighted row will appear at the bottom of the employee’s award list.


To add an award, click on theicon.


In the the box simply type in the date the award was received and monetary value associated with the award (if any) in the available text fields. Click on the down arrow to choose the type of award received from the “Award Received” drop-down menu. Checkmark whether the award was received on the spot and whether it is a service recognition award.

Note that any awards that you add are not official. They must be recognized by HRDB before a checkmark appears in the official column.


When you are finished entering the Award information, click on the ADD button to add the award to the employee’s record.

If users have appropriate rights, they can edit an employee’s award record. Only awards that HRDB does not recognize as official by can be edited.

The award will now be modifiable.  Once you are done making the changes click on the SAVE button.
