Service Awards Criteria

Years of service for ASI, Cal Poly Partners, and State employees are calculated by their respective Human Resources office. Each calculation is based on years of service through the end of the previous calendar (not academic) year (for example, 2027 Annual Service awards will be based on service through December 31, 2026). Intermittent appointments and emergency hire appointments are not included in the calculation of years of service.

Our current policy for retirees who are achieving their 25, 30, 35, 40 or greater years of service award, is to include those on the eligibility list who:

• Retire after July 1  AND
• Would have reached their service award date had they continued employment through the rest of the year.

If you have any questions about eligibility, please contact the Human Resources office for your area.
