D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 6, r. 6-B1906
A Group Award is granted to recognize and reward a team of employees (minimum of two (2) employees) who collectively make a significant contribution to the financial or operational success of the District government or successfully complete an approved team project or plan that improves the work operations in their agency. Group awards may be either monetary or honorary, or both.
Each team or group member shall receive an equal award for the group's contribution to the District government, as determined by pre-established and approved plan provisions at the time of adoption by an agency Group Awards Steering Committee.
It is the responsibility of the agency head (or designee) to review and approve the project plan, the applicable performance measures, and the projected monetary awards. It is expected that the plan will incorporate performance goals that can be readily verified. The agency head is also responsible for overseeing the work as the year (or project) unfolds. If the project generates financial benefits to the District of Columbia, the City Administrator will be responsible for deciding if and how the benefits will be shared with responsible team or group members.
Awards granted under this section will be paid in addition to any other awards earned.
Honorary group awards shall be determined under the authority of the honorary awards section of this chapter. Monetary group awards shall be determined based upon the group incentive plan or project as approved.
The appropriate type of group award (monetary, honorary, or both) shall be determined by the Agency Steering Committee as specified in this chapter.
