Employee Rewards & Recognition
HR Policy: QSP-HR-026
The Rewards and Recognition (R&R) Policy of Pinnacle Infotech Solutions is designed to motivate and
acknowledge the exceptional efforts of our employees in various functions and capacities, whose individual or
team performances significantly contribute to the company's overall objectives and business performances.
The R&R scheme is revamped, and the recognition program is renamed “STAR AWARDS,” introducing a variety of
awards tailored to the significance of the contributions.
A. OBJECTIVE:
The scheme is designed to provide a continuum of opportunities:
▪ To encourage a performance-driven culture
▪ To recognize the outstanding contribution/effort by an individual/team based on their contributions.
▪ To motivate employees towards achieving success, fostering a culture of mutual respect, and
building a positive work environment.
The R&R Framework is designed to recognize and acknowledge the performance of the employees at:
▪ Business Excellence
▪ People and Culture
The R&R matrix provides information regarding the target groups/individuals (achievers), the qualifying
criteria, and the reward quantum.
D. OPERATIVE GUIDELINES:
I) Nomination Process:
▪ Individuals or Managers from all departments and functions can nominate themselves or their team
members through the Web Portal (BPMS Portal R&R section)
▪ Nomination can be in not more than two categories.
▪ Supporting Documents must be furnished against each Award Category for proper validation.
▪ The nominations must be submitted in the BPMS portal, which will be enabled across locations. The
announcement for nomination will follow through.

HR Policy: QSP-HR-026
▪ Consistent and meaningful evaluation processes drive the policy to determine the transparency of
relevant and specific rewards and sanctions.
▪ The policy focuses on formal recognition and reward measures. It will neither specify nor abolish
other informal ways of appreciation and encouraging good behavior and results (such as regularly
providing relevant and timely feedback, Appreciation Cards, etc.).
▪ The policy will be fair and transparent. HR will maintain the confidentiality of the nominations and
announce the results to the nominees who will be present at the R&R ceremony to receive the
awards.
▪ In case of any absence of awardees during the R&R program event, the award will not be entertained
after the ceremony. Both the certificates and the prize money will be forfeited in such circumstances.
E. POWER TO AMEND:
HR / Management reserves the right to change or discontinue any/all provision(s) of this directive,
including but not limited to the entitlement and procedure, at any point in time. This policy is subject to
periodic review and amendments to align with the company's evolving goals and objectives.
In the event of confusion or opinions of a diverse nature concerning the interpretation of one or any part
of the Star Awards program, including its implementation, the opinion provided by HR head /
Management will be considered final and conclusive.
