Certificates, Note Card and Post-it Templates

Departments can purchase recognition certificates, note cards and post-its through government's stationary stockroom catalogue. The items can be viewed at the Stationery Stockroom Catalogue, under "C" the heading "Employee Recognition Certificates". For quick viewing, please see the images provided below.

Service Milestone Certificates

These certificates have been created for departments to use when recognizing their employees for service milestones. (The recognition policy requires that all departments recognize employees for 5, 10, 15 and 20 years of government service; government's corporate Long Service Award program recognizes employees for service milestones of 25 years and greater.)

An additional certificate has been provided for departments that choose to recognize employees for their 1-4 or 6-9 year service anniversaries.
