Purpose

The Reward Points system in HRStop helps companies track, credit, adjust, and redeem points earned by employees through engagement activities such as quizzes, surveys, punctuality, or awards.


Key actions admins can perform


1. Manually adjust reward points

Use case: HR wants to reward an employee for helping with an office event.

Steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel → Engagement → Rewards.
  2. Click Manually Adjust Points.
  3. Fill in:
    • Employee Name
    • Reward Category
    • Points to be added or deducted (use a minus sign for deduction)
    • Reason for adjustment
  4. Click Save.

2. Bulk import reward points (CSV)

Use case: Rewarding all employees who attended a training.

Steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel → Engagement → Rewards → Import

  3. Fill in:
    • Employee ID or Email
    • Reward Category
    • Points
    • Comments
  4. Upload the CSV and click Submit.

The system processes the file and reflects the reward entries in the dashboard.

Depending on the configured settings, employees can request rewards manually.
