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

Steps:
- Go to Control Panel → Engagement → Rewards.
- Click Manually Adjust Points.
-
Fill in:
- Employee Name
- Reward Category
- Points to be added or deducted (use a minus sign for deduction)
- Reason for adjustment
- Click Save.
2. Bulk import reward points (CSV)
Use case: Rewarding all employees who attended a training.
Steps:
- Go to Control Panel → Engagement → Rewards → Import
- Download the sample CSV template.
-
Fill in:
- Employee ID or Email
