Ask for more budget

Request Budget is at the bottom of your budget card, in the left panel of your Recognition home page. If it isn’t there, your company has turned budget requests off.

  1. Select Request Budget. The Request Additional Budget form opens.
  2. Under I would like to request points for, choose the budget, such as Rewards.
  3. Under Select country, choose the country the points are for.
  4. Under Budget request raised to, choose who gets the request. The list shows the HR admins for your department who can allocate budgets. If there aren’t any, it shows your company’s super admins.
  5. Enter Points Requested, up to 8 digits. Underneath, you’ll see what that’s worth in the country’s currency, for example “5000 points = 50 USD”.
  6. Select Confirm.

You’ll see “The request has been successfully sent.” The person you chose gets an email titled “Request for budget allocation” with your name, the budget, the country and the points.

Ask for more award quota

A quota card shows how many of each award you can still give or approve. It’s titled Nomination Quota Available or Approval Quota Available, and you see it if you approve nominations and your company uses quotas.

  1. Select Request Quota on the card. The Request Additional Quota form opens.
  2. Choose the award under Select Award.
  3. Choose how many under Quota Required, from 1 to 10.
  4. Choose who gets it under Quota request raised to.
  5. Write a Justification. You can’t confirm without one.
  6. Select Confirm.

The person you chose gets an email titled “Request for additional award quota”.

What happens next

Requests go by email only. The app doesn’t show whether yours was approved. If the admin adds points, they appear under Available Budget on your budget card. Added quota shows on your quota card. Admins add budget in Rewards Hub. See Budgets.

If something goes wrong

“The request has not been successfully sent.Please Try Again” The request wasn’t saved. Try again in a few minutes. If it keeps failing, email the admin directly.

The person you need isn’t in the list. The list comes from your department’s HR admins. Ask your HR team to check who’s set as HR admin for your department.
