All employees are eligible to purchase a monthly bus pass at approximately one-half the
cost. This pass allows the employee unlimited travel during the month on Winston-Salem Transit
Authority buses. Bus passes may be obtained in the Revenue Department.

Acceptable forms of payment are: cash, personal check, money order, credit card or
debit card. You must present your employee ID in order to purchase this bus pass.

KK. Employee Recognition

As an expression of its appreciation, the City presents awards to employees who
complete 10 years of continuous service and for each succeeding five-year period until
retirement. These awards are presented by the Mayor, City Council and City Manager at the
annual Employee Excellence Awards Program.

In addition to the above-mentioned service recognitions, the City recognizes employees
for outstanding performance. An external committee of citizens reviews nominations and selects
a winner in each of five employment categories: Team Player, Core Values, Outstanding
Supervisor, Rising Star and Customer Service.

LL. Employee Suggestion Program

The Employee Suggestion Program is designed to help employees develop and
demonstrate their initiative and ingenuity by providing them with an opportunity to offer
constructive ideas for improving City operations. It provides awards to eligible employees for
practical ideas which offer savings in time and material or result in improved methods of safety.

Any employee who wishes to offer a suggestion under this program should complete a
suggestion form. These forms are available through the Marketing and Communications
Department or at http://wshome.cityofws.org/wshome/forms/forms.
