17. What is CDP’s Reward Points Program?
CDP’s Reward Points Program was developed to provide employees with the opportunity to receive reward gifts beyond a single item applied to the employee community. CDP knows that one gift doesn’t fit all. CDP wants to provide options that would allow the employee to choose something that fits them personally. This program also allows employees to save points redeemable for larger rewards.
All full-time, non-probationary CDP employees are automatically enrolled into the program.

18. How are points earned?
You will earn points at two times per years of service at each of your employment anniversary dates {i.e. You will earn two points on your first employment anniversary date (2 Points x 1 year).}
You will earn 60 points if selected as the recipient of CDP’s Employee of the Mid Year program.

19. Can points be forfeited?
Points do not expire, but the program does have a cap in place. Reward points will not be awarded to those who have a balance greater than 300 points. The employee is responsible for redeeming their points at or before the 300 point cap to avoid forfeiture.
If your employment is terminated for any reason, your participation in the Reward Points Program will be terminated and the total balance of your accumulated points will be forfeited.
Points will be forfeited if you voluntarily choose to cancel your participation in the Reward Points Program or the Reward Points Program is terminated.
If your points are forfeited for any reason, we will not reinstate these points to your CDP Reward Points Balance.

20. How are points redeemable?
Points will be awarded and will be redeemed for rewards on a first earned, first redeemed basis. Points earned are available for redemption immediately. Once you accumulate the required number of points, you will be eligible to redeem them for your selected reward item.
Once points are redeemed for a reward item, the employee may exercise sole control of the item (i.e. give to family member or friend).
Contact HR to redeem points.

21. What can points be redeemed for?
Reward Points can be redeemed for any item off our Reward Points Program Item List.
