2425220 - Reward and Recognition Error: This employee is not eligible for the Spot Award program.

Symptom

When trying to send a spot award, searching for and selecting an employee causes an error:

This employee is not eligible for the Spot Award program.

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Reward and Recognition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log in to SuccessFactors
  2. Navigate to Home dropdown > Compensation
  3. Select the Reward and Recognition tab
  4. Search for someone to nominate
  5. Receive error

Cause

  • Employee is outside of the nominator's target population and/or program
  • An eligibility rule has not been associated to a spot award program

Resolution

Employee is outside of the nominator's target population and/or program

The employee must be part of the target population in the nominator's role-based permissions. To correct the target population, please review Implementing and Managing Reward and Recognition - Spot Award Permissions.


An eligibility rule has not been associated to a spot award program

For both Employee Central (EC) and Non-EC users, if no rules are associated under the eligibility tab, none of the employees are eligible for the program. For steps on how to associate a rule to the spot award program, please review Implementing and Managing Reward and Recognition - Assigning an Eligibility Rule to an Award Program.
