Employee Rewards & Recognition

Automate employee recognition with gift card rewards for milestones, achievements, and performance.

Overview

Common reward scenarios include:

  • Work anniversaries
  • Employee of the month programs
  • Performance-based recognition
  • Spot bonuses and peer recognition
  • Holiday and milestone rewards

Instead of issuing cash, organizations can deliver digital or physical gift cards as rewards.

How the API is Used

  • Trigger rewards automatically from HR or recognition systems
  • Send gift cards via email, SMS, or claim links
  • Support both one-off and bulk reward distribution
  • Track order and fulfillment status

Example Workflow

  • Employee reaches a milestone or earns recognition
  • Your system records the event
  • Your system triggers a reward via the API
  • The gift card is delivered to the employee
