0.0: Introduction to vRewards

Welcome to the guide for vStaff’s newest addition: vRewards. What is vRewards? vRewards is an all-new reward program that encourages interaction and cooperation between every employee with rewards to redeem via vCoins.

0.1: What are vCoins?

vCoins are an all new point-reward system made for vRewards. They’re not as simple as ‘gaining’ coins and redeem prizes. There are 2 types of vCoins:

  • Gift Coins: vCoins given by the system on a regular basis, they cannot be used to redeem anything. They are meant to be exchanged between employees.

  • DISCLAIMER: Gift Coins will reset to 50 every month, so be sure to gift those coins!

  • Spend Coins: When someone sends you Gift Coins, they’ll be Converted Spend Coins. These coins will be used to redeem products/rewards from the vRewards.
