The way budget management is handled for self-nominations depends on how your organization has set up the award system. There are two main scenarios: 

1. Approver-Based Budget Deduction 

In this setup, the award budget comes from the approver’s funds, not yours. Here’s how it works: 

• When you self-nominate, your personal recognition budget remains untouched. 

• If your nomination is approved, the award amount is deducted from the approver’s budget. 

• In cases where there are multiple levels of approval, the final approver’s budget is usually used. 

2. Nominator-Based Budget Deduction 

In this scenario, your self-nomination taps into your own recognition budget: 

• If approved, the award amount is deducted from your personal allocation. 

• This approach encourages you to be thoughtful about when and why you self-nominate, treating it similarly to how you’d nominate a colleague.
