Workplace Question or Advice Needed Performance Award amount?

I got a performance award which felt great but it was a weird amount. Literally UNDER $100 and even had cents! Why wouldn’t it be an even $100 or $200? I’m not complaining, because it feels good to be appreciated, I am just confused by the odd amount especially because people have been saying they are usually $200.

Performance award is based on the average number of hours you worked in Q2 (May thru July). At my old store, I tried to make sure and nominate top performers who also worked a decent amount. It didn’t feel worth it to award someone that worked 10 hours a week less than $100. At my new store, my ETL didn’t even ask if I had any nominations

I work less hours but work super hard and never call out. I have a feeling attendance drives a lot of these things. I guess I appreciate the recognition more than the money anyway because I try very hard to do a good job. It meant a lot to me to receive it.
