What does the small cup or trophy icon mean, beside an employee's name in the Payroll Employee List?

Hi there, 

Welcome back to the Community! It's exciting to learn you're using QuickBooks to help manage your employees' payroll with ease. I'll be glad to provide more details so you can continue to navigate the program with confidence. 

The icon you've mentioned indicates that your employee's anniversary is on the day you're seeing the icon. This helps make it easy for you to keep track of your employees' anniversaries annually. While there isn't much more to share about the icon in question, you're more than welcome to ask other questions. 

I'll be a message away in case you need anything else. Otherwise, I wish you a prosperous 2023 for you and your business.
