Foursquare Support/Foursquare FAQ/Foursquare for Business Are employees eligible for rewards or mayorships? Jake Furst posted this on Aug-‐18 2010 12:11 No!! We encourage managers to idenFfy employees within Foursquare which will prevent them from unlocking rewards at locaFons or the ability to become the mayor. Managers can assign employees to each locaFon by adding them as employees.

This process ensures that your employees are properly listed, and prevent them from becoming the mayor or parFcipaFng in offers that are running on Foursquare but only at the venue they are listed as an employee of.
