# Points

> Arca awards points when you complete tasks, encouraging momentum and recognizing consistent work.

Points are a built-in way to recognize and track contribution across your workspace. Every time an assigned task moves to a completed status, the assignees earn points automatically.

## How points are earned

| Action                                        | Points         |
| --------------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| Complete a task before its due date           | **3 points**   |
| Complete a task on time or after its due date | **1 point**    |
| Complete a subtask                            | **0.2 points** |

<Note>Points are only awarded to **assignees**. Unassigned tasks do not generate points when completed. If a task has multiple assignees, each one receives the full points.</Note>

## Early completion bonus

If a task has a due date set, completing it more than one hour before the deadline earns a **3-point bonus** instead of the standard 1 point. This rewards working ahead of schedule and encourages realistic planning.

## Where to see points

**Your own points** appear on your profile. Click any workspace member's avatar or name to open their profile and see their total points.

**Team leaderboard**: the **Insights** page (accessible from the sidebar) shows a **Top Performers** chart ranking all workspace members by their total points. Use this during planning sessions or retrospectives to recognize high contributors.

<Tip>Points accumulate over the lifetime of the workspace. Encourage your team to assign tasks before marking them complete so everyone's contribution is captured.</Tip>
