Award for successful referral
When the referred employee is hired and has completed six months on the job, the $1,000 award
will be paid to the referring employee as soon as administratively possible. Award amounts are
included in the employee’s pay check and are taxable (included in gross income).
An employee cannot earn more than $5,000 annually in referral awards. No more than $1,000
will be paid for any single referral that results in a hire.
If the candidate is hired into a position other than the one he or she was referred for, the referring
employee will receive a $500 award, less applicable taxes.
The hiring manager’s cost center will be charged.
