Employee Referral Bonus Program

Purpose:

If you work at Rocky Mountain Care and you help bring in a new worker who gets hired and stays, you could get a bonus.

Eligibility and Participation:

Who can be referred: The person you refer can’t already work for Rocky Mountain Care or any of its related companies.

Who can refer someone: Almost all employees can refer new people, expect Directors, Administrators, and Executives.  Directors can only refer people to other departments, not their own.

What jobs count: The job has to be one that’s hard to fill. The company decides if a job is hard to fill by looking at how important it is, if it’s hard to find people for it, and if there’s a lot of turnover. The following factors should be considered when designating a position as “hard-to-fill”:

• • How critical the position is to the company’s operation and mission
  • The success of recent efforts to recruit candidates and retain employees in like positions
  • The availability in the labor market of well-qualified candidates for employment
  • Recent turnover in similar positions
  • Special qualifications needed for the position, and
  • Other unique factors that demonstrate difficulty in filling the position.

Referral Bonus Amount:

• Referral bonus payments will vary according to position, location, need and availability
• Referral bonuses are paid according to the schedule below, unless otherwise stated
  • $100 (10%) of referral bonus awarded on the 10th of the month paycheck following 30 days from the hire date
  • $300 (30%) of referral bonus awarded on the 10th of the month paycheck following 90 days from the hire date
  • $600 (60%) of referral bonus awarded on the 10th of the month paycheck following 180 days from the hire date

Referral Bonus Program Administration:

The Referral Program operates in accordance with the following program requirements:

• Referral bonuses are awarded at the discretion of management with the VP of the business unit or their designee having final approval authority
• There is no “cap” on the number of bonuses that may be paid out.
• Funding for the program must come from existing budget resources
• A referral form is required to be submitted by either the applicant at time of hire, or by the referring employee within 3 days of new employee’s start date
• Each location must designate a position as “hard-to-fill” before a candidate is hired
• Both the referred employee and the employee receiving the referral bonus must be employed at the time of payout to receive the bonus
• HR will monitor the use of the Referral Bonus Program and will resolve any discrepancies
• The hiring process will be fair and consistent with the company’s policies and procedures, with no bias for or against candidates whose selection might make another employee eligible for a referral bonus.
