Question

Dear HR Professionals,

We are currently reviewing our referral bonus quantum and would like to hear from you the quantum you are providing to employees who made successful referrals for openings within the company. We are currently giving $350 per successful referral.

Thank you.

We provide a referral award of $2,000 once the candidate is confirmed after the probation period.

Our company gives out a referral bonus of $500 to any employee who has successfully referred a suitable employee to join us. The new employee will have to stay for a minimum of 6 months before the referral bonus is given out to the referrer.

It depends on the reason for the change in the referral bonus. One of the policies for your reference below:

Sales personnel
$1,000 payable to staff upon confirmation of the referred candidate

$2,000 payable to staff upon completion of 1-year service by the candidate

Non-Sales
$500 payable to staff upon confirmation of the referred candidate

$1,000 payable to staff upon completion of 1-year service of by the candidate

Reasons behind this structure:

Why payable after confirmation?
- Quality of candidate
- Quality of referral by staff

Why 2nd payment after 1 year of service
- Retention of existing and new staff
- Staff who referred the new joiner will also be partially responsible to ensure the staff referred stays with the company

For your reference.

We do have a referral policy. That is paid to the employee who referred after three months provided both the referrer and referee are still active in the payroll system.

We use to provide a referral amount of $500 but so far none of the employees has claimed it.
