Employee Referral Program

Purpose

Northwest Montessori House of Children, Inc. encourages employees to refer applicants for all open positions with the Company. Such referrals are a cost- effective recruiting tool. The Referral Bonus Program encourages employees to refer quality applicants for certain designated, open positions and rewards them monetarily when a placement is successful.

  • Eligible positions are these open positions, identified and which are posted at the Northwest Montessori House of Children, Inc., website (www.nwmontessori.net)
  • Overall, the program is aimed at enhancing the company's recruiting capabilities by increasing candidate selection pools, reducing cost-per-hire and boosting employee morale.

Eligibility

  • All Company employees are eligible to participate with the exception of:
    • Executive Officers ( Director and Assistant Director)
    • Individuals who have a direct reporting relationship with the candidate.
  • All candidates must meet the following criteria in order for the employee to be eligible for a referral bonus:
    • Cannot be a company temporary employee
    • Cannot be a relative of a current employee( relatives are defined as spouses, children, brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, grandchildren and in-laws)
    • Candidate must fill a position designated on the company website for the Employee Referral Program.

Policies

  • When a regular part-time employee recommends a qualified individual for a valid opening and the referral is hired as a regular full-time employee, a referral bonus will be paid, in one installment, after the new employee has been on the payroll for 90 days.
  • The Employee Referral Bonus amount is One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars. ($1,500.00)
  • Referral bonuses are normally paid on the first full pay period after the qualification has ended. Applicable taxes will be with-held.
  • Both the employee who made the recommendation and the employee who was hired must be employees of the company at the time the bonus payment is due. An employee who is on leave or temporary disability at the time the bonus payment is due, will have any bonus payment deferred until the employee returns from the leave of absence.
  • The referring employee shall submit the referred candidate's resume to the Director via e-mail or regular First Class Mail. Alternatively, the candidate may contact the Director directly and complete the application with the referring employee's name as a source of contact.
  • The Employee Referral Program will commence on 12/28/2009
