Common use of Employee Referral Incentive (Pilot) Clause in Contracts

Employee Referral Incentive (Pilot). ‌ At its discretion, the Appointing Authority may offer a referral incentive of up to $1,000 to current employees who successfully refer a new employee who accepts a hard-to-fill position. • Whether or not a position is deemed “hard-to-fill” is determined by MMB. Once MMB makes that determination, the Appointing Authority has the discretion to determine whether and to whom a referral incentive may be given, within the parameters set forth in this section. • Employees requesting a referral incentive must do so in a manner approved by the Appointing Authority. • The total amount of the referral incentive shall not exceed $1,000 per position filled, and shall be paid in a single installment no sooner than after the new hire has successfully completed probation and been certified. • The referring employee must still be employed with the State at the time of payment eligibility in order to receive the incentive. • This provision is not subject to the grievance or arbitration process. The provisions in Section 19 and Section 20 become effective upon the contract’s successful ratification by the legislature, and will sunset upon the legislature’s ratification of the 2021- 2023 contract. However, employees awarded these incentives during this contract period remain eligible to receive the full payment in subsequent contracts even if this pilot program is discontinued.
