Employee Referral Program
Employee Referral Program is an integral part of our overall recruiting strategy and encourages employees to utilize their existing contacts and networks as potential sources for qualified candidates. Thinkhat Software Inc., (hereinafter Thinkhat) Employee Referral Program provides a monetary incentive for existing employees to refer qualified external candidates and awards $1500 for regular jobs, $2,000 for moderately hard-to-fill jobs and $3,000 for most-difficult-to-fill jobs to employees whose referral of an external candidate leads to a successful hire.
Referral Program Requirements:
Referrals need to be made to a specific open position
Note:

  • Award payments are made within 45 days after the successful referral reports to work.

  • Referring Thinkhat employee must be employed at the time of referral and time of payments.

  • Referred applicant must be Thinkhat employed at time of payments.

  • Awards will be grossed up for income tax purposes and will appear on the employee's W2 statement as income earned.

  • There is no limit on the number of referrals that an employee can make, and there is no limit on the number of awards an employee can receive.

  • Because referral awards do not increase an employee's base pay rate, the amount of the award will not be included in the calculation of benefits provided for retirement or for AD&D, life, and disability insurance or for overtime payment for non-exempt positions
