1. INTRODUCTION
Castle Hill RSL Club Ltd (CHRG) places great importance on referrals because we trust our employees know what’s best for our business and we believe that employee referrals are one of the most successful ways to attract talented people. To this end, we encourage all employees to recommend potential candidates.
The purpose of this policy is to:
Encourage our team to assist the recruitment process by referring the right candidate to the business.
Ensure the application of the rules relating to referral incentives are applied consistently and fairly across the business.
This policy applies to all employees of CHRG, with the exception of:
The senior leadership team.
Those who are involved in the recruitment and/or selection process for the preferred candidate.
The manager of the introduced candidate where that manager is the referrer and is able to determine whether the candidate has successfully completed their probationary period.
2. INCENTIVES
2.1.Referral and Hire
If you refer a qualified candidate (they must meet the minimum qualifications listed for the job) to CHRG, who is then hired in a casual or permanent capacity, and successfully completes their first shift, you will receive a $50 loaded onto your CHRG Connect card.
2.2.Completion of Probation
If you refer a candidate who is then hired in a permanent capacity, and successfully completes their 6-month probation, you will receive an incentive payment of $500 (inclusive of superannuation).
Once the referred employee is hired and successfully completes their 6-month probationary period, the referring employee will receive the referral incentive through payroll on the next payroll cycle and will be subject to applicable PAYG withholding tax.
3. ELIGIBILITY
If more than two employees refer the same candidate, the first employee to refer a candidate will be the only referring employee eligible for the incentive payment.
Referrers are still eligible for rewards even if a referred candidate is hired later or gets hired for a position other than the original position they were referred for.
All potential candidates will be evaluated based on our recruitment selection criteria consistent with our policies and procedures, and all information regarding the hiring decision will remain strictly confidential.
There’s no limit on the number of referrals you can make. All incentives will be paid accordingly, per referral.
Referrers must be employed by CHRG at the time the referral incentive is due for payment in order to receive payment.
4. RESTRICTIONS
There is one restriction for candidates who can qualify the referrer for the Referral and Hire incentive:
The candidate cannot have previously worked for CHRG within the past 2 years.
