Employee Referral Incentive This time last year, we began our new employee referral incentive where current employees could earn a day of PTO for referring a new hire. Once the new hire completes one year of service, our current employee is credited with the PTO. We are thankful for the following employees who are the first people to earn a day of PTO as of 4/24/23: Bo Brown-Roads and Bridges Andralyn Graham-Engineering Chase Hinson-Recreation We will continue to recognize our employees each month that earn PTO for new hire referrals. Keep up the great work!

If you would like to have a one-on-one meeting with the Mission Square representative, Melissa Doughty, she will be available both Monday and Tuesday May 8th and May 9th, 2023, in the HR Conference room, Building B, Evans, GA.
