Employee Referral Scheme Guide 

Non-management employees will be eligible for a referral payment, subject to:

  • The vacancy must have been advertised internally
  • If two employees introduce the same applicant, the employee who can demonstrate that they have introduced the applicant first will be eligible for the referral payment

The introduction form is to be completed below and submitted electronically.

If the individual is successful in their application and the referral eligibility criterion is met, the employee responsible for the introduction will receive up to £1,000.

New Referral

For all new referrals, not previously known/employed by the business, a referral payment of £1,000 will be made as per the following:

  • The first payment of £500 will be paid upon the new employee successfully completing three months of service, as confirmed by the manager
  • The second payment of £500 will be paid upon the new employee successfully completing six months of service as confirmed by the manager

Previous Employee Referral

    For the referral of a previous employee who left the business more than six months prior to the date the referral as made, a £500 will be made as set out below:

  • The first payment of £250 will be paid upon the new employee successfully completing three months of service, as confirmed by the manager
  • The second payment of £250 will be paid upon the new employee successfully completing six months of service as confirmed by the manager​

All payments will be processed through payroll and are subject to PAYE/NI deductions.

If the employee making the introduction leaves or is serving notice before the new employee completes the above period(s), they will not be eligible for any outstanding payments.

The referral scheme is non-contractual. The company reserves the right to amend, vary or withdraw the scheme to fit the needs of the business. Any disputes relating to the application of the scheme will be referred to the Group HR Manager.
