Employee Referral Program

Roers is always interested in having great people join our team and you can help. Research has shown, and our own experience supports this, that new employees who come into a company through employee referrals are excellent contributors and stay with the company longer.

This is where you come in! If you know someone who would be a very good employee for any of our open positions and they meet the qualifications for that position, it could be worth $1000 to you if you refer them for employment and they are hired!

Refer qualified candidates to Human Resources using the attached candidate referral form (other forms of written communication will be accepted). If your candidate is hired for regular full-time or part-time you will be awarded $250 after they have been employed 3 months, $250 at 6 months, and $500 at 12 months. All referral payments will be made to the referring employee on the first paycheck after the new employee meets the employment requirements.  Applicable tax withholdings will be deducted from the referral payment. 

In a situation where a candidate is referred for temporary employment (such as seasonal employment) the referring employee will be awarded a $250.00 payment after the candidate has been employed for 60 continuous days.  All referral payments for temporary employment will be made to the referring employee on the first paycheck after the temporary employee meets the employment requirements.  Temporary employees cannot be engaged for a period of longer than 6 months.

Referral Guidelines

  1. All Roers employees are eligible for this program except for those employees at an Executive level or higher.
