A: Yes, we value all referrals for any position. However, at this time, the reward program applies to external hires.
Q. Why are only salaried employee’s eligible for rewards?
A: Data availability and other technical challenges currently limit the capabilities of the platform. We hope to expand the program in the future.
Q. How long does the referred employee have to be employed at JM before I receive my cash award?

Q. Will I be taxed on the cash referral award?
A: Yes. Applicable taxes will be deducted.
Q. Is there a limit on how many people I can refer?
A: No. We encourage employees to continue playing a role in our search for talented individuals to join JM.
Q. Can I submit a referral’s information/resume directly to recruiter or HR?
A: In order to be eligible for any rewards, referrals must be submitted through jm.employeereferrals.com. Please use this avenue even if you are not eligible for or interested in receiving a reward in order to ensure proper processing.
Q. Can I get paid for a previously hired employee that I referred?
A: The JM Employee Referral Program officially begins on August 18th, 2015. Although we value all referrals, only those made through the jm.employeereferrals.com portal will be eligible for a reward.
Q: Why are there links to Facebook and Twitter on the EmployeeReferrals.com portal?
A: While Facebook and Twitter are blocked websites within the JM network, the jm.employeereferrals.com portal is a publicly accessible website. If you access the portal outside of the JM network you can get access to Facebook and Twitter.
Q: How are the payment levels (tiers) determined?
A: The payment levels are determined by the talent acquisition team and are directly related to the talent availability for a specific position. The talent availability is related to where the position is located and the function (accounting, information technology, engineering, etc.) In some of our more rural locations where the talent availability is small then the payment level is going to be higher. In other situations where the position is located in a higher populated area but the function is in high demand, the payment level is going to be higher.
Q: Who pays the referral fees?
A: For this particular program the referral fees will be paid from the human resources talent acquisition budget.
Q: What happens if the candidate I submit gets hired for another position?
A: If the referral you submitted is hired to a different position and it is within 6 months of the time you submitted them, you will be paid the referral fee designated for the position where they were hired.
