Any eligible non-self-hired employee who refers a qualified applicant who AIM hires in a non-self-hired position (“Referred Employee”) shall be eligible to receive a three-hundred-dollar ($300.00) bonus (“Referral Bonus”). The Referral Bonus is earned and paid at the end of the second pay period following the Referred Employee’s date of hire, provided the Referred Employee remains employed through that time. The Referral Bonus will be subject to applicable federal and state withholdings.
Should the Referred Employee not remain employed through the close of the second pay period following their hire, the Referral Bonus will not be earned or paid.
To be eligible to receive the Referral Bonus described above, the referring employee must be employed by AIM when the bonus is earned. The Referred Employee must record the name of the employee who referred them for employment on their employment application. If no employee is identified on the Referred Employee's application, no bonus will be paid.

Due to the fiscal impact of this benefit, its continuance is reviewed annually as part of AIM's budget.
