Wood’s Powr-Grip (WPG) believes our employees are our most valuable resource and we are continually looking to add good, new members to the team. Because of this, WPG is implementing a New Employee Referral Bonus Program in which current employees can be provided an incentive award if they refer applicants to apply to join our WPG team, the applicant is hired and the applicant has success as a WPG employee.

Program Rules:
1. Referral Eligibility- “Referring Employee”: All WPG employees are eligible to refer applicants and receive the incentive award with the exception of the following:
- President or Vice President
- HR Personnel
- Managers/Supervisors/Assistant Supervisors associated with selection of the candidate, and/or to whom a candidate would report, and
- Family members of the applicant
2. “Applicants” are all persons who are not currently or have not previously been employed
or interviewed by WPG and who are subject to the following conditions:
- The referred applicant must represent the applicant’s first contact with Wood’s Powr-Grip.
Temporary, summer, contract, and former employees of Wood’s Powr-Grip are not
eligible candidates for referral awards as an applicant. - The hiring of the referred Applicant must occur within 6 months of the referral.
- The first employee to refer an Applicant will be the only Referring Employee eligible
for the incentive award for that particular Applicant. - Only applicants who meet the essential qualifications for the position will be considered.
- All applicants will be evaluated for employment consistent with WPG’s hiring policies and
procedures. Referral does not guarantee the Applicant will be granted an interview and/or
hired. The Applicant will only be selected for the position if those commonly
involved in hiring decisions determine the Applicant is the best fit for the available position.
3. Please be advised that this program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of Executive Management.
The referral process is as follows:
1. WPG will not be responsible for informing an employee if an Applicant has named them as a referral- it is the responsibility of the employee to keep track of Applicants they have referred and the timeline in which they referred them.
2. Referral must be acknowledged by both the Applicant and the Referring Employee
- The Applicant must state Referring Employee’s name on their WPG Job Application
- Referring employee must fill out an applicant referral form and turn it in to the HR department within one week of applicant turning in their application. The Applicant referral form can be turned in prior to the applicant submitting their application, as long as it is within the 3 months prior to the date of the application.
- If an employee is referring more than one applicant, they must complete a separate referral form for each applicant.
3. Selection and hiring process will be conducted as normal-consistent with WPG hiring processes and procedures.
4. If the referred applicant is selected for the position and accepts the job offer, the
incentive of up to $200.00 to the referring employee will be paid out in three
installments and according to meeting three installment dates:
- $50.00 on the first pay period following the applicant’s start date.
- $50.00 on the first pay period following theapplicant passes their probationary period.
- $100.00 on the first pay period following the employee passing their first
anniversary of their hire date.
5. If the applicant fails to reach or is no longer employed by WPG at any of the three installments (i.e. fails to show up to begin employment, employment is terminated or applicant has voluntarily quit prior to passing probationary period and/or first anniversary of hire date) the portion or portions of the incentive that were not reached by the applicant, are not due and will not paid out to the referring employee.
6. The opposite is also true. If the employee who referred the applicant is no longer employed by WPG at the time the applicant reaches a particular installment, the employee who referred will not receive the corresponding installment payment(s).
