Employee Referral Incentive Lump Sum

This document contains guidelines on how to route the employee referral incentive lump sum.
  • In HRFE, use the personnel date as the first day in the following pay period in which you want the lump sum to be paid out in.
  • Under Transactions, select Add a Job.
  • Input your pooled Lump Sum Position number and the begin date should be the same as your personnel date/begin date of the pay period you are using, and the end date should be the last day in the pay period you are using. Select Continue.
  • Continue through the next screen titled Position Data.
  • In the Job Data Screen, change the job title to “EMPLOYEE REFERRAL INCENTIVE” and change the Hourly rate to $600.00 and select no remote under the Remote Working Location.
  • You will also add a Job Comment on the bottom of the page stating "IHR, please correct the earn code to ERP for $600 to pay the lump sum for an Employee Referral Incentive payment."
  • Then select continue.
  • You will need to attach the email from Cornerstone with the employee acknowledgment to the HRFE transaction with a document type of “Employment Docs” with a description of “incentive acceptance”.

Once all the above is completed, you may route.

*Please note if this is done late, you must process an adjustment to pay out the lump sum. If it is processed and applied ON TIME the lump sum will pay out automatically*
