Under this program, a permanent, classified County employee is eligible to receive a day off with pay if he or she refers a candidate who is hired by the County for a permanent position. The employee is eligible for the day off regardless of where the referred candidate is hired. For example, if a BCC employee refers a candidate who is hired in the Property Appraiser's Office, the BCC employee is eligible for the day off with pay.

This policy covers any candidate who is newly hired and was referred by an existing employee. The candidate must indicate the name of the employee who did the referral. The following rules will apply:

• The one (1) day (representative number of hours) must be taken concurrently - no allowances for partial days
• The one (1) day must be scheduled in advance
• The one (1) day must be taken within six (6) months of being awarded
• Only one (1) employee will be awarded the day off per candidate hired. However, there is no limit to the number of days an employee can qualify for
• Exempt employees and Human Resources Department employees are not eligible. In addition, any supervisor who is responsible for selection shall not be awarded a day off for the referral of an individual who will work under his or her direct supervision
