When an eligible candidate referred by an employee is hired, the referring employee receives from $500 to $5,000, depending upon the position filled by the new employee. Payment is made 90 days after the new employee starts with Aerojet. And, for each referral hired, the referring employee’s name is entered into an annual drawing for a trip for two to a destination of the winning employee’s choice! Specific rules of eligibility and payment apply, so please refer to the detailed guidelines below.

Eligible Employees

All regular (full-time and part-time) employees are eligible to participate in the employee referral program, except for employees who are:

• Members of the Human Resources department
• Director level or above
• Managers and Supervisors for referrals being hired into their own area of responsibility

Eligible Openings

Aerojet leadership, in conjunction with Human Resources/Staffing, will identify requisitions as eligible for an employee award. Any positions that are ineligible will be marked as such on Aerojet’s Intranet. Summer, internship, trainee, and casual positions are always excluded from the employee referral program.

Eligible Candidates

Referral forms must be completed for each referral, and all referral forms and resumes must be submitted directly to Human Resources to be eligible for referral program awards. Forms may be obtained at theAerojetSet.com.

Any candidate is eligible if the individual was not previously known to or identified by Aerojet within the 12 months prior to receiving an employee referral form and attached resume. In addition, no referral bonus will be paid if, within the last 12 months, the candidate has already been referred to Aerojet by another employee; the candidate has previously submitted a resume to Aerojet on their own; the candidate previously worked for GenCorp or Aerojet; or if the resume has been submitted by an employment agency.  If more than 12 months have elapsed since the candidate’s resume was received in any of these ways, the candidate will be eligible.

Upon receipt of a referral, Human Resources will confirm whether or not the referral is eligible for an award and will notify you if the referral is not eligible.   In the event a candidate is referred by two or more employees, the referral will be credited to the employee who first provided Human Resources with a properly completed form and resume.

In addition, besides personally referring someone that you know, you may simply provide a name and contact information or company information for an individual you think would be a fit for Aerojet and you can remain anonymous in the recruiting process.  Human Resources will not use your name in contacting a referral candidate if you check the appropriate box on the referral form, but you will still receive the appropriate award should we hire your referral.  Please use the referral form to indicate the candidate’s contact information, your information, and whether you would like to remain anonymous.  Candidate eligibility will be determined by Human Resources according to the information provided in the above paragraphs.

Amount of Award and Payment Guidelines

Referral payments (less standard deductions) will be made 90 days after the new employee’s start date, in conjunction with payroll cutoff dates and paydays. The new employee must still be employed by Aerojet at the time the payment is made. Employees who referred candidates must also be employed at the time payment is made. 

Summer, internship, trainee, and casual positions are excluded from the employee referral program. 

The level of the position filled by a referral determines the award amount:

Job Level

1 & 2
3 & Above
Non-Exempt, Hourly & Bargaining Unit

Amount

$2,000
$4,000
$500

From time-to-time, Aerojet may offer a “special skills” bonus for positions that are of particularly high priority and/or that are difficult to fill. The amount of the additional award will be $1,000, and positions eligible for the increased amount will be listed in the Employee Referral section of the Intranet. (From the Aerojet Online homepage, click on Human Resources under the Employee Resources menu, then Staffing).

Annual Award – 1st and 2nd Prize

Prizes will be awarded annually in February.

First prize is a Dream Vacation (a trip, up to a maximum value of $4,000.00, booked through the Aerojet Travel Desk) to the destination of the employee's choice.

Second prize is a $1,000.00 American Express Gift Card.

All employees who have at least one referral hired are eligible to win the trip or the gift card; each hired referral results in one entry into the drawing for the referring employee. Employees must still be employed to be eligible. Aerojet will pay tax gross-up on these awards for the winning employees. Time off for the trip may be taken from the employee's vacation account or as unpaid time off. Cash will not be substituted for the value of the trip.

Implementation and Changes to the Employee Referral Program

This Program will go into effect when published and remain in effect until terminated by the Director, Human Resources – Staffing, or his/her designee. Aerojet reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate this program at its discretion.
