Is there a limit to how many healthcare professionals I can refer?
No, there is no limit! You can refer as many healthcare professionals as you'd like, which means you're eligible for unlimited payouts for each healthcare professional you refer who is hired and meets the payout criteria.
When will I receive my referral payout?
You will receive your referral payout once the healthcare professional you referred works and is paid for working the hours required under the Referral Program criteria. Your payout will be deposited within 10 days after they receive their paycheck for completing the hours worked criteria.
How can I check the status of my referral payout?
To check on the status of a per diem referral bonus, please give our 24-hour Staffing Department a call at (712) 336-0800 ext. 2704 and one of our Specialists will be able to provide an update on how many hours the healthcare professional you referred still needs to work in order to receive the referral bonus.
To check on the status of your contract referral payout, please reach out to your Nurse Recruiter via call, email, or text. Alternatively, you can email us at travel.inquiry@grapetree.com.
How will I receive my referral payout?
Your payout will be directly deposited into your bank account via our payroll system, Paylocity. Please note that the bonus will be paid out on a normal pay day, and is not included in priority pay requests.
Are referral payouts taxed?
Yes, referral payouts are taxed as a bonus.
What if my referral ends up working different types of jobs than I originally referred them for?
If the person you referred ends up working a different type of job than you originally referred them for (per diem vs. contract), their referral will be shifted to the correct bonus program once they meet the required hours for that job type. You are only eligible for one bonus – per diem or contract – per referral, and your payout will be based on whichever criteria the referred person meets first.
-
If they work per diem shifts: the referral will move to the per diem bonus criteria (eligible after 80 per diem hours worked).
-
If they work contracts: the referral will move to the contract bonus criteria (eligible after they complete 320 required contract hours).
If you are a GrapeTree employee, you’ll still receive the bonus that matches the referee’s job type whether they fall under per diem or contract criteria. If you are not a GrapeTree employee and your referral moves to the per diem bonus criteria, you will no longer be eligible for a payout.
Can I receive a referral payout by referring someone who previously worked for GrapeTree?
No, our referral program only applies to individuals who have never been employed by GrapeTree. If the person you refer has worked for GrapeTree in the past, you will not be eligible to receive a bonus for referring them.
Can I claim a referral payout if I refer someone after they've already been hired by GrapeTree?
No, referrals must be claimed before the referred individual is officially hired by GrapeTree. All referrals need to be properly submitted and documented before the candidate completes the hiring process to qualify for a bonus.
How do I find my Employee ID Number?
If you are a GrapeTree employee, you will need to tell us your Employee ID Number (also known as HCP ID or Temp ID) in order for us to tie your referral back to you and ensure proper payout. Your GrapeTree name badge displays your Employee ID Number under your first name.
Do I have to work for GrapeTree to refer a healthcare professional?
You do not have to work for GrapeTree to refer a contract healthcare professional and receive a referral payout. However, you do have to work for GrapeTree to be eligible to receive a bonus for a per-diem referral.
How will I be paid for my referral(s) if I am not a GrapeTree Employee?
If you are not GrapeTree employee, you will be sent a W-9 form and a direct deposit form by a Nurse Recruiter so that we can deposit your referral payment. You will also be provided with information on creating an account in our payroll system, Paylocity, to view your payout information and important tax documents for reporting referral payouts on your taxes each year.
