- Candidates must be referred through AbleVets career website using the “Refer a friend” link. The system will record the date of referral and other pertinent data.
- In the event several referrals naming the same candidate are received, the first referral received by AbleVets will be the only one considered for award.
- Candidate will be reviewed against requirements and dispositioned accordingly.
- The AbleVets recruiting team will send eligible referrals to Human Resources after the candidate has been hired.
- Human Resources will maintain the list of eligible participants and collect any required documentation.
- External individuals eligible for payment will have to complete a W-9 within the first 60 days of the hire so the appropriate IRS tax form can be sent at the end of the tax year. Forms will be submitted to the Human Resources Department for processing.
