Referral Bonus Eligibility and Payroll Notifications
Set the referral rules once, then use ATS and HRIS data to determine who qualifies and when the bonus is due. ChangeEngine notifies payroll at that point, replacing spreadsheet downloads and manual data checks.
Talent knows talent. When you have open positions, one way to fill them is through referrals.
Who Can Receive a Referral Bonus?
ChangeEngine's referral module lets you set rules for who can receive a referral bonus and who should not. After a referral has been submitted and the candidate has been hired, the team still has to determine how much to pay and whether the referrer qualifies.
The rules can cover eligible roles, which referrers qualify, and how many days after hire the payment becomes due. The on-screen example uses day 90. Once those rules are set, you don't have to work out eligibility by downloading a spreadsheet and reviewing the data by hand.
How Does Payroll Know When a Bonus Is Due?
ChangeEngine connects with your ATS and HRIS, bringing the hire date and status into one place for the bonus decision. The referral module uses that information to determine who is eligible and notify payroll at the right time.
In the day 90 example, payroll receives the message automatically when that day arrives. The team doesn't have to download spreadsheets and cross-check records before telling payroll that a bonus is ready to be paid.
Frequently asked questions
How does ChangeEngine determine who qualifies for a referral bonus?
ChangeEngine uses rules you set for eligible roles, qualifying referrers, and the number of days after hire. It combines those rules with hire date and status data from your ATS and HRIS, keeping the information in one place to determine whether a bonus should be paid.
How does payroll know when to pay a referral bonus?
ChangeEngine notifies payroll when the bonus reaches the payout timing defined in the rules. The on-screen example uses day 90 after hire. Because hire date and status come from the ATS and HRIS, the team doesn't have to download spreadsheets and cross-check those records by hand.
