Referral Incentive Guidelines

We are pleased to share we will increase bonuses for team members who refer family and friends for open positions from $750 to $1,500. As we embark on the next steps of our journey as an organization, we are investing in building an even stronger team. Identifying candidates who will be a great fit for our team and who are committed to growing with us will be extremely important during this period of rapid expansion and help provide the support our existing team members deserve. Because of this, we are also updating the way referral bonuses are paid. Going forward, team members who refer a successfully hired candidate will receive an initial payment of $750 when the new hire has been on the job for six months. They will then receive a second $750 payment when their referral reaches their one-year anniversary. Our Team Member Referral Program has always been one of our best recruitment tools, helping us to hire more talented, hardworking individuals like all of you. In fact, last year, team members made more than 630 referrals to collectively earn $345,000 in referral bonuses. As we prepare for the first stages of our evolution and the expansion of offerings at our existing venues, we are doubling down on this investment to ensure our team is prepared for the growth ahead. We know that our best team members come from all of you and are grateful for all of your referrals that have helped make the Turning Stone Enterprises team so successful.
