Referral Rewards
Add Paragraph
Rich Text
Did you know that the second largest group of employees hired were referred by you, our own employees? Considering our need for talented and dedicated employees, these referrals are even more important to our mission of caring for the community. Our Referral Rewards program is your chance to receive a cash reward for referring applicants for eligible positions.
Changes to the program and reward amounts are made at the beginning of each fiscal year but may be modified based on recruiting needs.
There are two ways to make an employee referral. The applicant/referral lists your name on their application as an Employee Referral or you use Workday to send the applicant/referral a direct job link from our Jobs Hub. Employees cannot refer current employees to other positions within the organization. See the "Frequently Asked Questions" section for more information.
Workday makes it easy and convenient to refer friends to jobs and it also allows you to track the progress of the referral.
Effective 9/14/25, we will only accept one referral source per new hire. We can no longer split referral bonuses between 2 referral sources.

How to refer a friend to a specific job
Accordion Body
- Log in to Workday and go to the Jobs Hub.
- Search for current openings on the Internal Career Site.
- From the Job Posting Details page, click “Refer” and provide the information required.
- This will send an email to your friend with a link to the Job Posting where they can complete an application and apply for the job.
- The referral will automatically be tracked and updated in your “My Referrals” tab.
- If the friend is hired to an eligible Referral Reward position, you will receive the respective bonus payment after 90 days of successful employment (unless otherwise noted below).
- Contact the HR Service Center with any questions.
- Referral bonuses are taxable income and subject to all applicable federal and state deductions.
- Referral Rewards are paid out to referring employees following the new hire’s 90 days (unless otherwise noted below) of successful employment. Both referring employee and referred employee must be employed with Carilion at time of payout.
The referral must be received by HR before the candidate is hired into the system for payment to be processed. Candidates must successfully complete all steps of the selection and employment process.

Referral Rewards for Physicians
Accordion Body
Our organization has established a new Referral Rewards Program for approved open physician vacancies we are recruiting.
The program provides a $20,000 referral bonus to Carilion Clinic employees, including physicians, for referring a physician who is hired for these open positions. This payment is subject to taxes and withholdings and is paid in two installments.
The first payment of $5,000 is paid during a regular payroll cycle following the new hire’s start date. The second and final payment of $15,000 is paid during the next regular payroll cycle following the new hire’s first year anniversary with us.
Family members, former Carilion Clinic employees, residents/fellows and locums (former or current) are not eligible for this program.
Referrals from Chairs and Recruitment for any position and from leaders referring candidates for positions in their department are not eligible for this program. This easy online form can be used to make a referral, too.
Please note: This online form is only used for physician referrals. Non-physician referrals must be submitted through Workday to be eligible for processing.

* Leaders are eligible for the referral payout for Outpatient LPNs and Certified Medical Assistants when candidates are hired in other practices/clinics. It's part of the leader's responsibility to encourage candidates to apply within their own responsibility area (so no referral payouts to their own practices/clinics).
