Employee Referral Award Bonus Program

Philosophy and Purpose:

The purpose of Calix Employee Referral Program (ERP) is to encourage Calix employees to refer qualified candidates to regular, posted positions and reward them when their referred candidate(s) join Calix.

Research has shown that new hires through employee referrals are excellent contributors, stay with the company longer, and are more cost effective to recruit.

Each time Calix hires a referred candidate and they’re employed for at least 90-days, the referring employee will receive a referral bonus.

Program Rules:

1. Direct-line Hiring Leaders, members of the Talent & Culture team, and Vice Presidents and above are NOT eligible for the employee referral program (ERP) bonus. Only regular, full-time employees are eligible. Contingent Workers (Interns and Contractors) are NOT eligible for the ERP bonus.
2. Employees must comply with any ‘Non-Recruit’ and/or ‘Non-Solicit’ agreements with their former employers and may NOT refer candidates from previous employers where such an obligation is in effect. If a candidate is referred, that will trigger a violation of a ‘Non-Recruit’ and/or ‘Non-Solicit’ agreement and the referring employee will be deemed ineligible to receive an ERP bonus and may be subject to disciplinary- and legal action.
3. To be eligible for a bonus, the referrals must be documented by a member of the Talent & Culture team (via calix.employeereferrals.com) and hired into a regular, full-time position. Intern and Contract positions are NOT eligible for ERP bonuses. Candidates who are re-hired by Calix within 1-year of departure are NOT eligible as referrals under this program.
4. The first employee to refer a candidate for the opening to which the candidate is hired is entitled to receive the referral bonus.
   1. If multiple employees come forward with the same candidate for the same position collaboratively, Calix may split the referral bonus.
   2. If a candidate previously referred by one employee is then referred to a different position by another employee, then the employee who referred the candidate for the position the candidate is hired to will be eligible to receive the referral bonus.
   3. In NO situation will Calix pay more than one referral bonus for a candidate.
5. Referrals must be known personally by the employee or someone close to the employee.
6. Any candidate who is already in Calix’s recruiting database for less than one year (due to another employee referral, direct sourcing, an agency submittal, or is currently working for Calix through an employment agency or on a contract) is NOT eligible for a referral.
7. Employees can track the status of their referred candidate by logging in to calix.employeereferrals.com
8. Any disputes or interpretations of the program will be handled through Talent & Culture and/or Senior Leadership.
9. The Employee Referral Program rules are subject to change without notice.
