CITY OF RIVERSIDE RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE AND RETENTION PROGRAM POLICY
Purpose
In an effort to recruit new employees in difficult to fill positions, the City will provide a retention
incentive to new hires. Since current employees are the best recruiters, staff members who
provide referrals will receive a recruitment incentive if their referrals complete a year of
employment.
Eligibility
Applicants who are hired in one of the designated positions at full-time status will be eligible for
the retention incentive if their hire date is after the adoption or revision of this policy. The
designated positions are Public Works Maintenance Workers.
Retention Incentive Amounts & Pavment Schedule
Public Works Maintenance Workers
New hires will receive a retention incentive of $3,000 paid in three (3) equal installments
commencing on:
• 6 month anniversary of employment;
• First year anniversary of employment;
• Second year anniversary of employment.
Referral Incentive
Any eligible staff member who refers a candidate that is hired will receive a referral incentive of
$1,000. The referral incentive will be payable on the first year anniversary of employment for
the candidate they referred. If the new hire leaves employment prior to the completion of a year
of service, no referral incentive will be paid. All city employees are eligible for the referral
incentive except for Department Directors, the Human Resources Manager, and the City
Administrator.
