A successful referral must meet all Qualified Referral criteria in the Terms & Conditions below, sign a Client Service Agreement, and remain with PrestigePEO for a minimum of 90 days from the Client’s first payroll date.

We’ll be sure to stay connected regarding your referral, but if you have any questions, you can contact us directly at [email protected]. We will confirm receipt of your referral and keep you updated on its status.

A Reward will be issued to you after your referral signs a Client Service Agreement and has remained a PrestigePEO client for 90 days from the date of their first payroll. Rewards can be paid as either a payroll credit (available to current PrestigePEO client owners only) or as a check, depending on preference. Rewards are issued within a reasonable time after the 90-day period ends. Rewards for PrestigePEO employees are paid through payroll.

Your referral can be denied if it doesn’t meet the Qualified Referral criteria in the Terms & Conditions below, including the minimum WSE count. In addition, the referral can be denied if your referral doesn’t remain a client of PrestigePEO for at least 90 days from the date of their first payroll.

There is no limit to the number of referrals you can provide! The more referrals you provide, the more rewards you’ll be eligible to earn.

Yes! We encourage all eligible individuals to provide referrals that meet our criteria and help spread the word about PrestigePEO’s value to companies nationwide.

REWARD TIERS

Reward tier is based on the number of Work Site Employees (WSEs) on the client’s first payroll. Referrals with fewer than 6 WSEs are not eligible for a Reward.

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for the Program, a Participant must:

• Be an individual 18 years of age or older and a resident of the United States
• Provide all details for a Qualified Referral on the Referral Form
• Not be a member of the PrestigePEO sales team, including any Immediate Family Members, as they are ineligible to participate. (“Immediate Family Member” means a spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, in-law, or any member of the same household.)
• Not be a broker, general agent, or similar representative of PrestigePEO already in a business relationship with PrestigePEO that provides a similar referral service. Broker referral bonuses are addressed in the Special Broker Referral Bonus section below.
• Not be an individual prohibited by applicable law or regulation from participating in the Program. PrestigePEO reserves the right to disqualify Participants for fraud, misrepresentation, violations of these Terms or the law, conflict-of-interest concerns, or other legitimate business reasons.

DEFINITION OF A QUALIFIED REFERRAL

• A “Qualified Referral” is defined as a referral whose information on the Referral Form is accurate and is not already an Active Lead, an Existing PrestigePEO Client, a Spin-off Client, or a Former Client whose contractual relationship with PrestigePEO ended less than one year before the referral.
• An “Active Lead” is defined as either a company or individual contacted by PrestigePEO within the preceding 90 calendar days.
• An “Existing PrestigePEO Client” is defined as any company or organization that currently receives services from PrestigePEO.
• A “Spin-off Client” is defined as an entity that has a legal or financial connection (i.e., common ownership, subsidiary, etc.) with an Existing PrestigePEO Client.
• A “Former Client” is any company or organization that previously received services from PrestigePEO.

Participants must have a personal relationship with the referral. Participants may not acquire referrals through unsolicited email to persons unknown to them. They may not submit referrals based on email lists or other similar consumer lists.

The referral must be located within the United States, and only Work Site Employees (WSEs) located within the United States will be eligible for the reward.

The referral cannot be working with a broker, general agent, or similar type of representative.

The referral must have given the Participant express written consent to provide their details to PrestigePEO and allow for PrestigePEO to contact them. Participant represents and warrants that they have obtained all necessary consents from the referral to share the referral’s personal and business information with PrestigePEO and for PrestigePEO to contact the referral regarding its services.

PrestigePEO employees are not eligible for a Reward for referring a Former Client that returns under a new company or entity and may not specify a preferred sales team member for their referrals.

REWARDS FOR QUALIFIED REFERRALS

If a Qualified Referral signs a Client Service Agreement for professional employer services with PrestigePEO within 90 days of the referral and within 60 days of PrestigePEO issuing an approved quote or proposal, and remains a PrestigePEO Client for 90 days after the date of their first payroll (the “Retention Period”), the Participant will receive a Reward.

A Reward will be paid to the Participant based upon a corresponding sliding scale, as outlined in the Reward Tiers table above. The Reward Tier is determined by the Client’s number of Work Site Employees (“WSEs”) paid on the first payroll with PrestigePEO, provided all other eligibility requirements are satisfied.

Only one Participant may receive a Reward for a Qualified Referral. If multiple Participants submit the same referral, the first submission received by PrestigePEO will control. PrestigePEO’s records regarding the timing and receipt of referrals are final and controlling.

The Reward will be issued in the form of a check made out in the name of the Participant, as provided on the Referral Form. Participants who are current PrestigePEO client owners can opt to receive a payroll credit instead. Rewards will be issued within a reasonable time after the Retention Period ends.

EMPLOYEE BROKER REFERRAL BONUS

The Employee Broker Referral Bonus is separate from the standard client Referral Rewards described above. A PrestigePEO employee who refers a broker to PrestigePEO is eligible for a one-time (1x) bonus of $500 when the referred broker closes their first case with PrestigePEO. That client must remain an active PrestigePEO client for at least 90 days following the client’s first payroll date before the bonus is paid. The bonus will be paid within a reasonable time after that period ends. PrestigePEO will process the $500 bonus through payroll after the referred broker closes their first case with PrestigePEO.

EXCLUSIONS

PrestigePEO reserves the right to independently determine the criteria and other factors around any client engagement, including and not limited to whether or not it will accept a referral as a client. HRBP, Benefits, or Payroll Specialists who receive and/or input a referral on behalf of any current PrestigePEO clients are not eligible to receive a Reward. PrestigePEO is not responsible for lost, misdirected, or delayed referrals.

PROGRAM CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

This Program will continue on an ongoing basis until terminated by PrestigePEO. To the extent permitted by applicable law, PrestigePEO may at any time, without prior notice, terminate or modify the Program or Terms, or both. Interpretation of these Terms is at PrestigePEO’s sole discretion. PrestigePEO reserves the right to void Rewards earned if it suspects that such Rewards were earned fraudulently, in a manner that violates applicable law or these Terms, or in a way otherwise not intended by PrestigePEO.

TAXES

PrestigePEO will report earnings under this Program to the extent required by applicable law. Rewards earned through this Program may be subject to taxation and reported on Form W-2 for PrestigePEO employees and, where required by applicable law, on the applicable IRS Form 1099 for all other Participants.

Rewards under the Program are subject to applicable federal, state, and local taxes. Upon PrestigePEO’s determination that a non-employee Participant will receive Rewards, PrestigePEO may contact the Participant to request a completed IRS Form W-9. If the Participant does not respond to a request from PrestigePEO to complete a Form W-9 within 30 days of such request, PrestigePEO reserves the right to rescind the Participant’s Reward.

Rewards and bonuses paid to PrestigePEO employees under the Program, including the Employee Broker Referral Bonus, will be processed through payroll and are subject to all required tax withholding and deductions.

COMMUNICATIONS

By submitting the Referral Form, Participant consents to receive electronic communications from PrestigePEO, including advertising and marketing materials. Participants may opt out of marketing communications at any time, except for communications required to administer the Program.

GOVERNING LAW

Without regard to its conflict of law provisions, the laws of the Court of Law in Suffolk County, New York, will govern the Program and its Terms. Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Program or these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, New York, and each Participant consents to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

LIABILITY LIMITATIONS

In no event shall PrestigePEO be liable for any direct, special, indirect, or consequential damages, or any other damages of any kind, regardless of the type of claim or legal theory asserted, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) the Program; (ii) the use of or inability to use the site or any materials; or (iii) any claim attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in the site or any materials.
