NorCo to Consider Referral Incentives For Gracedale Hires

Exec Lamont McClure
Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure advised County Council at last night's Finance Committee meeting that he would like to offer an employee referral incentive under which county workers will be paid for referring people who are hired at Gracedale. According to Governing, these bonuses exist in 61% of the private sector, but only in 13% of the government workforce.

McClure told Council his administration is already "working mightily" to staff Gracedale. "We're standing on our heads," he remarked.

Under this program, employees who refer someone who is hired at Gracedale and who completes probation will get a bonus - $250 for an RN and $100 for all others.

Human Resources will keep track of when referral fees are due.

Northampton County already offers professional development for employees who wish to be CNAs, LPNs or RNs.

    If you need to add referral payments that tells you how horrible it is to work there.

    "If you need to add referral payments that tells you how horrible it is to work there."
    Wrong. The company I work for has done this for years. The top incentive is $5000 for engineers and progresses down. Over 26 years I could count the turnover in my department on one hand.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
