Employment

All current Kenton County School District employees are eligible to participate in Team Kenton Referral Incentive except hiring managers/administrators for positions in which they are hiring.  However, while hiring mangers cannot refer anyone for a position in which they are directly or indirectly responsible for, they can refer someone for a position that is in a different department (or in a school administrator’s case, a different school location).  District-wide administrators are not eligible.

Positions eligible for referral incentive pay will vary based on the district’s needs and listed on The KCSD Employment website (https://www.kenton.kyschools.us/kcsd-careers).  Eligible referral incentive pay positions will only be for those contracted positions considered full-time (over 4 hours, 180+ contracted days) and are approved positions based on KCSD Cabinet approval of Classified and KDE Certified Critical Shortage Areas for Northern Kentucky.

The full $500 payout will be granted to the referring employee upon completion of the applicant’s hire and one full year’s employment in the same role with no break in service (ie: completion of a full 181-day contract for a bus driver).

1.       The current employee referring the applicant must be included as a referral source on the applicant’s employment application at the time the applicant applies for the position.

2.       The first referral name listed on the application will be the only referring employee name eligible for the referral incentive.

3.       All confidentiality standards will be maintained in hiring applicants, including any names the applicant listed on their application as a referral. Human Resources will not be providing updates to the active employee completing the referral about any applicants they have referred.

4.       At the time the referral bonus is scheduled for payout, both the active employee who made the referral and the hired applicant for the full-time/full year contracted position must be active employees with no breaks in services.

5.       Team Kenton Referral Incentive will be capped annually at $25,000 district-wide.
