The NFTA has increased its employee referral program reward payments.

All employees of the NFTA, whether represented by a bargaining unit or not, will be eligible for an employee referral payment through this program for the successful referral of an individual who becomes a full-time employee of the NFTA in a position covered by the Employee Referral Program.

Details are as follows:

• The total amount of the referral payment is $1,500 for Operators and $2,000 for Mechanics, which is payable in full for each successful referral of an individual to the NFTA for a covered position. 
  
  
• A successful referral means the full-time employment of individuals in a covered position.  The individual who is hired must pass probation and/or training or qualification period and must work for more than one year in a covered position.
  
  
• The referral payments will be paid in two installments.  The first payment shall be issued within 30 days following the latest of the completion of the probationary period (and/or any training or qualification period) of the individual who was referred to the NFTA. The second payment shall be issued within 30 days following when the individual who was referred to the NFTA reaches their 1-year anniversary date of hire.
  
  
• Payments will be issued as a separate payroll check, with any applicable tax deduction.
  
  
• The new rates under this program are for prospective employee referrals only, which are made on or after June 30, 2024.  

Referrals and/or questions should be directed to our Human Resources Dept. at 716-855-6500.
