Refer a Friend Terms & Conditions
Everything you need to know about our refer a friend scheme.
Terms & Conditions
Protect Line operates two refer a friend schemes:
- One for current Protect Line employees
- One for non‑employees referring someone they know
Please read the general terms (which apply to both schemes) and then the terms that apply specifically to your situation.
1. Terms that apply to both schemes
1.1 Submission process for referrals:
Referrals must be submitted to the Recruitment Team using one of the approved methods below:
- Current employees can submit referrals:
- by emailing [email protected], or
- by using the referral form on the Hub.
- Non‑employees can submit referrals:
- by emailing [email protected], or
- by using the referral form on our website.
Only referrals submitted via these routes will be considered under the refer a friend scheme.
1.2 Discretion on bonus payments
If the above notification process is not followed, then we reserve the right to remove the bonus payment at the discretion of the Head of Recruitment & Onboarding.
1.3 Eligibility criteria for referrals
To qualify for this scheme, the person you are referring must not already be in discussions with the Recruitment Team, e.g. a recent application or if we have received their details through other sources.
1.4 Applicability to permanent roles
This scheme only applies to permanent positions.
1.5 Unlimited referrals allowed
There is no limit on the amount of people you can refer.
1.6 Scheme amendments and withdrawal
Protect Line reserves the right to withdraw or amend the scheme at any time.
1.7 Payment eligibility decisions
Decisions on eligibility of payments are determined by the Head of Recruitment & Onboarding.
2. Additional terms – Current Protect Line employees
These terms apply only if you are currently employed by Protect Line at the time you make the referral.
2.1 Employment requirement for payment
To qualify for the payment, you and the person you have referred must be employed by Protect Line on the date the payment is due.
2.2 Payments
The first payment of £1,000 is processed in the payroll after the employee has been employed for 1 month. If the 1‑month anniversary falls after payroll cut off, it will be processed the following month. The second payment of £500 is processed in the payroll after the employee has reached their 1‑year anniversary. If the 1‑year anniversary falls after payroll cut off, it will be processed the following month.
2.3 Tax implications
The payments will be paid in your salary, and therefore will be subject to tax at your normal rate.
2.4 Abuse and disciplinary consequences
Abuse of the scheme could result in disciplinary action, and loss of the bonus payment.
3. Additional terms – Non‑employees
3.1 Payment
These terms apply only if you are not currently employed by Protect Line at the time you make the referral.
£500 in vouchers will be paid to you after your referral has been employed for 1 month.
(All other general terms in Section 1 also apply.)
