Referral Bonus Program

The referral bonus program ends October 15, 2025.

We all know that Henrico County Public Schools is a great place to work, so why not tell a friend? When you refer someone to work in HCPS, you could earn a $1,000 bonus.  To qualify for the bonus, fill out a form referring someone for one of the full-time positions listed below. If the person is hired, you will be paid $1,000. Any active HCPS employee can refer new, full-time candidates. The referral bonus program ends October 15, 2025.

Remember:

  • The referral must be received before an offer of employment is extended to the candidate. 

  • The one-time bonus will be included in your Dec.31 paycheck.

  • The referring and new employees must remain employed with HCPS through November 28, 2025.

  • You cannot be the hiring manager for the incoming employee. For example, principals will not receive a bonus for referring a new teacher to their own school, but they can refer someone to another HCPS school.

  • Staff members involved in the hiring decision or participate on the hiring panel for a referring position are not eligible for the referral bonus for that position.

  • You cannot refer an existing permanent part-time or full-time internal candidate. You can refer a temporary or substitute HCPS employee for one of the eligible full-time jobs.

  • Referring employees must use their Henrico County email for entries. A referred candidate may only have one referring employee. In the event of multiple entries for the same referred candidate, the first person who referred the new employee will be eligible to receive the bonus based upon the timestamp in the referral employee portal.

HCPS School Nutrition Services has a separate referral program. Contact School Nutrition Services at 804-226-5555 for more information.
