THE SNYDER SCENE ISSUE 11 VOLUME 4 G R O W YO U R G R E E N ( G YG ) 3 N E W G R O W YO U R G R E E N RULES: All submitted referrals & subsequent bonus are subject to the approval of the Grow Your Green Committee. GYG Forms MUST be filled out for each referral. For example, if you’re referring to all apartments, each apartment complex must get their own form. Employees will now submit their GYG forms to the GYG Contact Person from each entity instead of submitting their forms to gyg@thesnydercompanies.com or HR. The GYG Contact person can be found on the New GYG Form (pictured below). Please send your forms to the appropriate e-mail address provided next to the contact person’s name. If you have any questions for the entity, their contact number is on the form as well. You can only refer someone once for the same product. For example, if you refer a group of people to the DoubleTree for use of a banquet room and they continue to book for 2 more years after that, you only get credit for the GYG once. If you receive any kind of employee discount, the referral bonus if void. Managers are expected to provide GYG information to all employee and attend all GYG Gatherings. Due to RESPA rules, REALTORS cannot receive compensation on home owner insurance referrals. Due to RESPA rules, referrals to REALTORS will not receive a referral bonus through this program. Bonuses are awarded by check in November and/or December. You must be a current employee to receive your accumulated bonus. Bonuses are taxable. Taxes will be deducted from your bonus just like your regular paycheck. The NEW GYG Form can still be found on at www.thesnydercompanies.com under the “Contact Us” tab.
