What other legal requirements affect referral bonuses?
The agency is accountable for ensuring that the referral bonus program does not violate the legal requirements for broad public awareness of job openings; recruitment from appropriate sources to seek a work force drawn from all segments of society; and hiring selections based solely on relative ability, knowledge, and skills after a fair and open competition that assures equal opportunity to all candidates. (5 U.S.C. 2301(b)(1)(2); 5 CFR 2.1(a), 4.2; EEOC Compliance Manual, section 15.)
