• Referrals are valid for one year. The referred individual must start working for Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems or Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding in a full-time position within one year from the date the referral was submitted.

Award Eligibility

• The Employee Referral Award Program Offices will determine whether or not all conditions for award eligibility have been met after the referral's start date. In the event the same candidate is referred by more than one employee or by more than one source, created with multiple names and/or email addresses the award determination will be paid based on the earliest recorded referral date or the receipt date of referrals from other sources. Once your candidate has acknowledged your referral and completed his/her profile, you will be able to view the status of your referral on your Employee Profile in Careers/OneISP. This will serve as confirmation of your referral submission.
• The company reserves the right to determine which positions will qualify for an award, and may change the amount of the award. Updates will be posted as changes occur. Referral Awards will be based on the ERAP Award values at the time of the referral’s start date.
• All Referral Award incentives are subject to tax withholding.
