III. Payment Terms
If you are eligible to participate in the program, Preting shall pay you a one-time external

This form will be supplied to the referrer by Preting once the referred candidate has started employment with Preting. Preting will process the external referral bonus within 30 days after the referred employee completes the 90 days of employment mentioned above and when the required paperwork has been submitted. Payments will be made on a 1099 basis and paid by company check from Preting.
