be transparent and fair for refer-ers and refer-ees alike.
- Fee deduction: For refer-ers, the marketplace fee is deducted from the final payout when the referral is successful, meaning the refer-ee has started the job.
- No upfront costs: Refer-ers receive the agreed-upon amount minus the 6% fee as their earnings.
Example: If the referral incentive is $500, the refer-er earns $470 ($500 - $30).*
Refer-ees
- Upfront fee deduction: The marketplace fee is charged at the time the referral contract is signed, meaning the refer-ee pays this fee upfront.
- Escrow policy: If the refer-ee does not receive an interview or withdraws their application, the fee will be credited back to their ePosting wallet. Until then, the fee is held in escrow.
Example: If the referral incentive is $500, the refer-ee pays $530 ($500 + $30).*
- Refund policy: If the refer-ee does not receive a job offer, 50% of the marketplace fee will be credited back after the minimum fee is applied.
Example: If the marketplace fee paid was $30, the refer-ee will receive $15 back if they were not offered the position.
Minimum marketplace fee
ePosting has a minimum marketplace fee of $15, regardless of the referral incentive. This covers administrative costs.
Even if the referral incentive is less than $250 (which would normally incur a fee of less than $15), both the refer-er and the refer-ee will still be charged the $15 minimum fee.
Summary
This fee structure is designed to ensure transparency and clarity for both refer-ers and refer-ees involved in the referral process on ePosting. The key difference lies in how fees are handled for each party.
