Program Overview
ShiftMed desires to establish a referral program for active ShiftMed Clinicians (“Referrers”) to bring other certified or licensed Clinicians (“Referees”) onto the ShiftMed Platform.
The referral program will commence on or about April 1, 2026 and end on December 31, 2026. Any referrals not made within this timeframe will not be considered or eligible for payment.

Program Referral Bonus Offer

Both the Referrer and the Referee will each receive a bonus of $250, less any applicable taxes.

Program Procedures
An eligible Referrer must be the first person to refer a new Clinician via the ShiftMed application (“app”). There will be an in-app prompt in the menu of the app to invite qualified Clinicians. The Referrer must provide all required information, including the Referee’s phone number to be invited to the app.
The Referee must opt-in to the ShiftMed messaging via the initial text message to receive the invitation link.
The form information of the Referee will be securely stored on ShiftMed servers. The Referee may receive communications from ShiftMed’s marketing team, notifying the candidate of the referral.
The Referee will be prompted to download the ShiftMed app, create an account, and begin the onboarding process. The Referee must complete all the requirements to receive the orientation credential (which vary by facility) but generally are to successfully work all orientation shift(s) and upload all orientation documentation and related credentials to be cleared by the facility to claim non-orientation shifts.
The Referee must be cleared by the facility to claim non-orientation shifts no later than February 15, 2027 to be eligible for the bonus.
As long as the Referrer remains in active status, the Referrer will receive a one-time payment via direct deposit (if set up) or by check on the payroll period following the Referee’s completion of the referral program requirements as outlined above. If the Referrer is in onboarding status, the Referrer will only be paid upon completion of receiving the orientation credential requirements.
As long as the Referee is in active status, the Referee will receive a one-time payment via direct deposit (if set up) or by check on the payroll period following their completion of the referral program requirement (Once the Orientation requirements are met and the Orientation Credential is added to their profile).
Termination of the Referral Program
ShiftMed reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Referral Program, or to withhold payment of the referral bonus for any reason. ShiftMed also has the right, in its sole discretion, to maintain the integrity of the Referral Program, to void or cancel a Referring HCP employee’s participation in the program and eligibility for a Bonus for any reason, including, but not limited to: fraud, violation of these Terms, or the use of bots, macros, scripts, or other technical means to conduct Referral Activities.
ShiftMed may terminate the program at any time, effective immediately, in the event of an actual or proposed change in any applicable law would render this program commercially unreasonable in ShiftMed’s judgment.
