Referral Programme
Refer and Earn
Introduce a business. Earn a full month’s fee on every employee they start with, then 15% of our fee every month for a year.
Refer a company to Veridian Global. When they sign and employ their first team through our EOR service, we pay you 100% of the first monthly EOR fee for each of those employees. After that, you earn 15% of the monthly EOR fee on every employee they have with us, every month for 12 months.
Overview
- A once-off payment of 100% of the first monthly EOR management fee for every employee the referred company starts with
- 15% of the monthly EOR fee on each employee, paid every month for the next 12 months
- New hires the company makes during those 12 months earn you 15% too, until the period ends
- No cap on the number of companies you refer
- Open to anyone with a real introduction to make
- The referred company pays standard pricing. Your share comes out of our fee, not on top of it.
The reward in one line
Your reward = 100% of the first monthly EOR management fee on every starting employee, then 15% of the monthly EOR fee for 12 months..
The monthly EOR fee is what we charge a client for employing someone through us. It is a percentage of that employee's salary, set out on our pricing page. Your reward is a share of that fee. It is not a percentage of the salary, and it is not a percentage of the full invoice.
What that looks like in practice
Take an employee on £2,000 a month. At our entry rate of 10%, the monthly EOR fee is £200. You receive the full £200 once-off, then £30 a month for the next 12 months.
| Each month | 12 months | |
|---|---|---|
| One employee on £2,000 a month | £30 | £560 |
| Four employees at the same level | £120 | £2,800 |
If the company hires more people during the 12 months, you earn 15% on each new hire until the period ends. New hires do not attract the once-off payment.
If the company's fee rate changes, for instance because they grow past the threshold for a lower rate, your share stays at 15% of whatever fee we actually invoice.
Please note that whenever an employee receives a salary increase, your commission stays the same as it was initially. Any subsequent salary increases are not considered when calculating and paying out your commission.
How it works
1. Register the referral. Use the form on this page, or email us the contact's name, company and email address with a line on what they are looking to hire. If it is easier, ask them to mention your name when they contact us.
2. We take it from there. Nothing to sell. We speak to them, explain how the EOR model works, give them a cost estimate and keep you posted.
3. They hire. The company signs with Veridian Global and employs its first team through our EOR in South Africa. Your once-off payment is based on their first monthly invoice.
4. You are paid every month. Once the client has paid each monthly invoice, we pay you 15% of the EOR fee on it for the next 12 months. Anyone they hire through us during that period is added automatically.
When and how you are paid
- First payment: your once-off payment, after the client pays their first monthly invoice, usually within six weeks of the start date
- After that: 15% every month for 12 months, once each month’s invoice is paid
- It stops: at the end of the 12-month period. If an employee leaves sooner, payments for that employee stop from their last paid invoice.
- By bank transfer, in pounds sterling or the Rand equivalent if you are based in South Africa. Existing clients can take it as a credit on their own invoice instead.
- With a statement each month showing the employees, the fee and your share
Who can refer
Anyone with a real introduction to make:
- Existing clients who have been through the process and know what to expect
- Employees on our books who know a UK company looking for people like them
- Accountants, bookkeepers, fractional finance and HR leads whose clients are weighing up their next hire
- Recruiters and consultants who get asked about offshore hiring and would rather hand it to a specialist
- Founders and business owners in peer groups and networks
Employees and directors of Veridian Global, and their immediate family, are not eligible.
Who makes a good referral
UK companies that:
- Are hiring for roles that work well remotely: sales, marketing, customer support, finance, software, admin
- Already use South African contractors and are uneasy about misclassification
- Have priced up a global platform like Deel or Remote.com and found it heavy for South Africa alone
- Are feeling rising UK employer costs on every new hire
If a business you know fits two or more of these, it is worth an introduction.
The small print, kept short
- Register the referral before the company first contacts us, or make sure they name you when they do. Referrals registered after first contact are not eligible.
- The company must be new to Veridian Global: no existing agreement, and no active conversation with us in the six months before you registered the referral.
- One referrer per company. If more than one person refers the same business, we pay the first valid registration.
- Your share is calculated on fees we have actually collected. If a client pays late, your payment moves with it. If a client does not pay an invoice, there is no share on that invoice.
- By registering a referral you confirm the contact knows you are passing on their details and is happy to hear from us. We use their details only to follow up on the referral, in line with our Privacy Policy.
- If you work for, or advise, the business you are referring, tell them about the reward before you register it. We will not pay a reward that has not been disclosed to the referred company. This follows our Code of Ethics.
- Rewards are paid gross. Any tax due on them is your responsibility. If you are VAT registered, use the monthly statement to invoice us and we will pay against your invoice.
- We may change or close the programme for new referrals at any time. Referrals already registered continue on the terms they were registered under, continue on the terms they were registered under.
Not sure how to introduce us?
Something like this works well in an email or a LinkedIn message:
"I know a company called Veridian Global that helps UK businesses employ people in South Africa without setting up an entity there. They handle contracts, payroll and compliance, and you get one monthly invoice. Happy to introduce you if that would be useful?"
If they say yes, register the referral and we will pick it up from there.

FAQs
100% of the first monthly EOR fee for every employee the referred company starts with, paid once. After that, 15% of the monthly EOR fee on every employee they have with us, every month for 12 months. There is no cap on the number of companies you refer.
Your reward is a share of that fee. It is not a share of the salary, or of the total invoice, which also includes the salary and statutory costs.
An employee on £2,000 a month at our 10% rate carries a monthly EOR fee of £200. You receive £200 once-off, then £30 a month for 12 months, so £560 in total. Five employees at that level would be £1,000 once-off, then £150 a month. You can estimate fees for other salaries with our EOR Cost Calculator.
For 12 months after the once-off payment. Payments for an employee stop earlier if they leave.
Every employee the company starts with earns the once-off payment and 15% for 12 months. Anyone they hire through us during those 12 months earns you 15% until the period ends. Hires after that do not qualify.
After the client pays their first monthly invoice. Allowing for our invoice cycle and payment terms, that is usually within six weeks of the employee's start date.
By bank transfer each month, in pounds sterling or the Rand equivalent if you are in South Africa, with a short statement showing how it was calculated. It is paid gross, so any tax due is your responsibility. Existing clients can take it as a credit against their own invoice instead.
No. They pay our standard pricing. Your share comes out of our fee, not on top of it.
Your share follows the fee. If a client moves onto a lower rate because they have grown, you receive 15% of the new fee. It is always 15% of what we actually invoice and collect.
Payments for that employee stop from their last paid invoice. If the company replaces them through us during the 12-month period, you earn 15% on the replacement until the period ends.
Use the form on this page, or email the contact's name, company and email address to refer@veridianglobal.co.uk with a line on what they are looking to hire. If you would rather not share their details up front, ask them to mention your name when they first contact us.
Yes. Only pass on details of someone who knows you are doing so and is happy to hear from us. It keeps the introduction warm, and it keeps everyone on the right side of UK GDPR and POPIA.
If we have been in active conversation with the company in the six months before you register the referral, or they are already a client, the referral will not qualify. We will tell you if that is the case so there are no surprises later.
We pay the first valid registration. Registering early is the best way to make sure it is you.
You can, provided you tell them about the reward before you register the referral. Many organisations have rules about employees and advisers accepting payments from suppliers, and we will not pay a reward that has been kept from the referred company. If a payment to you would not be appropriate, we can apply your share as a credit on the referred company's account instead.
Our focus is UK companies hiring in South Africa, but if you know a business elsewhere that wants to employ people in South Africa, register them anyway. We will let you know quickly whether we can help.
Your commission stays exactly the same as it was initially, based on the employee's starting salary. Any subsequent salary increases are not considered when paying out your monthly commission.
