Rewards and Recognition
Substitute employees are working under many of the same pressures as your full-time staff.
Recognizing and rewarding their hard work and dedication is imperative in creating a functioning, positive environment across your district.
Our rewards program is focused on driving engagement and retention with our employees. Because we know that when your school is filled with reliable, valued workers, students benefit most of all.
Incentivizing stellar employees.
Rewards
We offer rewards such as gift cards, gas cards, and donated services provided by the local community to ensure our employees feel recognized and appreciated.
Referral Bonuses
We offer $100 bonuses to employees who refer friends and family to work for us—and there’s no limit to the number of referrals they can make or the amount they can earn.
Substitute Educator of the Year
For our PK-12 employees, every year we honor their contributions through our annual Substitute Educator of the Year Awards. Each winner receives a bonus, plus money to donate to the school of their choice.
Paying it forward.
Kelly Education rewards employees for their hard work and willingness to take on last-minute or more difficult assignments through incentives such as surge or bonus pay.
And what better way to help educators earn extra money than through our exclusive referral program. We reward our employees with $100 for every qualified candidate who passes our hiring process and works 40 hours.
Education workforce solutions, simplified.
We can help solve your most complex education workforce challenges by delivering high–quality talent that moves education forward.
