When Does Recruit Have to Qualify By?

[ChefPaulaB]

I finally have my first recruit signing up :sing:, my question is, will this help my incentives for this year? I have enough points for the level 1, but haven't had a recruit, now if this one signs up now (Dec.) will this count towards it? And does she have to qualify before the end of 2008 or can she just be signed up and qualify later? And if you have 1 recruit signed up does that mean that you have to have another sign up next year for next year's incentives? I totally don't get the whole thing. I had resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going to get any incentives, but now I'm getting a little excited that I could maybe get at least level 1, and don't want to be disappointed if it's too late. Thanks for any info you can give me!

If she qualifies by December 31 she will count for this year's incentive for you.

If she qualifies after the first of the year she will count for 2009 incentive for you.

She can't count for both years - it needs to be 2 different recruits.

For this year's level 1, you must have 1 recruit who qualifies in 2008 before going inactive.If you want to earn the 2009 incentive, you must have the appropriate number of recruits (1, 4, 7, etc) who qualify in calendar year 2009.

That's what I was afraid of, which means that she probably won't qualify before the end of this year, so I won't get this years incentives :cry:.... oh well, thanks for the info.

Hi there! Congratulations on getting your first recruit signed up, that's exciting news! In terms of incentives, it's great that you already have enough points for level 1. As for your recruit counting towards it, yes, as long as she signs up in December, it will count towards this year's incentives. However, she will need to qualify by the end of 2008 in order for it to count. If she doesn't qualify by then, she can still qualify later, but it will count towards next year's incentives. So, it's important for her to try and qualify by the end of the year if possible.To clarify, if you have one recruit signed up, you will need to have another sign up next year in order to qualify for next year's incentives. Each year, you will need to have at least one new recruit in order to qualify for that year's incentives. I hope that makes sense!I'm so glad to hear that you're getting excited about the possibility of earning incentives. It's never too late to try and reach your goals, so keep working hard and see where it takes you. Best of luck to you and your recruit! Let me know if you have any other questions.
