THE REQUIREMENTS
There are a few requirements companies must meet to be eligible for our programme. You are eligible to participate if you:
- Have a minimum of 10 employees working in the Cornwall*
- Have a facility or operations in Cornwall
- Are publicly or privately held organisation
- Have been in business for at least one year, at the program registration deadline
*To ensure credibility, organisations having 10-24 full and part time employees must have an 80% or better response rate on the employee survey. Temporary, per diem, seasonal, independent contractors, consultants, interns and volunteers are not counted in the number of employees or included in the survey process.
HERE’S HOW TO ENTER
There are three different ways companies can participate.
FIRST – As an individual organisation possessing one Registered Company Number.
SECOND – As the parent/holding company of multiple organisations with one Registered Company Number for all subsidiaries. The parent/holding company must register with all eligible employees working for that parent/holding company.
THIRD – Subsidiaries of a parent/holding organisation may register separately if each subsidiary organisation possesses a separate Registered Company Number. If the organisation has multiple facilities, branches, factories, offices or stores, all locations must be included in the survey if they operate under the same Registered Company Number.
WHO TO INCLUDE
When you participate, all of your current full- and part-time permanent employees working in Cornwall should be included. This means everyone…from the line-level employees all the way up to the executives and from the on-site workers to remote employees. If they physically work in Cornwall or work remotely and report to a supervisor in Cornwall, include them.
INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC NOTES
Below are a few notes designed to address common questions we receive from companies in certain industries.
Consulting: Full- and part-time consultants working at client sites should be included.
Hotels: When counting up your Cornwall employees, think about what company owns and runs your hotel, what company name is on your paychecks, and whether you share a Registered Company Number with a large hotel organization. If the names are different and Registered Company Number is not shared, all you need is the number of Cornwall employees at your location.
Real Estate: Your agents are considered independent contractors, which means they are not eligible to participate in the survey.
Staffing: You should only include full- and part-time employees working at your location. Any employees who work on-site for a client should not be included.
