Each eligible temporary employee will be referred to as a “Giveawayant.”

Good standing is defined as: Currently a current or formerly active temporary employee of Spherion as set forth above; Has complied with all explicit obligations of employment, while not being subject to any form of sanction, suspension or disciplinary censure; And has no pending investigations or lawsuits that would affect one’s employment status (based on local, state and federal government laws).

Entries and Winner Selection: 

A report for each of Spherion’s four franchisee groups will be pulled of all former and active temporary employees employed by Spherion or participating Spherion franchisees and will be downloaded and consolidated into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet document on August 17, 2022 with chronological numbers assigned to each eligible employee. Winners for each prize will be chosen through a random on-line generator at RANDOM.ORG and will be matched to the corresponding number on the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. There will be three (3) alternate Giveaway winner back-ups for each prize in the event the original winner is deemed ineligible or fails to claim the prize.

If the prospective winner is employed by a participating Spherion franchisee, he or she will be confirmed as follows: The participating franchise owner will receive an email notification of the prospective winner approximately four (4) weeks prior to the public announcement of the winner on or around September 16, 2022, and the participating franchisee or their designated contact will confirm the prospective winner is eligible based on the criteria outlined in these Official Rules. Confirmation of eligibility will be completed via a shared Google Document which will include the electronic signature of the participating franchisee or their designated contact. If the prospective winner is not confirmed eligible, the first back-up winner will be next in line with notification of eligibility in the same manner. If the first back-up winner is not confirmed eligible, the second back-up winner will be next in line with notification of eligibility in the same manner. If the second back-up winner is not confirmed eligible, the third back-up winner will be next in line with notification of eligibility in the same manner. If the third back-up winner is not eligible, Spherion will continue to secure back-up prospective winners until one is confirmed eligible. Chosen eligible winners may not transfer their prize to another person or party for the purposes of this Giveaway.

Any determination made by Spherion regarding the eligibility and selection of eligible and final winners shall be final and binding.

Giveaway winners will be notified by a telephone call, text, and/or email from the Giveawayant’s employer specifying that the winner must contact a specific official at their local Spherion franchisee branch location to confirm acceptance of the prize.
