You don't get paid just yet: "When a publisher who signed up for Google AdSense through your referral earns $5 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with $5." From their website. Don't tell your friend to click on your ads - you'll get banned. Referral buttons are classed the same as any other ad and soliciting clicks is frowned upon.
You get paid when he makes first $5. Look around adsense topic on this site. They have a good post about new payment for refferals. Google changed the payment plan.
