Santa Clara Countywhen the Board of Supervisors decided to give hero pay bonuses to approximately 22,000 employees, also with money from the American Rescue Plan Act. Full-time employees got $2,500 and part-timers received a pro-rated cut of that amount.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, every police officer stayed the course and continued to come to work to protect this wonderful city,” Enea wrote. “While other city employees were able to work from home, our police officers did not have that choice.” After the omicron variant began surging late last month, Schwartz told employees they must receive a booster shot by Feb. 1 if it’s been more than six months since their last dose.
The city says it has set aside money for businesses and individuals who can prove they lost money because of the pandemic. But council members said they were surprised that so few of them actually applied for the money — less than $200,000 so far.
