WHEREAS, the Sullivan County Legislature per Resolution No. 449-22 authorized a bonus payment to employees at the Adult Care Center for working additional shifts, and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 449-22 has a sunset date of August 31, 2023 and the Administrator of the Adult Care Center has requested an extension of the time period to continue these bonuses to continue to assist with their critical staffing shortage, and
WHEREAS, the Sullivan County Legislature recognizes the need to continue these bonuses due to critical staffing needs of the facility and the need for staff to continue to volunteer to cover additional hours to maintain required staffing levels; and
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby authorizes the continuation of bonuses of $125.00 per occurrence to be paid to any staff member (part time or full time) who volunteers and actually works an additional seven and a half (7.5) or eight (8) hours additional, beyond that for which they are actually scheduled, during any weekend, defined as Saturday through Sunday; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, any Part Time or Full Time employees that work their regular schedule and volunteer for and works an additional 7.5 hours or 8 hours in any given week, by working no less than 3.75 or 4 additional hours for a total of 7.5 or 8 hours (as regularly scheduled) in any given day, will receive $75 in addition to their regular pay, and it is further
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Per-Diem workers, after working their two required shifts for the month, will receive $150 after working three volunteer shifts in a week, and it is further
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the bonus pay provided for herein will only be granted if the employee works all of their regularly scheduled shifts for the particular week in which they claim to have earned the benefit. Bonus time will not be paid merely for volunteering for an additional shift after not working all scheduled shifts for the particular week; and it is further
RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby adopts this shift incentive bonus program for a period of time ending on August 31, 2024, retroactively paying employees who worked the shifts outlined above, back to the September 1, 2023.
