ITEM TITLE:

Title

Ordinance 21-045, relating to Covid-19 Premium Pay For eligible Snohomish County Employees

body

DEPARTMENT:  Finance

 

ORIGINATOR:  Nathan Kennedy

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approve

 

PURPOSE: To provide authorization for COVID-19 Premium Pay for Snohomish County Employees

 

BACKGROUND: Many County employees cannot choose to work from home and must come to work to perform their jobs, which can involve substantial interaction with customers and co-workers that could potentially spread the virus. They are wearing masks, trying as much as possible to social distance, performing safety protocols, and learning new skills to decrease transmission of the virus to protect themselves and the public. Those eligible County employees working during the COVID-19 emergency merit a premium pay bonus because they have performed duty or work involving additional risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus.  Many of those County employees have been working under such conditions since the beginning of the pandemic. To ensure that those eligible County employees are compensated for the risks of working during the COVID-19 emergency and to promote retention of vital workers, those eligible employees will be authorized via this ordinance to receive up to $1,250 Premium Pay as allowed by the CLRF-ARPA federal award for future work.
