The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors approved on a 3-2 vote July 7 to have County Attorney Heather Lewis draft an ordinance to approve a 2% bonus for all county employees. Supervisors officially OK’d it on a 5-0 vote Tuesday, Aug. 4.
The Virginia General Assembly “Caboose Bill” HB29/SB29” was a mid-biennium budget adjustment that authorizes funding from the state for a one-time bonus for state-supported local employees, which became effective June 1.
The state would provide funds to cover constitutional officers and their employees, but the county would have to provide funds for non-state local employees.
