LOWVILLE, New York (WWNY) – Retention bonuses have been approved for Lewis County workers.
On Tuesday, the county legislature unanimously approved incentives for about 300 county employees.
The average employee will get $1,400.
Lawmakers say the money is a way to show gratitude to employees while helping them keep up with the cost of living expenses.
County workers at the hospital don’t receive this bonus; county leaders say those employees have already gotten other incentives.
