Ware County approves annual safety-incentive pay; full-timers to receive $125, part-timers $65
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 2025-24 authorizing a budgeted safety-incentive payment to county employees (full-time $125, part-time $65); staff indicated checks will be issued in early December and basic eligibility checks apply.
Ware County commissioners approved Resolution 2025-24 to authorize an annual safety-incentive payment for county employees. Chair announced the resolution as a routine, budgeted item requiring commission sign-off.
Speaker 6 said the incentive pay is part of the county budget and noted the commission is asked to approve it each year. He told commissioners that checks will be issued by staff — “You go, on December 4, Melissa's gonna write a check,” Speaker 6 said — and described the payment levels as $125 for full-time employees and $65 for part-timers. Speaker 5 noted a basic eligibility review is applied, saying employees who "haven't worked in over 6 months" may not qualify.
No detailed roll-call vote or individual tallies were recorded in the transcript; the chair announced the resolution as approved in the meeting sequence. Staff characterized the incentive as offset by workload or work-comp measures and attendees described it as a regular, longstanding program applied broadly to staff.
Next steps: staff will issue the payments and apply the stated eligibility checks; commissioners did not propose substantive changes to the program during this meeting.
