NUECES COUNTY, Texas — Nueces County employees got an early Christmas present this Wednesday as Commissioner's Court voted to give them premium pay.
Some of those workers will be getting the extra pay in a week. The first bonus checks will be sent to law-enforcement officers and will be a premium pay of 20-percent.
That amount will then be paid to those officers every quarter thereafter.
The rest of the County employees will get a 10-percent quarterly premium pay beginning in January. That money is coming from the American Rescue Plan Act.
