Christmas just got a little merrier for all full time and part time employees of the City of Shreveport.
This past Friday, the Shreveport City Council voted 6-1 to issue a one-time payment of $1,000 to all full time Shreveport employees and a $500 one-time payment of all part time employees.
We learned that the only vote against the payment was cast by Shreveport City Councilman, John Nickelson, who said Louisiana s state constitution bars cities from paying bonuses to city employees and he felt this payment qualified as a bonus.
However, councilman James Flurry explained that the payment is being considered hazard pay for all employees who have worked during the coronavirus pandemic. It was certainly not a bonus and the money was taken from more than $2 million in sales tax revenue excess.
