Board of Supervisors Adopts Updated Ordinance to Allow for Budgeted Employee Bonuses 

At its October 10, 2023 meeting, the Prince George County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and unanimously approved an Ordinance to authorize bonuses to be paid to employees as provided for in the adopted fiscal year budget.  All ordinances must be advertised for a public hearing prior to adoption.  This was not a request for money.  The reason for the request is that the County received notice that state funds are going to be provided for the purpose of giving a one time “bonus” to employees who work in dispatch.  Virginia Code § 15.2-1508, 1950, as amended, requires that any bonus paid to an employee be authorized by ordinance.
