$12.50 per hour additional to hourly rate, with a minimum of a 2-hour shift. The funds are reimbursable through the CARES Act as a part of the County’s cost allocation. The fiscal impact is not known at this time, as details are still being finalized, but there is sufficient CARES Act funding to cover this expense.
