The city of Greer purchased $20,000 worth of gift cards and presented them to city employees at this morning's annual Christmas breakfast. Each full-time employee received a $100 gift card and part-timers received $50. The cards are redeemable at any of the 688 chamber members' businesses that accept MasterCard, Visa or Discover.
City Administrator Ed Driggers convinced City Council to re-institute the Christmas bonus that has been held back for the past two years. City Council also approved a pay increase contingent on the city coming in under budget in the proposed amount at the end of fiscal 2011-2012.
