We are so excited that once again we will be
presenting the Chamber Christmas Bonus. Thanks to the generosity of an
anonymous donor, the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce has been granted a fund
to give five Patrick County citizens a $1000 Christmas bonus. A random drawing will be held to pick the
winners. This year, in recognition of their service, sacrifice and commitment
to our community, one winner will be a frontline medical worker: a nurse,
CNA or aide, a home-healthcare worker, a rescue squad member, a medical office
employee including maintenance and custodial, a nursing home or rehabilitation
facility employee including maintenance and custodial, a pharmacy worker
or staff member, any paid or unpaid persons serving in healthcare settings who
have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious
materials, and any other worker in the medical field designated as critical or
essential by their employer or the CDC. These individuals may
simply submit their own names so long as they meet all other eligibility
requirements and need not be nominated by their employer, though employer
nominations are welcome as well. If you self-submit an entry, please note
your status as a frontline medical worker.
To
be eligible for the drawing, employees must have worked for a company,
organization, business or county department or office for at least two years
and make $45,000 or less and meet the criteria listed below. Also, with several
new businesses opening in the county, some of which have not been in operation
for two years, if your business is less than two years old, an employee who has worked for you the majority of the time you
have been open is eligible for the bonus if the employee meets the other
requirements, which are as follows:
1. Be a Patrick County resident.
2.
Have worked for a Patrick County company, organization, business, or county
department or office for a minimum of 28 hours per week for two years or, in
the case of a new business less than two years old, worked the majority of the
time since opening.
3.
Make $45,000 per year or less.
4.
No more than 25 entries per company, organization, business, or county
department/office.
5.
Entries must be submitted by the Google Form by business owners, human
resources, or supervisors. No family or friend nominations. No self-nominations, unless submitting as a
frontline medical worker.
6.
Only one winner per company, organization, business, or county
department/office.
7.
Business owners are not eligible.
8.
Past winners are not eligible.
The validity of all entries will be the
responsibility of the company submitting the entry and will not be the
obligation of the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce to verify. The contest will
begin on November 17, 2021 and all entries must be received no later than 5:00pm
on December 3, 2021. A random drawing will be held on or before December 6,
2021. Winners will be notified through the company or organization submitting
the entry and checks will be delivered during work hours. Self-nominated frontline healthcare workers
may be contacted directly. Feel free to contact the Chamber office if you have
any other questions. 276-694-6012.
