In appreciation of the value provided by the City of Sammamish workforce and to incentivize the retention of City employees, the City Council approved two Resolutions during their
July 19 meeting authorizing payment of a retention bonus to eligible employees. The bonuses of up to $2,500 are available to employees working in a full or part time position as of
July 19, and the amount varies depending on how frequently the employee works on-site for their shifts. To read the resolutions, please click on the links below.
During the discussion of these Resolutions, Councilmembers commented on their appreciation for the great staff team and about the vital need to retain employees. The City would
like to thank its partner AFSCME Local 1425, the labor group that represents the majority of City staff, for working together on this initiative.
