Sheriff’s Deputies Get their Birthday off
Comments: 0
In light of the Roanoke City Police Department protesting their Pay and Benefits, the City Council will make a ruling on an Amendment to the contract with Sheriff Octavia Johnson to give her Sheriff Deputies their Birthday off. Actually, the Amendment gives 59 remaining Deputies their Birthday off and makes the previous 200, give or take a few, legitimate.
So, if it goes through, I will imagine we will see our memo come out next week telling us we get our Birthday off.
Note: We aren’t talking about paid leave, or holiday time, or sick leave. We are talking about getting your Birthday off with pay at no cost to yourself.
Let me be the first to say that I really appreciate the extra free day off to all those involved. I mean you don’t like the Sheriff’s Deputies more than Roanoke’s Finest or Roanoke’s Bravest or the rest of the City of Roanoke’s workforce do you?
