Paid holidays for contracted security guards
Summary
Guards at County buildings that close on holidays lose a day's pay — up to $2,500 a year — while others in the same buildings still work. The County will now reimburse vendors for holiday pay on July 4, Thanksgiving and Christmas, but a new state law blocks similar requirements after October 1.
