Zrinski Adding New Benefits For NorCo Employees, Including Cupcakes

At Northampton County Council's April 16 meeting, she informed Council that she is proposing new policies that will certainly benefit some if not all county employees. I'm a little unclear on whether this proposal applies only to three unions whose contracts are expiring or the entire workforce. At the time I write this, it's a bit too late to hop on the phone, but I will find out for sure either tomorrow, or more likely, Friday. 

First, she desires to increase the number of paid holidays by adding five more holidays, including Indigenous People's Day and a "Spring Break" over the Easter weekend. 

Second, "Starting January 1, 2027, everybody gets their birthday off," she said with a smile.  "When you can't pay people, you gotta' give them days off. That is how we increase morale. That, and cupcakes. I find cupcakes work really well. The pizza thing? Overdone."

I like both of these ideas, but I have to stay away from both cupcakes and pizza.
