Three different Iowa businesses have announced either bonuses, temporary raises, or additional vacation for employees.

Let's begin with Fareway. They've announced the Fareway Family Frontline Plan. It gives a one-time bonus to all hourly employees under age 18. Part-timers under 18 will also get 20 hours of paid time off. Full-timers who are hourly will get a full week of paid time off, 40 hours. Warehouse foremen and assistant managers at stores will score 47 hours of paid time off. It's important to note it's "time off." The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports Fareway is allowing employees to trade the hours for a cash payment. Current Fareway job openings can be found HERE.
