The New $500 Vaccination Incentive Is Here!
Each member of Team Savannah has a role to play in keeping our City safe as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. The higher our vaccination rate, the healthier our City will be.
To promote and protect the health and safety of our workspaces, the citizens we serve and co-workers, the City announced a new vaccination incentive program last week.
Drum Roll… Here’s How It Works
All active full and part-time permanent City of Savannah employees will receive a one-time vaccination supplement of $500 with verified evidence as determined by our third-party provider by the established deadline of November 15th.
Payouts Will Be Processed Accordingly:
- Employees who received their vaccination through the on-site City-organized vaccination clinics prior to Sept.1. will receive their $500 incentive by September 24th, 2021
- Employees who submit their records to the third-party vendor and have their information verified by October 10th will receive their $500 incentive by October 22nd, 2021
- Employees who submit their records to the third-party vendor and have their information verified by November 15th will receive their $500 incentive by December 3rd, 2021
Meeting The Deadline:
We understand that this is personal decision. To help you understand the timeline needed to meet the November 15th deadline we provide the following:
- Pfizer – must receive the first shot no later than October 23rd
- Moderna - must receive the first shot no later than October 16th
- Johnson and Johnson - November 13th
However, we strongly encourage everyone to get their first shot by the end of September. There is no plan to extend the deadline of November 15th.
FAQ’s:
How long does it take for my information to be verified?
- It could take up to 30 days for your vaccine provider to enter your information into the Georgia Vaccine Registry. Even though you may have had a shot very recently, it might take several weeks for the system to be updated. The timeframe is out of the control of the City of Savannah and the third-party vendor.
What if I’m on extended leave?
- Employees on City approved extended Leave prior to November 15, 2021 will receive $500 once they return and work within 30 calendar days.
- Proof of vaccination must be provided within 60 calendar days of return to work.
What if I submitted documentation for the 8-hour incentive leave?
- Employees who submitted their documentation for eight-hour incentive leave are required to submit their records to the third-party vendor by November 15th, 2021 to qualify for HR $500 supplement.
When do I receive my 8-hour incentive leave?
- Employees who submitted their documentation for eight-hour incentive leave by Sept. 1 will receive their 8 hours incentive leave on Sept. 24th, 2021
Is there leave available to obtain my vaccination through an outside party?
