CORTLAND, NY (CortacaToday) — Cortland County authorities could receive COVID-19 compensation.

A proposed resolution would give employees in the Corrections Division of the Sheriff’s Office $1,500 each.

Officials say crews at the Cortland County Jail provided 24/7 coverage in hazardous conditions during the pandemic.

If legislators approve the resolution, full-time employees who worked between March 17, 2020 and December 31, 2021 – and who are currently employed in the Corrections Division – would receive the payment.
