VERONA, N.Y. — The Oneida Indian Nation says it is paying a total of $1.5 million in summer bonuses to nearly all its hourly employees.
“Eligible employees received bonuses in recognition of welcoming guests returning for a busy summer season,” the organization said in a news release.
The Oneida Nation added that it developed the summer-bonus program to recognize the employees’ “commitment to excellence during challenging times,” as well as the efforts needed to prepare for reopening the Oneida Indian Nation’s enterprises. Additionally, the program acknowledged the added responsibilities that employees took on during a busy summer as more visitors returned to Oneida Indian Nation properties for gaming, dining, and golfing.
