A Kentucky HVAC contractor decided the best way to handle the upcoming vaccine mandate was to ease employee concerns with education, quality leadership, and a bonus. Jett’s Specialty Contracting in Paducah, Kentucky, is paying all of its 62 employees a $500 bonus for getting fully vaccinated. Office manager Rachel Jett said it doesn’t matter when the employee received the vaccination, whether they work in the office or the field, or how long they have been with the company. Get a shot, get a check.
Rachel Jett’s husband, Jeffrey, started the firm in 2013. Jeffrey Jett is a Marine Corps. veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result, Jett’s qualifies as a service-disabled veteran owned small business. The firm does a lot of service work at Veteran’s Administration hospitals, along with other health care facilities.
