[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1624684, member: 18945"] Like all costs of doing business, I think it's acceptable that any increased cost in wages such as hazard duty pay be passed on to the consumer. I wouldn't expect a business owner, especially small business owners to have to absorb all of it. I already get kinda burned when I see a fuel charge or hurricane infrastructure repair charge on my electric bill. Who to offer it to? Hard to say, but I would certainly be ok with doctors, nurses and other medical personnel getting it, along with fire/paramedics and police. There are quite a few police officers coming down with covid-19 in NYC already just due to their everyday person-to-person interaction with the public. Is it a case of "It comes with the job..they knew it when they took the job?" It's a slippery slope tho. If a drilling crew is drilling along and take a downhole kick, the risk of harm increases dramatically if they aren't on their toes, sometimes even if they are the best there is..does HD pay kick in as soon as the kick happens and ends once the kick is circulated out? more questions than answers... Should it be mandatory? I dunno. That should probably be best left up to the owner of the business. I firmly believe the business owner has to have a good working relationship with his employees every day no matter what..neither one running too much roughshod over the other. How much? No more than $0.94/hr would be max I believe. That's based on a 40 hr work week X4=160 hrs/month. 160 hrs ÷$150=$0.938 per hr. (I could probably support a bit more for nurses and radiology techs....they put up with a lot of risk every day even in 'normal' times.) IMO, doctors already make a **** pot full of $$.. [/QUOTE]
