COUNTYWIDE : 3 Cities to Beef Up Reservists’ Salaries
Military reservists employed by Tustin, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach who are called to active duty for the Gulf War will continue to receive certain pay and benefits.
In Tustin, employees will continue to be paid the difference between their military salary and their city salary, and will continue to receive benefits.
Newport Beach will make up the difference between military and city pay to reservists for six months and continue benefits to the employees’ families. City employees who serve in the Persian Gulf for more than a year may receive up to 30 days’ full salary.
Huntington Beach also will continue health benefits to families of employees in the Gulf. Reservists will receive full city salary for the first 30 days.
