Worker Incentives

About the program

The Restaurant Revitalization Program (RRP) is partnering with local restaurants. The goal is to provide worker incentives to new and existing employees. With the exception of tuition assistance, incentives are paid to workers directly by their participating RRP restaurant employer. This program is a partnership between:

Worker incentives include:
  • $900 retention bonus per worker ($300 for 3 months), issued following the conclusion of the three-month pilot period, depending on when your three-month term employment has been completed
  • One Fair Wage ($12.75 per hour) to tipped employees for the month of November 2021
  • Up to $5,000 in tuition assistance, via a one-time payment to an accredited college or occupational skills training program with an existing Office of Workforce Development partnership
    • Please note: To be eligible for the tuition assistance, you must first earn the $900 retention bonus through your 3-month term employment. Funding is given on a first-come basis.
