In late May, the college announced that many of its employees would receive a one-time “special payment” of $1,000 to “recognize the effort and dedication” they’ve shown during the tough times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 33-year-old Duff didn’t think she’d have any trouble qualifying for the bonus money, which was limited to employees who make $150,000 or less annually. This year, she figures to earn under $40,000.
