The Issue

Many security personnel/EMT/police/First Reaponders are still working and have post orders;  but do not receive hazardous pay during the covid19 pandemic. 

unemployed people are receiving additional $600 a week in unemployment benefits without any risk to covid19 because they are getting paid to basically stay home. Meanwhile there are many essential workers in all types of fields getting paid regular wages; even though they are being put at risk. 

Security personal and First Responders are being over looked and should be compensated. Casinos and private businesses as well as banks and stores have on call First Responders and Security; which also puts them at risk due to being hands on with the public. 

anyone that is in security/law enforcement or a First Responder should be given hazardous pay regardless of there post if they are actively working. They should also receive back pay from moment quarantine started. I propose a pay increase when at work or a weekly bonus similar to the $600 that unemployed people are getting.
