All SeaWorld Workers to Get Holiday Bonus
ORLANDO (Orlando Sentinel) -- SeaWorld officials said that for the first time at that attraction all employees, numbering more than 3,000, will receive Christmas bonuses. Keith Kasen, executive vice president and general manager of the Anheuser-Busch Co.-owned attraction, said the bonuses are a reflection that, “Despite the tourism recession, we have been performing well, and we’re generating near-record attendance in 2002.” The bonus for workers who have logged at least 1,000 hours this year will be $400 each. For those who have worked from 500 to 999 hours, the bonus will be $200. And employees who have clocked from 1 to 499 hours will receive $100. That would mean that even seasonal workers hired for Christmas will get a bonus. About 65 such workers will be added to the payroll for the coming holiday season. All nine of Busch’s SeaWorld and Busch Gardens parks in the United States will receive bonuses for Christmas, Kasen said.
