Money given to give away
A bank is giving its full-time employees US$1,000 each and part-time employees US$500 each. There's one condition -- use it for people in need. State Bank & Trust chief operating officer Michael Solberg said the payments are part of a US$502,000 "Pay it Forward" initiative. "We're going to really see some huge impact on our community," Solberg said. Employees were told not to use the money for themselves, their families or families of other bank employees. The bank asked employees to document the good deed with a videocam. The deadline is June 30.
