A lot of people in various State of CA agencies got a significant amount of "other pay" during the last couple of years. regingrobot makes a valid point about meals for firemen, and that is probably true. But I doubt it was meals for the agencies where everyone was working from home. I was thinking maybe it was equipment for their homes, like computers and cameras, that were deemed the employee's to keep versus having to return upon leaving the job?
