It was a sweeter than usual Valentine’s Day for employees at LiDestri Food and Drink.
The Rochester based producer of food, beverages and spirits gave all of their 1,200 employees at each of their five U.S. facilities an extra full paycheck.
They were notified on Wednesday that their mid-month paycheck had been doubled, because of strong company performance and the recently approved federal tax legislation.
“When we learned that the recent tax cuts would provide the company with some unaccounted-for funds, we immediately thought it should be shared with our workforce,” said Co-President Stefani LiDestri. “It just so happened that it came together on Valentine’s Day, the perfect time to let our employees know how much they mean to us.”
She said that the recent federal tax cuts will provide some unaccounted for funds, and the company thought it should be shared with the workforce.
Locally, LiDestri has facilities in Fairport and at the Eastman Business Park.
