The City of West Palm Beach invites all businesses who are interested in increasing their sales through an employee discount program. It is the intent of the City to promote and post those businesses providing discounts to the 1500+ employees. The City is seeking businesses which have a permanent place of business within Palm Beach County.

The objectives of this program are:

• Support local businesses to capture sales that may be otherwise missed,
• Provide City employees with options for saving money for everyday products and services, and,
• Provide City employees the incentive to buy local.

This is a non-exclusive program and all Palm Beach County businesses are encouraged to respond. The City does not intend to limit the number of businesses in each category.

Each business that submits and offer and is found to meet the minimum requirements will be notified by letter. Employees will be instructed to show their I.D. badge in order to get the discount.

Business discounts will be posted by the City on the City’s electronic Employee Bulletin Board and advertised through other forms of communication. The City reserves the right to determine which categories of businesses it will make available for employee discounts.

The City will accept Discount Offers on an on-going basis. The Discount Offer form is available in Word Document or PDF formats. Businesses are encouraged to attach their menus, flyers, or line item lists with the Discount Offer form in an electronic format.
