Casino workers, asking for salary during the shutdown

[virasog]

many people are experiencing the effects of this pandemic, especially the food industry and many employees are laid off from work, we can only hope that this pandemic ends soon and life returns to normal again.

As the lockdown gets extended more and more people and businesses will suffer. People are losing their jobs and businesses are coming to an end. Since physically casino are closed too, the owners have only two options either to dismiss their employees or deduct  their salaries. I think the 2nd option is much better as employees have hope to resume the work when this pandemic is over.

If they will resume, they don't need to dismiss the people, but probably there will be a reduction of manpower as I believe the demand will not be as good as before the covid-19, a business that requires big crowd to make money is not good when the virus is still not contain.

I think the 2nd option is much better as employees have hope to resume the work when this pandemic is over.

Like I said, there might be some reduction of employees, casino industry, the physical once will struggle as the economy will not be back easily to its good state.

We cannot do about that because it is one of the way to stop the spreading of the virus. Yes there are many people who suffering because of the quarantine but if the governments around the world will not do that, there will be a major catastrophe that may happen. Most of casinos are closed nowadays and many of their employees are part of the no work no pay, I think the problem is their management where their employees should receive equal salary.

What if the pandemic doesn't go away soon though? That would fck everybody up both the employer and the employee. Many people don't think about tht possibility but I think it is always better to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

It's certainly. I fear it's going to destroy the bulk of people's lives. That's why it's important to have savings when there's an emergency, the money should always give priority to needs, not comfort. Staff, particularly low-wage employees, would have a tough position in which to cope with the damages incurred by the pandemic. Not just the workers, but the owner of the business, who also suffers a lot, it's hard to start all over again.

It messes up everything and if this one would go further then it will really be a devastating scenario that cant really be handled out well even how much money you do have as a business owner.
Savings is a must but people do neglect this basic thing thats why when these kind of time or situations then we would really be having a hard time on how we gonna handle out ourselves
specially where needs should really be seek on.This isnt only applied on this business but in other things as well.We are indeed all affected with this pandemic and we do really
need that vaccine but for now we should really save money as much as we can to survive.

[GDragon]

Its hard to believe there is no vaccine yet actually.

It's a new strain of Corona Virus so it is expected that there are no virus nor vaccine for it at this moment. Scientists are doing everything to make impossible things like having a perfect cure for it in around 12-18 months. This sounds long but that is the shortest time possible that scientists can create a cure for a new virus unless they will do it this time in a shorter time then it will be better. Not hard to believe for me so lets just wait for the cure .

Yup, its even a great achievement if they really made one in just 12-18 months. It really takes a lot of time for a vaccine to be created. The vaccine for the ebola virus was created in 5 years, and sad to say its the fastest-developed vaccine ever. I think what makes it hard is because the Corona virus is still mysterious in terms of how it affects our immune system. Have you heard about the news in South korea about those reinfected ones? Quite scary. I thought there's immunity after you get one. So its really takes time, its crucial to create a safe and effective one.

About the topic, employers would say that their employees are not their responsibility, however, isn't it best to show care to the people who work for them? They may not really gave everyone their full salary but its enough if they can do something for those employees who are really suffering. So after this pandemic, their employees would be able to go back to their work.

What food industry are you referring mate?if this is about food chains and restaurants yeah there is a Bad effect because workers are having difficulties since No work no pay is indeed.

But those Food industries in form of packaging and ready to eat foods?they are the most in demand now because on them people are relying now and also those relief packages are coming from those industries.


Regarding OP?this is debatable because usually we as employees are the one who must provide foods in our table but this is a different scenario because people are forced to stop working and not their decisions or not being lazy so the employers must have consideration and Help them out first just for now,they can even charge them in the future but now?they need foods in table .

[maydna]

I hope each government will find a solution for their citizen. Many people now need food for their life, but they cannot buy because they don't have money. The company cannot pay them anymore because the company cannot make money right now. If the government can distribute the food to their people, that can help them to survive in this pandemic, but I am worried if the pandemic will stay for a few months later.

Some charities out there are invited people who want to donate to help other people who really needed food and drink, so at least, people can eat something to survive. I hope every worker in all countries can get their daily needs, so they don't ask their salary to their company because this situation is difficult for all people. I hope that many people can get help from that program, and many people will donate to help each other.

That's the thing. We are not ready when this happened, most people who only have enough income, wasn't able to prepare for this emergency. Even if employers have no obligation to others' lives, and that we are the ones that should be feeding our family, can't they give a little consideration for their employees. That's why their company should give them help even the smallest one.

I hope each government will find a solution for their citizen. Many people now need food for their life, but they cannot buy because they don't have money.

We should be expecting help from the government but looking at the interview of the mayor of Las Vegas, wanting every business to re-open, would you even think that she's worried about her people? I don't think so. I just hope that workers can survive the quarantine and this pandemic.

Yes if they cannot keep up anymore giving dole out, they should lend their workers money and just pay after this pandemic is over, this pandemic will not reach a year it will only take several months, these casino companies has savings that they can lend to their workers at this point of time.

[Venik]

i can't really imagine that owners of all those casinos and hotels don't have enough money to pay out employees' salaries. they are just too greedy!

[pilosopotasyo]

Although it's awful that some successful casino owners and management forget to protect and help their employees who helped them to become successful, some casino owners were able to send help and give their employees the salary they need. Perhaps they don't care about their employees' financial struggle because they have a lot of money, and they can survive the whole lockdown with that money.

It's their responsibility to give them a salary even if the business is closed. They should be prepared in times like this, and for sure they have an emergency fund to provide their employees. It's only a simple sacrifice for the employees who have been working for them every day.

Workers rights are protected in every country employers should advance salary to their workers or they can even advance their Christmas or thirteenth-month pay, or they can loan their workers but it should be zero interest, they have made a lot of money it's just right that they give their workers a share of their income at times like this.

No, I don't think so. She only wants to make the economy works as usual, but she doesn't believe what the dangers of the virus, especially if the virus is infecting her people. We hope that she will be enlightened and she can care with her people, and the workers can survive until the pandemic is gone.

Lending their workers money is not a solution because their workers should pay back the money in the future. How their workers can pay back if they cannot make money from anywhere? That will need a kindness from the casino companies to give something like support for their workers because their workers already help their company to operate so they can make money before.

I think if they can do that, it's like a mutual symbiosis between the owner and the workers, and I am sure that there will be a bond between them that will make them carrying each other.

Lending their workers money is not a solution because their workers should pay back the money in the future. How their workers can pay back if they cannot make money from anywhere?

They can have a terms at least paying a little each payday is more than enough as it is a Help and not a given money.

That will need a kindness from the casino companies to give something like support for their workers because their workers already help their company to operate so they can make money before.

but it is their not obligation that is the sad reality in here and if we will push that then nothing will happen in favor of both sides.

employees has no choice because they are being paid for their Job,if they will add some personal on this for sure they will be kicked our their works.

That will depend on the owner. If the owner really cares with their workers, they will give some money or food to them as a donation because they work in their place.

That will need a kindness from the casino companies to give something like support for their workers because their workers already help their company to operate so they can make money before.

but it is their not obligation that is the sad reality in here and if we will push that then nothing will happen in favor of both sides.

Yes, that is not their obligation, and that is what the workers need to realize. The workers cannot hope that their company will always help them and support them, especially at this moment. They need to search for the other way if their company cannot help them.

I think if they can do that, it's like a mutual symbiosis between the owner and the workers, and I am sure that there will be a bond between them that will make them carrying each other.

employees has no choice because they are being paid for their Job,if they will add some personal on this for sure they will be kicked our their works.

Yes, that is right. Like I said before, that will depend on the owner how big their attention to their workers.

I saw something in my uncle's small office. He gives some bonus to his workers in this month to support them to buy food for their family, although he always said to his workers that he cannot always do the same thing in the next month. The amount is not too big, but if I ask my uncle how much the amount, he only said, I think that will enough for them to buy primary food for their family.

They have the money, but the question is, are they required to pay?

You can't call them greedy as they are not required, it could be up to them if they will give some extra or not.
Casino owners are business owners, they follow a certain company rules and if it's not part of their policy to release funds, that would not happen.
let us not think that the owner are just like an owner of a small store that he can give any to his employee or employees off the books, in big businesses everything is accounted for  (in and out of money) cash flow.

Lockdown is being lifted in a staggered manner across the globe, and I hope that most of the casinos will be back in action very soon. If that doesn't happen, then a compromise needs to be reached between the two sides. Casinos can't operate online, as we already have online gambling sites for this purpose. Regular visitors may not be comfortable with the online casino games. Either wait until the lockdown is lifted, or try to reach a deal. There is no other option available.

Casino might be the last priority, you can't do a social distancing in a casino because that's not its norms. The business that are opening now are those providing our basic needs but casino doe snot provide it, so maybe we just stick to online gambling for now and it's possible that physical casinos might struggle until the end of the year or until the vaccine will be release.

What compromise do you think we can use in this case? Like slots machine even up to comply with the social distancing rule? How about in a baccarat table? so only two players are allowed in a table? Or just a certain number of individuals are just allowed inside at a certain given time?

That's why it is really hard to make a compromise inside a casino because people are constantly moving and looking for their luck.
