on our country  government here declare some good rules like companies should give the 13th month pay or the xmas bonus of their employees  but in a half only   . in that way these people can have something during thier no work period plus they can still get something before the year ends   . that is a good idea to solve poverty during crisis aside from the relief operations that govt's are giving  . on the other hand , only online casinos are now making money  but not offline if they are on the country where virus is in outbreak  .

This is a good initiative by your country but this may not help much to those who are becoming jobless due to this virus. Many firms have fired people because they do not have any money to pay to them. Business have stopped, people are losing their jobs. The world is becoming too much difficult to live in this situation.

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.
The giant gambling industry certainly has an emergency fund management to anticipate things that happen unreasonably. If workers are valued for years serving the gambling industry, then all efforts to use emergency funds are realized for workers' salaries during the lockdown.

All kind of businesses was down their revenues at this moment and they are also affected by this pandemic covid19. All companies at this time must be helped by their workers/employees. They are oblique to pay their employees because the government announced home quarantine during this pandemic and the government was also issued an order that employers must pay 1 month equal to monthly wages with no conveyance expenses. Employees have the right to ask financial support to their employers.

Casinos will be heavily affected, and even after the lock down, there income will still gonna reduce as it will take time until the world will be back to normal again. the government lose money because their main source is taxes,, without the companies earning big profit, they can't generate tax and as a result the country will struggle.

Now, to these workers asking for salary during shutdown, I guess this needs to be reviewed properly, they can't just ask anything when it's not part of their agreement, and the fact that no one games in this situation, workers has to also understand their employers.

This only concludes how important to have a savings so we can prepare to this kind of scenario and for the workers, I cannot blame them if they are asking their employers for a salary because they need money right now in order to buy food and etc. just to survive in this type of situation.

In our country, the government are asking for employers to pay their employee a one month salary during the lock down and this is to help the employee in surviving the lock down. If the government in Las Vegas will do the same then it can surely help the employee to get their salary but if not the employee will have to wait for their employers whether they are kind enough to give some money to their affected employee.

You're right. We can't just spend our money like there's no tomorrow. I know some gamblers are facing this problem since it's hard for them to control their gambling habits. But we really need to save money for emergencies. We can not always gamble our extra money, we should also save it.

It's reasonable for employees to ask for a salary because they also have their rights. Although not everyone, some companies tend to decrease their employees' leave during the whole lockdown but they are being paid. Why can't others do that when their business is doing well?

I think they need support their workerd because once this lockdown end for sure many of them will appreciate of the founder of casinos do but if they did not help maybe they find another casino to work.  And also of they did not want to spend a big money just give their employee a supply of food and I think it is very little for them because everymonth or weeks they earn millions of dollars.

Indeed. Every company should have cared for their employees' health, and their livings. A single employee might not be that important for a big company, but the company won't function without their workers. They can earn back their expenses when they can go back to business. They are earning a lot, knowing that Las Vegas is really known for casinos.

Only the poor and the needy will suffer whereas the rich are still enjoying in this lockdown. I had read today on one of the news portal that newly 17m people have lost thier job in America. How will they survive in these desperate situation? They have a mouths to feed, rent to be paid and all other daily liabilities.

As far as I know, some workers in those casinos are filing their unemployment. Due to COVID-19 big percent of businesses running the economy have been affected by the virus. What more for every employee on those companies, right?

Not only the casinos and the gambling industries have been left behind by their management but also non-essential businesses. It's really a punch in the gut when your livelihood depends on businesses that are not operational during these kinds of disasters, but there's nothing you can do but to just barely survive and wait the rain out. Hopefully though governments would press down hard on these industries to at least give some form of help to their employees in times of need.
There's no option since you will going to choose between life and death as this virus can affect everyone. All businesses which been affected of this lockdown needs financial support both from the employers and the government, this no work no pay system really hurting everyone but it's still best to choose your life and survive from this crisis than risk your own life trying to keep working.

But majority do leave out no other option but to work inspite of the crisis we are facing on since they do know that they wont eat nothing if they dont work.
For those who forcely being stopped then theres no other option but to seek help into their employer or into the government itself.Its just normal for you to
do all sorts of ways for us to survive.There should be at least some humanitarian consideration when it comes to support because its really hard when you
have nothing at all specially on the food you do eat.

Not only casino workers are asking for their salaries in advance during these lockdowns and community quarantines because every employees are now asking for their salaries to their bosses and for help to their government, so they could feed their families everyday until the virus was totally cleared. It is really hard for every workers in a casino and other businesses for them to lose their jobs because it is really hard to live everyday without any source of income, that is why i wanted to end this nightmare for us not to be killed in starvation and in the virus.

I saw a social media post where it's better to emphasize employee loyalty, instead of the money itself. Seeing that casinos are always about money, they have chosen the latter, for sure.

I think the best way for them to stay in that casino is that the company gives them benefits of some sort and not rely on the government to help them. I think that seems fair.

Not just casino workers, all the people who are not having adequate saving might be facing very tough times on these isolation periods. How most governments and private owners are going to handle this situation is going to decide further consequences of shutdown. Governments are working only on preventing spread of the virus and not thinking about how people will survive without income stream. Commonly people might be having saving for one month at least and when extending the shut down for more time, governments must work on feeding those suffering people.

I am afraid without any proper curing medicine these corona mess will not be settled down. Because, even governments start allowing casino to run their business, I doubt gamblers may not prefer visiting it. Only after people will start living their usual life, there is a medicine for corona.

Im not totally against with casino owners on this situation.I know its a bit selfish but no one would sustain to support lots of workers and would spend out to give their needs since we do know that this situation do still have indefinite schedule or isnt clear yet on when it would normalize.Maybe as a casino owner- you would consider on giving out donations but doesnt mean that they would be the one to support the living
of their workers on this pandemic situation.This is the reality and for those people who took risk on running a business and becomes successful then its their advantage but it doesnt mean that they would
have the full responsibility in times like these.

2week salary or a whole month consideration would be enough and people shouldnt really expect that they would be given an aide from time to time.Lots of industries had been affected
not only on gambling area alone.Therefore, they arent the only one's whose suffering.

This is one of the hardest parts of this crisis we are currently facing. Businesses like these casinos have no income and so they probably don't have enough money to support the salaries of their entire working staff while there is no money coming in. Others are lucky enough to be able to continue providing salaries to their workers for weeks even if they are not earning anything. But not every single casino is in that better position.

It is normal to see the employee asking for salary during the lockdown, but the problem is how the owner can pay them if the business is not running and the owner also has a problem in making money? I think maybe the owner can pay for 3 months, but after 3 months, I think the owner will feel difficult to pay the salary as they cannot make money and they cannot guarantee their employee to get the money. This impact on all business that has been closed or shutdown temporary because of the virus. And the owner can not do anything except explaining the situations to their employee.

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.


We can't blame the owners of the said casino as every employment comes with an agreement that has all the rules, responsibilities, and even the perks and pensions they can have in each and every possible situation. And if ever there are no indications in their memorandum or an ordinance by their local employment department, there would be no chance for them to have an emergency salary.

I don't think this is the obligation of the casino to feed the workers, unless it's part of the contract that they will get a remuneration in situation like this.
Like the casino, when they have income they also save for unforeseen events, so employees has also to ensure they have some savings to prepare for unforeseen situation..  If casino will give, this is only based on their discretion but they are not required.

Casinos and other non-essential businesses were temporarily closed due to the virus spreading the word. We often think about gambling businesses having no income, and the decrease of the stock market. But we're forgetting about their employees who get no job and salary in the current situation.

Casino workers in Las Vegas showed their disappointment and anger towards their employers who failed to help and provide them what they need. Famous Las Vegas Strip of glitzy hotels and casino is closed due to lockdown, and thousands of their employees were left with no work and income. However, some casinos were able to support their workers and offered them a two-week salary, others gave four, while some gave nothing.

Quote
"This is not going to sustain us — we need to feed our families, we need to put food on the table, we have bills mounting up,” said Debra Jeffries, a cocktail waitress for four decades at a major Strip casino.

Las Vegas has more than 40 million visitors every year and it is known for casinos. According to the American Gaming Association, if all casinos in the US will continue to be closed until mid-May, including nearby restaurants and bars, $43.5 billion in economic activity will lose.


The treasurer-secretary of the giant Las Vegas-based Culinary Union, Geoconda Arguello-Kline called giant operating casinos to do their responsibility in the community.

Quote
“We feel the casino industry right now, they left their workers alone… it’s a very painful situation,” said Arguello-Kline.

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.

The casino earns a lot throughout the year. Infact running a casino is one of the most popular business out there which give you very good returns. So in these hard times, it is the moral duty of the casino owners to pay their workers. I know casino are closed and they got no revenue this month, but they can give still give salaries to their employees from their own pocket.

This is the big problem in a no work no pay basis. We couldn't blame the business for not giving some benefits help as they are suffering as well in this crisis, beside, there's no order existing for companies, businesses being obliged to provide some monetary help, or to provide goods for their employees (please correct me if I am wrong), that's why, may be they don't have any initiative to release some money or goods. Don't get me wrong, I am dishearten to hear this, and I feel sorry for those employees whom been left by their employers.

That is true, of course, but it does not only affect the gaming industry by far. Almost all economic sectors are affected by the crisis, be it producers of goods, industries with direct customer contact (e.g. consultants, bank employees, ...) and also employees in the casinos.

How companies are now dealing with the crisis and how they treat their employees during the crisis says a lot about the companies themselves, but will also show us which companies will be able to survive after the crisis. Because only those who behave fairly and socially even during the crisis will quickly find new employees in a phase of upswing after Corona.

This only concludes how important to have a savings so we can prepare to this kind of scenario and for the workers, I cannot blame them if they are asking their employers for a salary because they need money right now in order to buy food and etc. just to survive in this type of situation.

In a crisis like this, where potentially no sales are made for months, even a company's best reserves don't help. Imagine a medium-sized company with 10,000 employees. An employee here in Central Europe costs around 30 euros an hour. So you have to have reserves of 2.4 million euros (30 * 8 * 10000) per day. A company of this size might do well for a month, and two or more months inevitably lead to insolvency.
