Las Vegas' South Point casino furloughs program
According to a statement from the property, most of the South Point Hotel and Casino's staff will be temporarily laid off on May 3 "for an indefinite period" as a result of the property's closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The South Point released the following statement on the furloughs:
"The employees of South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa employees are extremely important to us and we have been doing everything we can to assist them during this difficult period. As a result, of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resort closure mandate through April 30, 2020 by Governor Sisolak, we have had to make a very difficult decision to furlough most of our employees for an indefinite period beginning on May 3, 2020. "
South Point will maintain workers’ health benefits through July 31, 2020 and will cover health payroll insurance deductions through that time as well. Once the property reopens, workers will be brought back based on demand.
