On March 23, the Cosmopolitan casino in Las Vegas announced that they would be furloughing both part-time and on-call employees. This move took effect March 24.

There is currently a mandatory 30-day shutdown of casinos throughout the state. This took effect last week, and the Cosmopolitan is acting in accordance with this order.

In a goodwill gesture, the company originally announced that eligible employees will receive full pay and benefits through the end of March, however, they have extended full pay to full-time and eligible employees through April 16. This is when the closure of Nevada casinos is currently expected to conclude. All health benefits will be available to employees through June 30.

Those who are considered not eligible for pay and benefits will be those who averaged less than 30 hours per week over the last six months, as well as full-time employees who were hired after March 1. No mention was provided as to whether they would receive any kind of benefits or pay from the company during the closure.
