PTO accrues at a rate of 0.0385 hours per hour worked, up to a maximum of 80 hours (10 days) per year. We cap carryover at 80 hours because we genuinely believe time away from work is essential.

Bereavement Leave:Full-time and part-time employees who have completed their introductory period and experience the loss of an immediate family member will be granted paid time off for the time actually lost from their regularly scheduled shifts. We are sorry you'll ever need this, but we want you to be able to grieve without added financial stress.

401(k) Retirement Plan:All employees are automatically enrolled in our 401(k) plan at a 3% upon completing their 90-day introductory period. The company provides matching contributions, which is a meaningful investment in your financial future.

$600 Employee Referral Bonus:Know someone great? Send them our way. Both you and the referred employee are eligible for the $600 referral bonus, available to full-time and part-time employees alike. The bonus is paid out in three installments every two months through regular payroll. Please note that the program includes a 6-month clawback period - if the referred employee voluntarily leaves within 6 months, the newly hired employee will be required to repay the incentive to the hotel.
