Time Off & Holidays: We recognize 6 company holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

• Holiday Pay: Full-time and part-time employees who work a recognized holiday earn time and a half. Full-time employees not scheduled to work a holiday receive 8 hours of holiday pay at their regular rate.
• Birthday Floating Holiday: Full-time employees receive a floating holiday to celebrate their birthday, to be used within their birthday month.
• PTO: Accrual begins on your first day of employment and becomes available for use after completing your 90-day introductory period. 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. Once you hit the cap, accrual pauses until you've used some of that well-earned time off.
• Sick Time: After completing the 90-day introductory period, full-time employees accrue sick time at 1 hour for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 40 hours.
• FMLA: Available to full-time employees who meet federal eligibility requirements.

Jury Duty: We've got you covered if you're called to serve. Full-time employees who have completed their introductory period will receive the difference between their regular rate of pay and jury duty pay, based on their normal scheduled hours - up to 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week for each day of jury service.

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.

Sell Out Incentives: Receive a bonus every time the hotel sells out!
