Thunder Valley Casino Resort closing due to coronavirus leaving employees with temporary pay, benefits

March 19, 2020

SACRAMENTO, Calif — Multiple casinos in Northern California are planning to close their doors temporarily as a precautionary measure to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

This includes big names like the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento and now the Thunder Valley Casino Resort. But there is a difference between how these two casinos are handling their employee benefits.
In a statement to ABC10, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento said it would continue to pay workers full compensation and health benefits during the closure. 
“We are focused on the wellbeing of our team and this means a continued commitment to payroll, benefits and appropriate health and welfare measures which are paramount," stated Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento at Fire Mountain President Mark Birtha. "Our employees come from right here in the Sacramento area, with over 70% coming from Yuba and Sutter counties.”
