MGM Resorts lay off employees due to COVID-19 pandemic
MGM Resorts International is making thousands of furloughs permanent today.
Employees with MGM Resorts were reportedly informed that any employee who isn’t called back to work on or before August 31st will “be separated from the company.”
Today marks the deadline for the date of separation for furloughed employees, but MGM leaders say they are providing support and resources for those impacted.
Employees who are not returning to work retain their health coverage through the end of September.
MGM CEO and President Bill Hornbuckle says that as demand grows, laid off employees could still be called back to their jobs based on seniority and position through December 31st.
Laid off employees can also receive help through the company’s employee emergency grant fund which has paid out $12 million so far through November 29th.
