Carlsbad approved an “urgency ordinance” Tuesday effective immediately that requires the city’s largest hotels to keep jobs available when business returns for their employees who are furloughed or laid off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Only the city’s largest hotels with 200 or more guest rooms are affected by the ordinance, including the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, and Legoland California. No criminal penalties are provided, but the ordinance gives employees the ability to file lawsuits and helps with their legal expenses if they are passed over when their position is refilled.
