SEC. 186.02. PAYMENT OF MINIMUM COMPENSATION TO HOTEL WORKERS AND PROVISION OF TIME OFF.

f over the maximum. A Hotel Employer may provide a Hotel Worker with the option of cashing out any portion of, or all of, the Hotel Worker’s accrued compensated time off under the maximum, but, in no event, shall the Hotel Employer require a Hotel Worker to cash out any accrued compensated time off. Compensated time off cashed out shall be paid to the Hotel Worker at the wage rate that the Hotel Worker is earning at the time of cash out. (v) A Hotel Employer may not implement any employment policy to count accrued compensated time off taken under this article as an absence that may result in discipline, discharge, suspension, or any other adverse action. 2. Uncompensated Time Off. Hotel Employers shall also permit full time Hotel Workers to take at least 80 additional hours per year of uncompensated time off to be used for sick leave for the illness of the Hotel Worker or a member of the Hotel Worker’s immediate family where the Hotel Worker has exhausted their compensated time off for that year. (a) A full time Hotel Worker is classified as someone who works at least 40 hours a week or in accordance with the Hotel Employer’s policies, if more generous. A full time Hotel Worker shall accrue at least 80/52 hours of uncompensated time off each week in a calendar year that the Hotel Worker has been employed by the Hotel Employer. Uncompensated time off does not accrue for work in excess of 40 hours a week. Full time Hotel Workers that work less than 40 hours a week will receive the uncompensated time off in proportional increments. (b) A part time Hotel Worker is classified as someone who works less than 40 hours per week or in accordance with the Hotel Employer’s policies, if more generous. A part time Hotel Worker shall accrue uncompensated time off in increments proportional to that accrued by someone who works 40 hours a week, in accordance with Section 186.02 B.2.(a). (c) General Rules for Uncompensated Time Off. (i) A Hotel Worker must be eligible to use accrued uncompensated time off after the first six months of employment or consistent with company policies, whichever is sooner. (ii) A Hotel Employer may not unreasonably deny a Hotel Worker’s request to use the accrued uncompensated time off.
