The event will begin at 10 am and run until 2 pm at the Event Center. Entry-level positions are open as well as management. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"details-of-the-event\">Details of the Event <\/h2>\n<p>Individuals interested in employment should attend the meeting today and speak with the human resources team of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/states\/new-york\">New York casino<\/a>. Candidates will be interviewed on the spot with positions open for security, surveillance, gaming, drink, and food employment. <\/p>\n<p>Some positions are open to individuals as young as 18. Others require a 21-year-old age limit due to handling alcohol. Anyone attending the event is asked to bring a resume with prior work experience. Anyone that is not vaccinated for COVID-19 should wear a facemask or some type of covering. <\/p>\n<p>Rivers Casino Director of Human Resources, <strong>Linda Waters<\/strong>, commented that the casino is a fun place to work and perfect for anyone who is looking for a high-energy work environment. Waters pointed out the casino is a great place for anyone to start on a career path in the gaming and hospitality industry with opportunities for growth. <\/p>\n<p>Full-time positions include medical benefits and paid time off. Each position within the casino is open to free shuttle bus service from CDTA blue line buses to report to work. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"settling-a-class-action-lawsuit\">Settling a Class Action Lawsuit<\/h2>\n<p>The job fair at the Rivers Casino comes just a short time after the parent company of the resort settled a class action suit for around $5.5 million. The suit was filed by employees who said that Rush Street Gaming, LLC were not paid properly for overtime work. <\/p>\n<p>The suit was originally filed by <strong>Kendra Brown<\/strong>, an employee of Rivers Schenectady from April 2017 to the end of 2019. Brown claimed that the casino broke the <a href=\"https:\/\/govtrackus.s3.amazonaws.com\/legislink\/pdf\/stat\/52\/STATUTE-52-Pg1060.pdf\">Fair Labor Standards Act<\/a> and New York Labor Law by not calculating her overtime pay along with pay for others. <\/p>\n<p>Based on employment laws, the suit claims that the casino shorted Brown and other employees quite a bit for overtime pay. The casino did not pay the statutory minimum rate for tipped employees, paying much less for overtime hours. <\/p>\n<p>The settlement gives hourly tipped employees that are part of the claim a chance to recoup their losses. Brown will receive $7,500 and attorneys in the cash will receive as much as $1.9 million for fees. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary The hiring event runs from 10 am to 2 pm at the Event Center.
