Four Hyatt hotels in Texas laid off 842 workers in March at the height of economic turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Hyatt Regency at DFW Airport, one of the few hotels that never closed during the pandemic, laid off 210 employees on March 22, according to notices the Texas Workforce Commission made public Thursday.
The Hyatt Regency in Austin, which also remained open, laid off 224 employees on March 15.
Hyatt’s Miraval Austin Wellness Resort & Spa laid off 137 workers on March 22. That location will reopen June 25, according to its website.
In San Antonio, the Grand Hyatt laid off 271 employees on March 22. It will start accepting bookings again on July 8, according to its website.
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act require employers to provide a 60-day notice of a plant closing or mass layoffs affecting 50 or more employees at a single location.
The four notices used similar wording in their letters to the TWC, saying they were originally hopeful the layoffs would be temporary because of restrictions on travel and group meetings.
“While our hope remains that some or all of these layoffs will be temporary and last less than 6 months, we must prepare for longer-term employment losses,” the letters said.
