"The general manager for the Palm Springs Riviera Resort & Spa told SFGATE that while its 233 employees were told they were laid off, the resort plans to keep on as many staff members as it can during the seven-month renovation, with a commitment to rehire the rest after the modernization is complete."
"Jay said that none of the employees are represented by a union. A WARN filing with the state of California, which is required in the event of mass layoffs, said that the last day of work for employees will be May 31."
"He said construction crews will live on the property to help expedite the work. Parts of the Riviera will remain open to guests during construction."
"We're trying to do this as quickly as possible to minimize construction cost and loss of staff, Jay said."
