Anaheim Marriott Pays $2.75 Million to 24 Ex-Employees Over Recall Law Violations

Summary
$2.75 million will go to 24 former Anaheim Marriott workers after the hotel agreed to settle claims that they were denied rehire opportunities following COVID-era layoffs.
A California Labor Commissioner investigation found the hotel failed to offer available jobs to eligible former employees by seniority, as required under the state's Right to Recall law.
SB 93, enacted in 2021 for industries hit hard by pandemic layoffs including hospitality, requires covered employers to rehire qualified workers who had at least six months of service and lost jobs due to the pandemic.
The settlement underscores continuing compliance risks from past workforce cuts before the California recall law is set to expire on Jan. 1, 2027.
