Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is Professional Hospitality Connections an employment agency?

No, we are not an employment agency. We are a platform that connects hospitality businesses to hospitality professionals.

2. How does a company pay temp candidates/workers?

Minimum Wage & Overtime:

  • Temporary workers must be paid at least the California minimum wage and receive applicable overtime pay just like permanent employees. State Regs Today

Pay Frequency:

  • Temporary workers generally must be paid weekly (or daily for single-day assignments) by the Employer. California Labor Law.

Final Paychecks:

  • If a temporary worker’s relationship with the employer ends, final wages are due immediately (or within 72 hours if they quit without notice).
3. What happens if an employer cancels a shift?

Under California law, if a non-exempt employee is scheduled to work and the shift is canceled or shortened without proper notice, the employer may be required to pay what’s called reporting time pay. This applies regardless of whether the worker is per diem, temporary, part-time, or full-time. CalDIR+1

Key points: If an employee shows up for a scheduled shift that is canceled or they are sent home early, the employer may have to pay a minimum amount even though the employee didn’t work the full shift. CalDIR.

Under regulations interpreted by courts and the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), reporting time pay generally applies when a shift is canceled or reduced within 48 hours of the start time. myerslawgroup

The rule does not usually require pay if the shift is canceled before the employee reports for work, unless the shift was scheduled and there’s an applicable scheduling law or contract that says otherwise.

4. As a candidate, when will my profile be available on the platform?

After you sign up and complete your profile, it will undergo a vetting process conducted by a member of the Professional Hospitality Connections team. Once you are approved as a verified candidate, you may begin applying for temporary or permanent positions.

5. How does Professional Hospitality Connections manage candidates and clients?

Professional Hospitality Connections maintains active communication with both clients and candidates to address any personnel issues promptly. Candidates with repeated issues, as well as employers who mistreat workers or fail to provide proper payment, may be removed from our network to ensure professionalism and accountability.
