In a bid to ward off anticipated Rugby World Cup absenteeism, Sky City has offered its staff a cash bonus incentive to come to work as rostered during the tournament.
With its hotels expected to be full and its bars and restaurants wanting to take full advantage of the expected visitor boom, Sky City's human resources general manager Grainne Troute said the incentive was a "pragmatic business initiative that makes absolute commercial sense" during a busy time.
The bonus, of $8-10 for every shift provided the employee works 100% of rostered shifts during the tournament, comes as Sky City continues negotiations with its union staff members whose collective employment agreement runs out on January 1, 2011.
In October, Sky City said it expected earnings from its Auckland casino and hotel complex to surge up to 25% during the months of the Rugby World Cup.
