Wynn Resorts announced Wednesday it will continue paying all salaried, hourly and part-time employees in Massachusetts and Las Vegas through May 15.

“It is our shared responsibility to follow the direction of health and safety professionals to stay home, and limit social contact,” said Wynn Resorts CEO Matt Maddox. “We owe it to each other, our families and to our community.”

The company employs more than 15,000 people in the United States. For tipped employees, the pay will include “the average tip compliance rate or distributed tips/tokes since the beginning of the year,” Wynn Resorts said in a statement.

Wynn Resorts opened Encore Boston Harbor last June. The property features a 210,000-square-foot casino, 671 hotel rooms, 15 dining and lounge venues and ballroom and meeting space.

The property shutdown in mid-March after the Massachusetts Gaming Commission ordered all casinos to close for two weeks. That order was extended to at least April 7, brining it in line with Gov. Charlie Baker’s order to close all non-essential businesses.

Wynn Resorts first announced it would pay all its employees for 30 days. The company extended pay to two months with Wednesday’s announcement.

MGM Springfield said it would pay employees for two weeks after doors were closed and pay benefits for all eligible employees enrolled in its health plans through June 30. MGM pledged to create a $1 million employee emergency grant fund and donate meals to food banks.

Penn National Gaming, owner of Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville, said its 400 employees would be paid for two weeks.

Unemployment claims in the U.S. soared to 3.3 million in the third week of March, the Department of Labor reports. This represents an increase of 3 million claims from the previous week and quadruples the previous all-time high record set decades ago. The previous record was set in 1982 when 695,000 claims were filed in a week.

As recently as February, the unemployment rate was at 3.5% nationwide, a 50-year low. But as the number of coronavirus cases rise and businesses face uncertainty when they will be able to reopen, job losses will continue to grow.
