Rockets officials are working on a plan to address the income of hourly Toyota Center employees who will not be working while the NBA and other arena events are postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic, Rockets CEO Tad Brown said Friday.

“We are putting those plans together right now,” Brown said. “As we always have in times of crises, we will take care of our part-time employees as well as all of our employees. We’re working internally to identify the best course going forward. But we are taking care of them.”

Brown did not get into specifics of the plan in part because it was still being formulated. The Rockets had nine home games scheduled for the remainder of the regular season. Those games could be rescheduled, potentially impacting plans for game-night employees that would still work the scheduled games if the NBA resumes the season.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday that the league will remain on hiatus for at least 30 days.

There have also been three Toyota Center concerts postponed that also could be rescheduled.

“We’re putting together a plan to take care of our part-time employees during their time of need,” Brown said.

Arenas employ between 500 and 1,000 part-time workers for games and other events, including vendors, ushers, security personnel, maintenance and cleaning personnel, parking lot attendants and others, with the numbers varying based on the size of the venue and event. Newer or remodeled arenas with extensive premium areas within the arena bring in more hourly employees than arenas had in the past.

Similar plans have been cited by ownership or management of the Warriors, Cavaliers Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Grizzlies and Heat, as well as various NHL teams. NBA players Kevin Love, Blake Griffin and Giannis Antetokounmpo have pledged to donate $100,000 each to help arena workers during the hiatus.

Pelicans rookie Zion Williams said he would “cover the salaries” of Smoothie King Center workers for 30 games.

“This is a small way for me to express my support and appreciation for these wonderful people who have been so great to me and my teammates and hopefully we can all join together to relieve some of the stress and hardship caused by this national health crisis,” Williams wrote in an Instagram post.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said in a postgame news conference Wednesday that he had begun looking into supporting game-night employees.

“I reached out to the folks at the arena and our folks, at the Mavs to find out what it would cost to support, financially support, people who aren’t going to be able to come to work,” Cuban said. “They get paid by the hour, and this was their source of income. And so, we’ll do some things there. We may ask them to go do some volunteer work in exchange, but we’ve already started the process of having a program in place.”
