Please see the Pay Practice during Natural Disasters and Club Closures for guidance on when Teammates are eligible for pay during club closures. If your club was closed for more than 48 hours but less than 14 days, hourly Teammates are eligible to receive pay for the hours they were scheduled but unable to work during the club closure.
