According to the DIR, some of the workers of the Palos Verdes based Terranea Resort were not timely offered jobs. Furthermore, many others did not receive any job offers once the resort was re-opened as required by the “Right to Recall law”. The DIR said, “The $1.52 million payment comes from a settlement reached in May with Terranea Resort after it was cited on March 2, 2022 for failing to comply with the law after the resort re-opened for business in 2021.”
