§ 62-206. Requirement to provide safety button or notification device to certain employees.
Each hotel or hostel employer shall:
(a)
Provide a safety button or notification device to each hotel or hostel employee that is a room attendant, housekeeping attendant, minibar attendant, or room service server. An employee may use the safety button or notification device if the employee reasonably believes there is an ongoing crime, harassment, or other emergency in the employee's presence. It is recognized that because of the varying size and physical layout of each hotel, different devices may be appropriate for different hotels. Safety buttons and notification devices shall be provided by the hotel or hostel employer at no cost to the employee.
(b)
Submit an affidavit, on a form prescribed by the city, with the annual renewal of the hotel's or hostel's city business tax receipt, stating that the hotel or hostel employer is in compliance with sections 62-206(a) and 62-207.
(c)
The provisions in subsections 62-206(a) and (b) shall take effect August 1, 2019.
