- This is a national-plus-selected-jurisdictions report, not a 50-state or destination-by-destination legal inventory. The next pass should follow the desk’s actual acquisition pipeline.
- Property-specific applicability remains untested: legal room count, measured floor area, licensed operating entity, ownership changes, collective bargaining arrangements and existing staffing contracts require documents.
- No hotel-level payroll, benefit-credit, booking-channel or capital-cost evidence was supplied. The compensation calculation is illustrative, not an estimate for a target property.
- The DOL independent-contractor and joint-employer sources reviewed remain proposal materials; recheck their regulatory dockets before any staffing restructuring.
- California privacy coverage, cybersecurity-audit thresholds and ADMT applicability require entity- and activity-specific legal analysis. This report does not determine whether a particular owner, operator or vendor is covered.
- The full licensed USALI text and individual hotel agreements were not reviewed. Detailed account mappings, contractual adoption and fee-definition effects remain to be verified.
- Additional local diligence should cover lodging taxes, reassessment, zoning and historic approvals, fire and accessibility requirements, building-emissions laws, leave rules and hotel-worker protections outside the examples selected here.
- Section 179D construction-start evidence and other tax incentives require specialist confirmation; no project-specific tax eligibility or after-tax benefit has been established.
- 4 source URL(s) in this document had restricted retrieval, minimal extractable text or no separate current recheck; source-status labels identify them. Obtain controlling documents or direct confirmation before a transaction-specific use.
