The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City will distribute 3,000 ShopRite gift cards valued at $100 each to many of its employees, showing their continued commitment through the very difficult times. Those eligible for the gift card include all salary and hourly employees, as well as personnel who work on-call shifts and earn less than $50,000. Joe Lupo, president of Hard Rock, knows how difficult it’s been for employees, many of whom are still struggling to get unemployment benefits.
