A hotel operator must provide a human trafficking recognition training in accordance with section 205 of the general business law to core employees. A hotel operator must provide human trafficking recognition training to a new core employee within 60 days of employment. c. Except for hotel owners of small hotels, contracting to any third parties for core employees, including staffing agencies or other contractors or subcontractors, is not permitted except that a hotel owner may retain a single hotel operator to manage all hotel operations involving core employees at a hotel on the hotel owner’s behalf, which includes employment of core employees of the hotel by the hotel operator.
