Paycheck Protection Program funds never reached these hospitality workers A hospitality workers’ union says Pittsburgh’s landmark Omni William Penn Hotel improperly used a federal pandemic-relief program meant to keep workers on the payroll. The luxury Downtown hotel shut down in March, after the coronavirus pandemic struck, crippling the hospitality industry. The William Penn applied for a $3.56 million loan from the federal Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, through Affiliated Bank. PPP loans were meant to cover payrolls for up to eight weeks. They can be forgiven if 60% of the money goes toward payroll. The William Penn said it would use the funds to retain 365 jobs. The Small Business Administration approved its loan April 5, according to federal documents.
