Is it illegal to work in a hotel and not let employees take the elevator?

Whether it is illegal for hotels not to let employees take elevators involves the labor laws and hotel management policies of specific countries and regions. In some special cases, such as during the epidemic, in order to ensure the safety of employees and guests, the hotel may take measures to restrict employees from using elevators, which is a management decision for safety or hygiene reasons and conforms to laws, regulations and hotel management system.

But in general, hotels should not restrict employees from using elevators for any reason, but should protect employees' labor rights and interests, including providing a safe, comfortable and healthy working environment. If the hotel violates the relevant labor laws and regulations, or infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of employees, employees can complain or report to the local labor inspection department or industry association to safeguard their own rights and interests.
