The general counsel for Caesars Entertainment Corp. told the Nevada Gaming Commission yesterday that the casino company was going through a “painstaking” process to determine how its bankrupt division can restore lost retirement and deferred compensation payments to current and former employees, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported today. Caesars halted some $78.6 million in monthly payments in January when it filed for chapter 11 protection for its largest operating unit. This month, the company resumed payments to workers in two of five deferred compensation plans when it was determined the parent company was partially liable for those funds.
