Because unless there’s a “pandemic clause” in the contract, owners have to pay as long as the seasons actually happen. You can’t sign someone to a contract and just not pay them because you aren’t making as much $ as you used to. The owners take the risk of losing $, not the employee. Just like any other business.
force majeure - is a contract provision that relieves the parties from performing their contractual obligations when certain circumstances beyond their control arise, making performance inadvisable, commercially impracticable, illegal, or impossible.
I have never seen a contract of any significance which didn't include a force majeure clause. Global pandemic would certainly qualify.
