Pontins workers laid off last week say Britannia Hotels has taken them back on - and the UK Government will pay 80% of their wages.
Last week staff at Pontins in Prestatyn were ordered off the site as the camp and other Pontins sites went into lockdown amid the coronavirus crisis.
They left with either no pay-off or a paltry £29 a day for five days.
But now a worker has confirmed they have been taken on under the Job Retention Scheme announced by chancellor Rishi Sunak on Friday.
This sees the UK Government paying 80% of the salary of workers who have been put on leave due to coronavirus.
A source said all permanent Pontins staff would receive it but that they worried about what would happen to those on zero-hours contracts. They added that Britannia - which owns the Pontins group - had not taken up the option of paying the remaining 20% of their salary.
It is now known at this stage whether all permanent Britannia Hotels staff have also been re-hired under the scheme. Britannia has been asked to comment.
A worker said: "It's great news because it means people will be able to get by.
"I think the pressure put on them was enough for them to change how the staff are treated.
"But I hope the zero hour staff will get a reasonable amount and not 80% of nothing, we will have to see how it works for them."
Vale of Clwyd MP James Davies said: "I am very pleased to learn that Britannia Hotels has listened and is now doing the obvious and decent thing for its staff.
"By making use of the Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, its employees will now receive at least 80% of their salary while unable to work at Pontin's.
"I am now intending to work with MPs representing other Pontins sites in the UK to ensure the company improves its operations in the future."
