"My mother is a hotel employee."

Translation: Ibu saya pegawai hotel.

What is the difference between “pegawai” and “pekerja”?

[enigmajf]

"pegawai" is a person who works for government or a company specifically in an office.
"pekerja" is more general, it's basically a person who works. so employee by definition can be categorised as both pegawai and pekerja.
But for example a laborer is a "pekerja" (preferably called "buruh"), but it can't be called "pegawai"

Is "Ibu saya adalah seorang pegawai hotel" acceptable?

[Raekima]

That's a correct translation too.

I said " ibu saya adalah pegawai yang hotel" how is this sentence wrong and why does yang not need to be used here?

[Mario_Fez]

"Yang" means "which is" or "that is"

You wrote something like "My mother is an employee that is hotel"
