Hospitality pay - back to the future?

Article Abstract:

A 1996 UK survey of pay reviews at 51 hotels and restaurants indicated a 3% median increase, a .1% increase over 1995, as 60% of the awards were higher than the previous year. Some employers moved towards competency-based and profit-related pay, but the hospitality industry generally continued to rely on traditional rates and raises. At the high end of the range, 25% of the increases were 3.75% or more, while at the low end, 25% were for 3% or less. The Sheraton Park Tower Hotel's 4.25% increase was the highest settlement.

Watch the minimum

Article Abstract:

A 1996-1997 UK survey on wages in the hospitality industry indicated an overall wage increase averaging 3%, as many employers awaited the enactment of a national minimum wage. Although most pay settlements exceeded inflation, many employers expected pay awards to decline later in 1997, and a significant number of agreements were less than the year before. Pay flexibility and the shortage of skilled labor were cited as major issues.
