Several employees at the Holiday Island Resort have not been paid three months worth of service charges, Ramadan bonuses, and last year’s travel allowance.
“We did receive salaries after August for a while, but it has stopped again now,” an employee told The Maldives Independent on the condition of anonymity.
The Employment Act mandates resorts to distribute income from service charge to employees after deducting no more than one percent for administrative fees. Employees are also entitled to one-third of their monthly salary as a Ramadan bonus before the beginning of the fasting month.
The resort’s management as well as senior officials at Villa Hotels were unavailable for comment.
