The hotel and hospitality sector staff will get their minimum wages – from Rs 4,000 to Rs 10,000 depending on the grading of hotel – for the lockdown period.
Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN) and three major trade unions – active in tourism and hospitality sector – sealed the deal ending a longstanding row over the workers’ salary for the lockdown period.
Since the government imposed lockdown on March 24, the hotels have been closed. AS the staff have not been working, the hoteliers have been saying that they will get paid some 12 per cent only. But the HAN today confirmed that the agreement – applicable for the period of April 13 to December 31 by considering that the situation caused by the pandemic coronavirus infection will last till 2020 – the staff will get paid from Rs 4,000 to 10,000 per month depending on the grading of the hotels, from star deluxe hotels to non-start hotels.
The staff working in the hotels having 200 plus rooms will get Rs 10,000 per month, whereas the workers of five-star hotels with less than 200 rooms will collect Rs 9,000 per month. Likewise, the staff of four-star hotels with 100 plus rooms would be given Rs 8,455 per month and Rs 8,000 to those workers employed in the four-star hotels with less than 100 rooms. “The staff of three-star hotels and resorts will get Rs 5,000 per month,” according to a press note issued by the HAN that has organised a press meet in Kathmandu today.
