More than 200 Crerar Hotel employees are set to benefit from a pay out of £150,000 following the introduction of the group’s newly revised ‘Fair Fund’.
The payment, which is quarterly, means that associates who are now on or above Minimum Living wage will receive regular payments to top up their wages.
The funds were collected when the group introduced an optional 10% service charge at each of its properties.
Hotel team members stand to earn approximately £1,000 on top of their annual salaries, with their Fair Fund payment being proportionate to the number of hours worked during the last three-months.
For some chefs, this amounted to a £2,000 top up for three months of excellent service.
Chris Wayne-Wills, CEO of Crerar Hotels, said: “All of our team members work incredibly hard to deliver first-class, authentic Scottish hospitality, so we wanted to give guests a simple way to reward this that would result in a completely fair, transparent structure.
“We’ve made the system completely transparent so all team members can see who has earned what in each quarter and absolutely every penny contributed by guests is given to our deserving employees.”
