Service charge please!

Service Charge distribution is always a tricky business in most resorts. While none of the resorts seems to be able to give away whatever is received as service charge to staff on an equitable basis, most of the new hotels and new managements seems to have overcome this problem and are giving significant amounts of money with the salaries each month.
Traditionally resorts treat service charge as a part of their revenue but with new labor laws makes it quite clear that its money which shall be distributed equally among staff. Some resorts such as Hulhule Island Hotel employs elaborate schemes to grade staff according to the years of service and performance and weigh service charge distribution according to that grading which is all but illegal now.

Here is some info we came across and would like to share with all our friends in resort life. The list is service charge amounts given to the staff in various resorts in dollars and is sorted with the resorts which gives most service charge at the top. If the resort you are working is not listed and you would like to share the figures with us please drop us comment.
