Hotel Directors Meeting March 2020

Quorn Grange Hotel staff pay structure.

Historically decisions about rates of pay and salary increases have generally been made by Tim Marshall, the Hotel’s General Manager, using his professional judgement, in agreement with the Directors. With the absence of a robust pay structure in the past, the Hotel’s wage decisions have sometimes been ad-hoc, with no clear underpinning principles. The Directors have requested that this is addressed with the production of a transparent pay structure. The introduction of a new National Minimum Wage (NMW) from 1 st April 2020 by the Government and a decision by the Directors provides an opportunity to address the issue. The 2019 NMW is shown in the table below and the new NMW has recently been announced for 2020 by the Government. To conform with the recommendations the new rates that will need to be introduced on the payments in that period (pay from 1st April 2020).

The attached spreadsheet shows the current pay rates for staff and various anomalies, which need to be addressed. The increase in some people’s wages should have no impact on the proposed budget for 2020. The structure and levels of pay contained in the document will be reviewed and re-issued in November 2020, to coincide with the production of the draft budget for 2021.

Introduction.

Pay structures offer a framework for wage progression and often encourage appropriate workplace behaviours and performance, a clear pay progression model describes how employees are able to increase their pay either inside or outside a pay structure. The document explores a suggested pay structure and includes commonly used models including broadbanding and job families, pay spines and ranges. It also examines the impact of pay structures on an employee’s ability to progress through pay bands and achieve career progression.

There are currently five broad bands of roles at Quorn Grange Hotel, these are;
