5.8. Working conditions
In order to address issues associated with working conditions in the hotel and
restaurant industry, in 1991 the ILO established a sector-specific convention. 73 This
instrument and its associated recommendation 74 are geared towards issues such as working
time, regular remuneration, and the promotion of training schemes in cooperation with
employers’ and workers’ organizations.
International hotel chains regularly review their employment conditions to make sure
that they are competitive in the market. Most hotel chains offer a comprehensive benefits
package that includes a range of rewards – these are usually detailed on their careers page
on the corporate website.
