The difference in bonus pay:

  • The bonus pay gap is due to the limited bonus-based pay structure that we operate as a group. The vast majority of our team is remunerated as a salary and not on a bonus basis. We have four group-wide schemes, which are:

    • A General Manager's bonus scheme based purely on measured property performance annually. 

    • A Head of Department bonus scheme based purely on measured property performance annually.

    • Spa product sales incentive

    • Various incentives for the meeting of sales and service targets.

    • Energy Champion Bonus.

    • All of these schemes are available and measured equally to all in these employee groups.
