Article Abstract:

The leisure industry has difficulty in retaining its workforce due to low pay and poor working conditions. The vast difference between employees' pay levels and the remuneration received by members of the board must be reduced. Granada Group PLC board members receive 64 times more pay than the average employee. Senior executives also receive other benefits in addition to their salaries, such as bonuses and incentive payments. Many employees and shareholders are calling for executives' pay awards to more closely reflect the level of company profits.
