To All Members,

Sub: IATO 2nd Webinar - Employer & Employee Relationship in light of Covid -19 and Lockdown and how to move forward” at 5 PM on Tuesday, the 12th May 2020

Dear Members,

IATO organised a webinar on the 30th April 2020 for the members on the subject “Employer & Employee Relationship in light of Covid -19 and Lockdown and how to move forward”.

During the webinar, members expressed their difficulties being faced by them due to Covid-19 as there is zero business, zero billing and zero cash flow and they do not know when tourism is going to revive.

Due to the above, IATO Members/Tour operators are facing lot of problems for survival and paying salaries to their staff and meet the office expenses.

During the webinar members sought IATO’s guidance on HR Policy matters especially on the following issues and requested if IATO can help them in providing the draft letters through HR experts:-

1.Salary deduction

2.Previlede Leave adjustment

3.Long leave without pay

4.No work no pay

5.Pay as per no of days (20 days’ pay per month)

6.Retrenchment due to COVID-19

 

Accordingly IATO approached Mr. Sanjay Lakhotia, CEO  Think Noble House, an HR company to give us the above draft letters and also to be the speaker and interact with our members during the webinar to be organised by IATO.

  • We have received the attached draft letters from Think Noble House for your information.
