Velaa Private Island Offers Salary + Allowance

Velaa Private Island introduces a coronavirus employee relief scheme to protect resort employees, who were hard hit by the outbreak. While over 11000 resort workers are being forced on unpaid leaves, Velaa is offering basic salary plus fixed allowance of $100-200 for employees currently out of the island.

Employees who are still involved in the day-to-day operations of the resort will receive full basic salary and service charge in the range of $300-500 depending on the salary. Eligible employees will also continue to receive the long service allowance.

“As we work together to manage through this challenging time with looming economic uncertainty, it is reasonable and prudent to assume that this pandemic will affect the Velaa family members in numerous ways. However, unlike other corporates in Maldives, Velaa will not let its colleagues down, and in order to provide more support for our colleagues in during these tough times, our owner has committed to a Colleagues Relief Scheme (CRS).”

Owned by Czech investor Jiri Smejc, Velaa Private Island is a luxury resort in Noonu atoll. One of the top resorts in the island nation, Velaa boasts 47 private villas, houses and exclusive residences and also includes a Romantic Pool Residence which can only be reached by boat.
