USD figures are per employee for the compiled month. Compiled from publicly reported figures (Resort Workers Maldives, Corporate Maldives, Hotelier Maldives). Service-charge data is not published by the Ministry of Tourism — it is reported voluntarily by employees, so coverage varies month to month.
Under the Employment Act and Tourism Act, businesses in the tourism sector add a 10% service charge on services. It is collected by the property and is separate from the 16% GST and the green tax.
The charge must be distributed among employees each month, before the end of the following month. Administrative deductions are allowed but capped at 1% of the amount collected.
The total pool is divided across staff based on days worked. A property with a large pool but many employees can rank lower per head than a smaller, high-rate resort.
The Labour Relations Authority oversees compliance. Failing to distribute the charge can draw fines reaching MVR 500,000, and discriminating between employees in distribution is unlawful.
