TRAVEL AND TOURISM
1.Equal pay act- The act says that everyone should be given the same pay
working at same level. The employees should be rewarded on their
capabilities and on any other basis. It is an important act as it promotes
equality in the organization. Also if discrimination is done in the employees
it has its effect on their performance. If the employees are not providing with
equal pay scale this effects their attitude towards the work and they do not
perform with their total efforts. This is the result of the feeling that even if
they perform good they will not be getting any appraisals. Therefore, the act
of equal pay protects the employees from being exploited from their
managers.
Race discrimination- It is the discrimination done on the basis of race,
color and national origin. It is not allowed to treat people differently on
this basis as profession has nothing to do with these factors also it brings
the feeling of inferiority among the people which affects their morale and
self-confidence also.
