Abstract
In this empirical study, the authors made an attempt to examine the challenges faced by the human resource managers and
employees as well as the benefits extended to the employees in the non-star hotel segment in the city of Kolkata It was also endeavoured to ascertain the standards maintained by these hotels specifically the hygiene, safety, work environment and to mandatory legal and regulatory compliances. The results show that while these hotels were profitable and enjoyed a healthy market, the human resource practices were unhealthy and discriminatory in nature. Employees were neither provided with minimum wages and benefits nor have the establishments shown any interest in adhering to the mandatory compliances. This could largely be attributed to predominance of largely unskilled or inadequately qualified employees and a large pool of outsourced manpower.
