Welcome to
Shangri‐La hotel, Toronto
SHANGRI‐LA HOTELS & RESORTS ‐ History
Hong Kong‐based Shangri‐La Hotels and Resorts is Asia Pacific’s leading luxury hotel group and regarded
as one of the world's finest hotel ownership and management companies. Shangri‐La Hotels and Resorts
is the trade name of Shangri‐La Asia Limited management arm.
The Kuok Group, a diversified and dynamic business conglomerate with origins in Malaysia, has a major
equity holding in Shangri‐La Asia, which is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Established by
Robert Kuok, the group’s business operations span a range of activities and a number of countries. In
addition to hotels, the group’s portfolio also includes commodity trading, real estate, beverages,
logistics, newspaper publishing, shipping, edible oil refining and plantations.
Inspired by the legendary land featured in James Hilton’s novel Lost Horizon published in 1933, the
name Shangri‐La encapsulates the serenity and service for which Shangri‐La is renowned worldwide. The
group has three brands: Shangri‐La, Kerry and Hotel Jen hotels. Shangri‐La properties are primarily five‐
star deluxe city centre and resort hotels with the majority of the city centre hotels having over 500 guest
rooms, whereas the resort properties tend to be slightly smaller. Introduced in 1989, Traders is a mid‐
market brand of mid‐priced city centre hotels consisting of nine hotels in Beijing, Changzhou, Dubai,
Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Penang, Singapore, Shenyang and Yangon.
Shangri‐La’s tradition of service excellence started with the opening of the Shangri‐La Hotel, Singapore
in 1971. The hotel’s 15 acres of landscaped gardens, beautifully appointed guest rooms and gracious
Asian style set a new standard for hotel excellence, which to this day continues to guide the group’s
design features.
Training is Shangri‐La's top priority and significant resources are allocated annually to ensure Colleagues
have the skills and knowledge to be the best in their fields. This has earned the group international
awards and recognition from guests, prestigious magazines as well as industry partners and made
Shangri‐La one of the preferred hotel employers, with over 35,000 people serving guests with the
philosophy “Shangri‐La hospitality from a caring family.”
Hong Kong‐based Shangri‐La Hotels and Resorts currently owns and/or manages properties under the
Shangri‐La, Kerry and Hotel Jen brands. Shangri‐La hotels are five‐star deluxe properties featuring
extensive luxury facilities and services. Shangri‐La hotels are located in Australia, Canada, mainland
China, Fiji, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Maldives, Philippines, Singapore,
Sultanate of Oman, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.
The group has a substantial development pipeline with upcoming projects in Canada, mainland China,
India, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Turkey and United Kingdom.
Shangri‐La also operates its own dedicated regional sales and marketing offices: Hong Kong, Beijing,
Shanghai, Guangzhou, Singapore, Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Melbourne and Dubai.
The group is linked to 29 frequent flyer programs and has its own frequent guest recognition program –
Golden Circle. The Golden Circle program has been acknowledged as being one of the best in the
industry with over one million current members.

OUR BRAND, VISION AND CORE VALUES – “The Shangri‐La way”
SHANGRI-LA HOTEL, TORONTO – The Hotel, the Building, the Owners
The Asian-inspired hospitality of Shangri-La comes to life in Toronto. It is the first Asian-luxury hotel
brand for Canada’s largest metropolis and the second hotel in North America for the group, joining
Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver which opened in January of 2009.
Located on University Avenue - Toronto’s ceremonial boulevard - at Adelaide, the hotel sits at the
crossroads to the city’s business and entertainment districts.
Within a five-block radius of the hotel: the performance centre for the Canadian Opera Company and
the National Ballet of Canada, the headquarters for Canada’s five major banks, Consulates, leading
research hospitals, the city’s live theatre district and the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)
headquarters – making it ideally suited to serve the business, entertainment and leisure markets.
The 202-room hotel occupies the first 17 floors of the 66 storey or 214.5 meters (704 feet) building,
placing it in the top 15 of Canada’s tallest buildings. Glass attracts and reflects natural light inside and
outside the hotel, while light stone and fabrics are mixed with dark wood and Asian design motifs to
dramatic effect within public and guest room spaces with cutting-edge architectural design by renowned
local architect James K.M. Cheng.
Shangri-La hotel, Toronto is the anchor of a new project by Vancouver-based developers, Westbank and
the Peterson Group: Canada’s leading residential developers. Together, Westbank and Peterson have
developed or have under development $5 billion in projects made up of more than 1.4 million square
meters (15 million square feet) of residential, retail, office and public art and garden space.

Also part of the multi-purpose complex, known as Living Shangri-La, Toronto, Momofuku, an
independent restaurant operation by acclaimed New York chef David Chang; an independently operated
spa, Miraj Hamman Spa by Caudalie, Paris, located on the hotel’s 5th floor, adjacent to the health and
fitness centre; a hair styling salon; Soho House, a private members-club housed in the revitalized
historic red-brick Bishop’s Block, which is one of the oldest remaining buildings in Toronto; and 395
residential units which begin on the 18th floor.
Fronting the hotel’s University Avenue entrance, and complementing Toronto’s more than 200 city-
owned public art installations is a sculpture by Chinese artist, Zhang Huan, considered to be one of
China’s most influential contemporary artists. The sculpture, ‘Rising’ was commissioned by the
developers in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Ontario.

PAYROLL
Manager Payroll Responsibilities:
‐ Approve department timecards daily before 11:30AM. Should the Manager in charge of
approving payroll be away, another manager in the department should be put in charge. It is
important to approve the timecards on time to ensure colleague’s wages are processed correctly
and that there are no delays in processing payroll.
‐ Track new colleague’s probation hours. Once the colleague reaches 480 hours, complete the
CAF to indicate the colleague has passed probation and will begin receiving the full wage.
‐ Submit all approved CAFs to HR on the Thursday before pay period ending.
The Heath Labour Management System is a tool the company has invested in to help manage our labour
expenses. In order for this tool to provide useful information the actual labour from ADP must be
uploaded. This task of uploading the actual labour cannot be completed unless all time cards are
approved.
Payroll Reminders and Tips:
‐ All colleague absences (other than Stat holidays, which are automatically calculated by the
system) should be entered in ADP and must have a completed and approved CAF.
‐ No absences should be entered in ADP without having completed a corresponding CAF.
‐ "Shang Day" earnings code is used to report the absence for a Shang day for a colleague’s
anniversary. This code may also be used to record an absence for a Citizenship day with an
entry in the NOTES field advising as such.
Hourly Colleague Timecards
‐ An explanation should be entered in the NOTES field for any colleagues that have incurred
overtime.
‐ Absences that are entered in the system must be entered with an in and out time in order for
the system to calculate the absence hours.
‐ Absence hours for vacation days, Shang Day etc. must not exceed 8 hours.
Salary Colleague Timecards
‐ All salary timecards for a pay period should have 10 days entered and 4 days off unless there are
extra days worked.
‐ Any salary colleagues that work more than 5 days in the week must have the 6th and 7th day
entered with an earning code of "OTHER". An explanation must be entered in the NOTES field
with the reason for the extra day(s) worked.
‐ Any lieu days taken must be entered using the "PTO" earnings code and with an in and out
punch so that the hours and daily total equals 8. An explanation must be entered in the NOTES
field with the reason for the lieu day.
Approval of timecards on a STAT holiday
‐ ADP will automatically calculate the stat owed to all colleagues on a STAT holiday. The
calculation for the stat by ADP will appear on the colleague’s timecard as STAT HOLIDAY.
o This entry by ADP should not be modified or deleted for any active colleague as the stat
pay is calculated based on Employment Standards for the province of employment.
‐ Hourly colleagues will be paid out for the holiday when it takes place. The hours worked will be
paid out according to employment standards that are built into the ADP system.
‐ No entries should ever be made in ADP using the STAT HOLIDAY pay codes. This code is only
entered in the system by ADP when the system automatically calculates the stat pay.
All salaried colleagues that work the stat holiday must be coded as follows.
‐ The line with the in and out punch for the hours worked on the stat must be coded as
“OTHER”. In the Earnings Code field click on the search option and select OTHER. Then click on
save and calculate.
o By entering OTHER in the Earnings Code field this indicates that the colleague is owed a
lieu day for working on the stat holiday.
**NOTE: When the lieu day is taken for working on the stat it must be entered with the Earnings Code
as PTO and a note in the notes field indicating the reason for the lieu day. When a colleague takes a lieu
day for the stat it must never be entered as earning coded STAT Holiday. The STAT Holiday earning code
will only ever be used by ADP when the system performs its automatic calculation.
If the stat holiday takes place on a salaried colleague’s day off and they worked 5 days in the week, the
6th and/or 7th day in that week must be coded as OTHER in the earnings code field. On their pay
statement the colleague will be paid for the stat holiday in this pay period. By entering OTHER in the
earnings code field on the 6thand/or 7th day in the week will flag that the colleague is owed a lieu day.
When the lieu day is taken it must be coded as PTO with a note in the notes field indicating the reason
for the lieu day.

Performance Improvement Notice (PIN)
‐Guide‐
Part of the Performance Improvement Notice (PIN) program is to ensure a
colleague is given every reasonable opportunity to positively respond to
performance problems that may arise in the workplace. The appropriate response
to a problem is guided by your common sense and discretion; however generally,
the process should start with a verbal discussion to ensure the colleague is aware
of expectations.
General guideline of issuing a PIN:
1. Identify the performance issues/concern.
2. Conduct a verbal discussion with the colleague – who, what, where, when,
why. Show compassion and understanding, the colleague should not feel
threatened. The purpose of the discussion is to understand the cause/root
of the problem.
3. Advise the colleague that due to the nature of the performance issue (ex.

RECOGNITION – Customer Delight Program
What is Customer Delight Program (CDP)?
The Customer Delight Program is a colleague recognition program that shows appreciation and awards
colleagues who go the “extra mile” in order to delight our guests.
How does the program work?
Colleagues receive stars when they go above and beyond for our guests and fellow colleagues. There are
several ways colleagues can earn stars.
RECOGNITION – Customer Delight Program
There are three levels of recognition – Silver, Gold and Diamond. Stars must be collected in order to
move up the different levels and to redeem for rewards. The goal of every colleague should be to
become a Diamond Star. Every Diamond Star is a true role model of service excellence who exemplifies
the core values and creates engaging experiences straight from the heart to delight our guests. At the
end of the year, the top 5 Diamond Star colleagues will be entered into a draw to win a very special
prize!
What do you do with the stars?
The program runs throughout the whole calendar year and starts afresh every January. Colleagues may
redeem their stars for rewards in Human Resources every July 1st and/or January 31st. All stars earned
must be redeemed by January 31st of the following year. Stars not redeemed by this date will be
forfeited.
Star Reward Items

HEALTH & SAFETY
Everyone in the workplace, from the employer to the newest worker, has different but important duties
to keep the workplace safe. Because employers have the most authority in the workplace, they have the
greatest responsibility for health and safety. Supervisors are next in line. Since supervisors’ jobs involve
taking direction from the employer and giving direction to the people they supervise, it’s important that
YOU understand the health and safety responsibilities of everyone in the workplace.
As a supervisor, you are a crucial part of your workplace’s Internal Responsibility System. This is a very
important concept for workplace health and safety.
The number of people in Ontario who suffer a work‐related illness or injury each year would fill the seats
of a dozen big hockey arenas. New and young workers in Ontario are four times more likely to get hurt
during the first month on the job than at any other time. They often aren’t told about or understand the
hazards of the job. They don’t know what to expect from their employer and supervisor. Sometimes
they aren’t sure what questions to ask; sometimes they don’t even know who to ask. That’s where you
come in. It’s a big challenge, but it’s also a big opportunity to make a difference.
Employers must:
Make sure workers know about hazards and dangers by providing information, instruction and
supervision on how to work safely
Make sure supervisors know what is required to protect workers’ health and safety on the job
Create workplace health and safety policies and procedures
Make sure everyone follows the law and the workplace health and safety policies and
procedures
Make sure workers wear and use the right protective equipment
Do everything reasonable in the circumstances to protect workers from being hurt or getting a
work‐related illness.
Supervisors must:
Tell workers about hazards and dangers, and respond to their concerns
Show workers how to work safely, and make sure they follow the law and workplace health and
safety policies and procedures
Make sure workers wear and use the right protective equipment
Do everything reasonable in the circumstances to protect workers from being hurt or getting a
work‐related illness.
Workers must:
Follow the law and workplace health and safety policies and procedures
Wear and use the protective equipment required by their employer
Work and act in a way that won’t hurt themselves or anyone else
Report any hazards or injuries to their supervisor

Workplace Safety & Insurance Board
Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 – Ontario law
which was created to:
Promote safe and healthy workplaces
Help workers who are injured or ill at work return to work quickly
and safely
Provide compensation benefits (money to replace lost wages) while
they are off work
Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) provides
insurance in case of injuries
Makes all employers who operate in Ontario pay premiums for this
insurance
Premiums increase when a colleague misses work due to an
injury (lost days) = $$$
Workers who receive compensation benefits cannot sue their
employer for losses related to the injury

2018‐05‐17
Safe Work Practices / Environment
• It is the responsibility of every Supervisor to ensure that all
colleagues work in a safe environment and practice safe work
practices
• How can this be accomplished?
Training (use of materials, tools etc..)
Ensuring colleagues have the tools to complete the job. (Inspect the
tools to ensure they work)
Reviewing MSDS
Wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (safety glasses, dust
masks)
Reporting all deficiencies immediately
Monitoring colleagues and correcting any unsafe work practices.
(safe lifting, use of tools without guards)
Advising colleagues to report all injuries, no matter how minor, to
their supervisor and security immediately
Reporting All Injuries to Security
It is very critical that all injuries are reported to security, no matter
how minor they are
Security will:
Assess the injury
Provide first aid, if required
Document the injury
Issue Dear Colleague/Doctor letter
Inform management
This is very vital as the hotel is obligated to report injuries to WSIB
within 72 hours (this is completed by Human Resources)

She is in a lot of pain and cannot put any pressure on her foot.
Supervisor Responsibilities:
1. Bring Beyoncé to the Security Office to report the injury
Not reporting the injury immediately can result in the injury escalating
If the injury is deemed minor or no medical attention is required the colleague
may return to regular duties
2. Arrange for transportation, if medical attention is required
If the injury is serious and the colleague is in a lot of pain (i.e. broken foot), a
supervisor must accompany the colleague to the doctor/emergency (i.e. GM, HR,
Department Leader/Manager)
Option 1 is the house car. If the house car is not available, arrange for a taxi
