Frequently Asked Questions
How does shift scheduling work for 24/7 hotel operations?
The scheduling module supports rotating shifts, fixed shifts, and split shifts across all departments. For round-the-clock operations like front desk and security you configure morning, afternoon, and night shifts. The system tracks staffing per shift, flags coverage gaps, and alerts supervisors when a shift is understaffed.
Can staff clock in from different locations around the hotel?
Yes. Attendance is recorded through a browser on any device, a shared kiosk at each department entrance, or RFID card readers if integrated. Each clock-in records the time, device, and location. Late arrivals, early departures, and absences are flagged automatically for the supervisor.
How is overtime calculated for hospitality workers?
Overtime rules are configured per employment contract and follow local labour regulations. Hours beyond the daily or weekly threshold are flagged as overtime and paid at the configured multiplier — typically 1.5 times or double time. The system calculates overtime from attendance data and includes it on the payslip with a full breakdown.
What leave types can be configured for hotel staff?
Leave types are fully configurable: annual leave, sick leave, emergency leave, public holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leave, and unpaid leave. Each type has its own accrual rules, maximum carry-over, and approval workflow. Managers approve or reject requests online and approved leave blocks automatically on the schedule.
How does payroll handle staff who work on public holidays?
Public holidays are entered in the system calendar. When an employee works on a public holiday the system identifies this from attendance data and applies the correct pay rate — typically double or two-and-a-half times the normal rate. Holiday work appears as a separate payslip line for transparency and compliance.
Can employees view their own payslips and leave balances?
Yes. Through the self-service portal each employee views current and past payslips, checks remaining leave balances, submits leave requests, and reviews their attendance record. This reduces HR administration and gives staff full pay transparency without visiting the HR office.
How do we manage contracts for part-time, casual, and full-time staff?
Each contract type has its own working hours, salary structure, leave entitlements, and payroll rules. Part-time contracts calculate pro-rata entitlements automatically. Casual staff are paid on hours worked. Contract expiry dates trigger renewal alerts to HR managers so no one is left on an expired contract.
What compliance documents are tracked in the employee profile?
Each profile stores employment contracts, ID copies, work permits and visas, food handler certificates, first aid certifications, and other HR documents. Expiry dates are tracked and the system sends renewal alerts to HR when a work permit or certification approaches its expiry date.
