Smart Scheduling for Hotel and Hospitality
Payroll Solutions helps hotel elevate their bottom line with expedited scheduling and more efficient time and attendance tracking.
The Bayside Hotel and Resort is a 135-room, 5-story complex which includes a hotel, two restaurants, and a small business center. There is no “typical” day for The Bayside Hotel, and they rely on a diverse workforce to manage a wide range of guest requests at every hour of the day.
To keep an otherwise busy operation running smoothly, Bayside faces staff challenges that range from last-minute sick leave to schedule changes to unplanned overtime. With their reputation resting squarely on their ability to serve visitors with personal attention, workforce management is a main concern at Bayside. Their ultimate goal; elevate customer service without increasing labor costs.
Daunting Workforce Management Challenges
The management staff had been struggling to find an employee timekeeping and scheduling system that eliminated understaffing, could be adapted on the fly, kept all parties apprised of scheduling changes, tracked data for DOL compliance, and ensured that time cards were turned in on time to the payroll service. For Bayside, this was no easy task with so many diverse departments including hospitality, housekeeping, maintenance, and operations. In every department, managers needed trustworthy data to develop scheduling strategies that eliminated waste while maintaining an exceptional standard of service for their guests.
Bayside needed a hotel employee scheduling solution that would meet scheduling targets while offering greater flexibility for team members and less busy work for managers.
Time and Attendance Made Easy With Payroll Solutions
The Workforce Management Suite time tracking tool, TimeWorksPlus, started delivering benefits during the very first pay cycle. With mobile access built in, TimeWorksPlus allows associates to clock in/out on their mobile device wherever they are—whether they work in housekeeping, guest services, security, or maintenance. Because the PunchLogic feature significantly reduces missed and duplicate punches, time card accuracy has improved substantially.
TimeSimplicity Cleans up the Scheduling Mess
TimeSimplicity has transformed the scheduling process for Bayside managers and employees. It provides managers smart tools for manageable, hassle-free scheduling and empowers employees to take over many tasks previously done by supervisors. Bayside managers are amazed at how simple it is to develop, save, and change recurring schedules.
