Quantity
-
Depending on hotel size, a property may have hundreds (or thousands) of employees. Calculating accurate payroll for a large number of employees would be practically impossible without the help of an automated system.
Positions
-
Hotels employ a variety of team members for many job functions, including housekeeping, culinary, food service, maintenance and administrative roles. Employees often work multiple positions based on scheduling needs, and payroll software records the hours worked under each job code to ensure accurate paychecks.
-
Shifts
-
Hotels operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Employees are needed around the clock to keep the property running. Payroll systems monitor the various shifts worked, including any overtime if accumulated.
Wages
-
Many hotel positions are paid gratuities or tips in addition to an hourly rate. Payroll systems track claimed tips and ensure that a tipped employee is claiming the federally required total amount of their earnings.
Manual Adjustments
-
Each hotel employs a paymaster, whose responsibility it is to monitor the payroll system and make manual adjustments when necessary.
