Hotel development in Brighton greenlit

The Queen’s Hotel, a prominent Brighton seafront hotel, has just had development plans greenlit.

The historic building will be extended with eleven extra bedrooms using space from a nearby Pitcher and Piano pub. It currently stretches across four floors in various buildings, some of which are listed. The Pitcher and Piano under development is grade II listed.

The scheme has been given the go-ahead by Brighton & Hove City Council planners.

It is vital for hotels to have an accurate record of who is in the building, since not only do they have guests coming and going constantly but they also have cleaning staff, maintenance staff, kitchen staff, bar staff, and many other employees.

Since many of these staff members will be temporary agency staff, they are likely to still rely on old-fashioned paper timesheet to record their weekly hours.

Getting employees to retrospectively record their hours worked directly onto paper is not only open to fraud and mistakes, it also makes room for human error further up the chain.

Managers have to collect and approve all the timesheets. A study by BrightHR has shown that this can take more than 15 minutes per employee. Those numbers quickly mount up!

Thankfully there’s an easy solution. A workforce management system from Time and Attendance South East would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably.

Managers would no longer need to approve every single timesheet every single week or month, and accounts staff would no longer need to laboriously type up the timesheets to enter them into the payroll system.

All the staff would need to do is clock in and out using one of our terminals, with either a smartcard or a biometric measurement (fingers or hands). This data is collected in our .NET software, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.
