Attendance management
Shift scheduling and team rotations: a practical method
Fixed, flexible, split and night shifts, three-shift rotations, minimum staffing and weekly rest: building a schedule that keeps attendance figures right.
Hotels and riads
Hotel staff attendance: 24/7 front desk, split shifts, housekeeping
A hotel combines very different rhythms: front desk on three rotating shifts, restaurant on split shifts, housekeeping six days out of seven, night security on 12-hour shifts. Tempo’s demonstration company is precisely a fictitious hotel and spa with 36 employees: all these cases are in it.
A schedule per department
Each department gets its own cycle: a three-shift rotation at the front desk, a split day in the restaurant (two services with an unpaid break), a six-day week in housekeeping, 12-hour shifts for security. The dashboard shows, shift by shift, how many people are present against the planned staffing.
Each manager sees their team
The front-office manager, head chef or head housekeeper can be given a supervisor role limited to their department: they see and review their teams, without access to other departments or to personal information. HR keeps the overall view and the final approval.
High season and temporary staff
- Hire and contract end dates bound the calculation: no absence counted before arrival or after departure
- Excel import lets you add a seasonal team quickly
- The leave calendar helps avoid simultaneous departures in high season
- At the end of the contract, the employee is archived (history kept) and can be removed from the terminals
Public holidays and rest days worked
Teams that keep the service running on public holidays have a cycle marked “works on public holidays”. Work on a public holiday or a rest day is identified in reports, so payroll can apply your rules.
Frequently asked questions
Can reception enter a punch?
Yes, if you give it that right: the reception role can add today’s punches (forgotten punch, lost badge) with a reason. Past days remain reserved for HR and management.
Do I need a terminal per building?
Not necessarily. Several terminals can be connected to the same PC, provided they are on the same local network. We study the layout with you.
