The application for the 190-bed Hampton by Hilton hotel will be put before the planning committee before the end of January. The plans include demolishing a six-storey building on the City Point site and replacing it with the new 16-storey hotel.

 

This site has been under discussion since 2017.

 

A report to the authority states:

 

"There has been a significant evolution in the scheme since that time to address issues with scale, layout, massing, height, elevational details and the impact on adjacent occupiers," it added.

"Officers consider that a tall building on this site is only appropriate if the design approach, and in particular the articulation of the building and the choice of materials, are of the highest quality."

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 staff members. 

 

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 North West 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 WinTA.NET software, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.
