Create Construction is the construction company involved, along with Maven Capital Partners, IP Investment Management and Hilton.

 

The Create Group has developed another “Hampton by Hilton” hotel previously, in Blackpool. The Manchester site will cost £17.5m, and be located near the Northern Quarter. There will be 221. 

 

Neil Holland, director of projects at Hilton Group, said: "Today represents a significant milestone for city of Manchester and local residents as we move closer to bringing the first Hampton by Hilton hotel to the city.

 

"We are looking forward to construction completing and to welcoming visitors to the Hampton by Hilton Manchester Northern Quarter."

 

Paul Mathison, chief executive of Create Group, added: "Create Construction and Create Developments have brought to the table considerable experience in the delivery of high-volume accommodation and we are so pleased to have reached the topping out stage on this prestigious project in Manchester for Maven, IP Investment Management and Hilton."

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