Expected Outcomes
Measurable results our hospitality & tourism clients achieve with timesheet automation.
Pay runs processed from approved digital timesheets rather than manually interpreting paper time records.
Every shift validated against the Hospitality Award with correct penalties, loadings and overtime calculated automatically.
Venue managers see actual labour costs against revenue as each shift progresses, enabling proactive cost management.
The Challenge
Common timesheet automation challenges facing hospitality & tourism businesses.
Staff signing paper timesheets with rounded times and inconsistent recording of break periods
Hospitality Award interpretation done manually, risking costly underpayment claims and Fair Work penalties
Payroll taking hours each week to process because paper records must be collected, interpreted and entered
Labour costs only known after payroll is processed, too late to adjust rostering for the current pay period
Implementation
How we implement timesheet automation for your hospitality & tourism business.
Capture Shift Times Automatically
Staff clock in and out through POS system integration, dedicated tablet kiosks or mobile app check-in with geolocation verification. Break periods are recorded automatically based on shift duration and award requirements.
- ✓ Tools: Deputy, Tanda, POS Integration
Apply Award Conditions and Penalty Rates
Recorded shift times are processed against the Hospitality Industry (General) Award, applying correct base rates, penalty rates for weekends, public holidays and late-night shifts, overtime calculations and allowance entitlements.
- ✓ Tools: Award Interpreter, Deputy, Tanda
Validate Against Roster and Budget
Actual worked hours are compared against the published roster and labour budget. Variances such as early starts, late finishes, unrostered shifts and missed breaks are highlighted for manager review and approval.

Push to Payroll and Labour Reports
Approved timesheets flow directly to payroll with all award calculations completed. Labour cost reports show actual hours and costs against revenue and budget by venue, shift and department.
