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.

✓ Tools: Deputy, Venue Manager, Budget Tracker

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.

✓ Tools: Xero Payroll, KeyPay, Power BI
