Cadena helps hotels and resorts transform their core workforce processes — including staff onboarding, rostering, and payroll management — to drive compliance and maximize productivity, freeing them up to focus entirely on crafting great guest experiences.
Managing time and attendance in large hotels is complex because 24/7 operations demand intricate, high-volume schedules, including split and midnight shifts. Operators constantly struggle to handle frequent roster changes and ensure the accurate, compliant calculation of various overtime rules, which poses a major administrative and legal risk.
Cadena’s time attendance module resolves this with a robust rostering tool that integrates seamlessly with attendance devices for real-time validation against planned schedules. The system automatically performs complex computations of all attendance parameters, delivering clean, pre-calculated data straight into our payroll module.
Managers use Cadena to instantly review, approve, and correct timecard exceptions. The platform flags issues in near real-time - from a missed punch to unapproved overtime - providing intuitive workflows for rapid resolution.
Cadena ensures flexible compensation by allowing HR users to designate, at the point of overtime assignment, whether the hours will be paid out in cash or converted into compensatory leave.
Recognizing that casual laborers are a staple of hotel operations, Cadena provides HR with the necessary control to set up distinct attendance policies and separate payroll computation rules for every employee segment, including full-time and casual staff.
The system allows HR to define unique Service Charge distribution rules for each employee type (e.g., permanent vs. casual labor) and set variable percentages (e.g., 100% for active staff, 50% for probationary).
By directly linking to employee and timesheet data, Cadena automatically pulls parameters like working days and paid leave, ensuring accurate, policy-based calculation and distribution
We help hotels mitigate significant legal risk by automating the application of country-specific rules, from calculating mandated overtime rates to tracking and enforcing maximum allowable overtime hours.
By ensuring all rules are consistently applied across your workforce, our platform actively protects your business from costly compliance errors.
