As a growing hospitality business with over 800 employees, accurate financial reporting is essential, we currently find existing RotaReady reporting presents limitations. We feel the suggestions below will greatly enhance the customer experience and boost value. Current reporting requires manual manipulation to get the data needed, and is not only time consuming, but prone to human error.
1. Enhanced Holiday Accrual Reporting:
• Show holiday allowance in days/hours and cash value.
• Include detailed balances: accrued, taken, remaining, and associated on-costs (e.g., NI, pension).
• Allow customisable date reporting to ensure the data relates to the business financial periods.
2. Payroll Cost Reporting by Custom Dates:
• Enable labour cost reports to run with custom dates, this will support businesses with calendar month periods.
The labour cost report currently appears to only give accurate data (on costs) if run in full weeks, but this isn’t practical for businesses running on calendar months. The risk being we undercook the accrual at month end.
This will help provide a breakdown of gross wages and associated on-costs, to fit any businesses financial period accurately.
3. Agency Labour Tracking by Department:
• Introduce a specific report for tracking outsourced (agency) workers.
• Include key data points:
• Department and dates of shifts.
• Worker name, rate, and total cost.
• Eliminate the need to review individual rotas, which is inefficient for businesses with large databases (e.g., 30+ labor streams). The suggested alternative to create a labour stream for outsourced workers does not give a departmental breakdown.
