Hotels, inns and event venues run around the clock with several departments that share staff. EZTime lets you schedule by department and role, build recurring shifts and fill gaps with AI automatic scheduling. Staff see their shifts in the mobile app, request swaps and time off, and clock in at a tablet kiosk, by NFC tag or QR code at the staff entrance, or from their phone. Managers see who is working now, get overtime alerts before 40 hours and review every hour before payroll.
Room attendants clock in at the kiosk by the staff entrance. The supervisor sees who has arrived.
She requests a swap in the app, a coworker accepts and the manager approves.
The manager adds one-time banquet shifts and assigns available staff from several departments.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt hotel employees earn overtime for hours over 40 in a workweek. If you take a tip credit for tipped roles such as bartenders or servers, the tipped and non-tipped hours need to be tracked separately; read our guide to time tracking for tipped employees. Some cities have fair workweek laws; see our overview of predictive scheduling laws. This is general information, not legal advice.
