Yes. There are several labor management and timekeeping solutions that are commonly used in hotels specifically to reduce labor inefficiencies, improve scheduling, and control overtime and missed punches. A few notable categories and vendors:

Hotel-focused labor management/timekeeping tools

  • UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group)
    Widely used in hospitality for timekeeping, scheduling, labor forecasting, and compliance. Strong for reducing overtime and matching staffing to demand.

  • Infor Workforce Management / Infor HMS integrations
    Often used in hotels and resorts. Helps with scheduling, labor forecasting, and tracking labor costs against occupancy or demand patterns.

  • ADP Workforce Now / ADP Time & Attendance
    More general-purpose, but used by many hospitality operators for timekeeping, labor compliance, and scheduling.

  • Dayforce by Ceridian
    Strong workforce management platform with scheduling, labor optimization, and time tracking. Good for properties with complex labor rules.

  • HotSchedules More common in restaurants, but also used in hospitality operations. Strong for scheduling, shift swapping, and labor control.

  • ClockShark / Deputy / When I Work Easier-to-deploy labor tracking and scheduling tools, often used by smaller hotel groups or individual properties.

Hotel-specific operational platforms with labor controls

Some hotel operations systems include labor optimization modules or integrate with timekeeping tools:

  • Actabl (formerly Hotel Effectiveness / ALICE-related products)
    Well known in hotel labor analytics, budgeting, and productivity benchmarking.
  • Workday
    Used more by larger hotel chains for enterprise workforce management and HR/timekeeping.

What these systems help reduce

These tools are typically aimed at reducing:

  • Overstaffing during low-demand periods
  • Overtime costs
  • Unplanned labor variance
  • Time theft / buddy punching
  • Manual scheduling inefficiencies
  • Compliance risks

Hotel-specific features to look for

If your goal is reducing inefficiencies in hotels, look for:

  • Occupancy-based forecasting
  • Department-level labor budgets
  • Integration with PMS and payroll
  • Mobile clock-in/out
  • Overtime alerts
  • Task-based labor planning
  • Benchmarking against similar properties
  • Multi-property reporting
