Our HR & Workforce Management module – powered by Rotaready Evo, also takes care of your time and attendance monitoring, capturing actual start and finish times through clock-in and clock-out. This ensures the hours you see, report on and pass through to payroll reflect what was worked, not just what was planned on the rota. 

How accurate time tracking supports Employment Rights Act and Working Time compliance 

Under the Employment Rights Act and existing Working Time Regulations, compliance is based on hours worked, not scheduled shifts. Rotaready Evo captures accurate clock‑in and clock‑out times, automatically trims or rounds them in line with your rules and applies configured rest‑break policies, while retaining the raw data so actual working time and breaks are clearly recorded. These detailed attendance records give you a consistent evidence base to support decisions around guaranteed hours, rest periods and pay, and to demonstrate how hours were worked if your records are ever reviewed.  

Under the Employment Rights Act and related reforms, more workers will qualify for statutory sick pay, parental and bereavement leave, often from day one. That places greater pressure on payroll accuracy, particularly in hospitality where variable hours and absences are common. 

Supporting day-one pay and leave through connected payroll 

With hospitality-specific payroll as part of the Hospitality People Suite, signed-off hours and absence records from the HR and Workforce Management module flow directly into Payroll. This ensures Statutory Sick Pay and other entitlements are calculated correctly for every eligible absence, even where staff work irregular hours, helping you honour new day‑one rights, avoid under‑ or over‑payments and reduce the risk of back‑pay claims or disputes. 

The Employment Rights Act arrives alongside tougher expectations that employers take “reasonable steps” to prevent harassment and ensure fair treatment, particularly in high-risk, customer-facing sectors like hospitality. 

Proving reasonable steps through training 

With a hospitality‑focused learning management module and a library of compliance eLearning, Hospitality People Suite lets you roll out targeted training on topics such as legal responsibilities, workplace conduct and core HR policies, then track completions and refreshers so you can evidence that managers and teams were actually trained – not just sent a handbook.  

You can also embed key Employment Rights Act themes into onboarding, so new starters and new managers understand your standards on fair scheduling, notice and absence processes from their first shift.
