The development company S Harrison was pleased to announce that work had finished on the 127-bed, five-storey hotel ahead of schedule and within budget. The York-based company then sold the building to the City of Lincoln Council for £13m, and it will be operated by Travelodge on a 25-year lease. 

 

Andrew Wharton, from S Harrison, said: "This hotel is an exceptional and high-quality building that has completed two weeks ahead of schedule thanks to our close working relationship with R G Carter.

 

"It’s located in a bustling part of the city and the top floors offer great views of Lincoln Cathedral, so there’s no doubt it will be a welcome addition to Lincoln’s supply of hotel rooms that will be popular with both tourists and business travellers alike.

 

"It’s a great addition to S Harrison’s already impressive portfolio of hotel projects, having completed five new hotels in recent years for Malmaison Hotel du Vin Group, Hilton Hotels and Premier Inn, but this is our first in Lincoln."

The hotel industry often employs a diverse mix of casual, temporary, agency, part time and full-time permanent staff, in order to staff the hotel around the clock. If there was ever an industry which suffers from still using paper timesheets to record working hours, it is this one.

 

Keeping track of shifts, especially on night shifts or other times when the manager isn’t around, is very difficult with high volumes of staff and timesheets. Employees regularly forget to hand in their timesheets, and agency staff hand it straight to their agencies meaning that sometimes the employer never even sees it to approve it. 

 

Purchasing a workplace management system from Time and Attendance Wales will solve these authorisation issues. If staff have to clock in at the clocking terminal before entering and leaving, there will no longer be any ambiguity about working hours and no need to sort through hundreds of timesheets at the end of the week or month. 

 

Here at Time and Attendance Midlands we can offer two ways to clock in with our reliable clocking terminal: using a radio frequency “smart-card” or by using fingerprint biometrics.
