Why Do you Need Specialized Payroll for Restaurants?
Workforce PayHub offers customized payroll processing, time management solutions, and HR services tailored to the restaurant sector's unique challenges. These include:
Time Management
When your employees use a paper-based or disjointed digital approach to logging hours, it can cause major delays and inaccuracies during the payroll process, leading to late or inaccurate payments, employee turnover, or noncompliance penalties. Additionally, a growing number of employees expect greater transparency, including 24-7 access to an employee self-service portal that lets them track time, update personal information, and access other HR services.
Managing Tips and Overtime
Whether tips are kept by individual employees or shared by staff, it’s essential to accurately calculate each employee’s taxable income, track tips for workers with multiple roles, address varied pay rates, and align with local and state regulations regarding minimum wage, the use of tip credits, overtime tracking, and meal & rest breaks.
Adhering to Labor Regulations
Given the diverse range of employee classifications, schedules, and roles, restaurants face a higher risk of noncompliance, particularly during high employee turnover, which requires quick recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, and workforce management. Due to the fast-paced nature of restaurant operations, it is crucial to have experts who can help monitor and comply with local, state, and federal labor regulations that frequently change, as well as optimize hiring, onboarding, and other HR processes that are closely tied to payroll.
Integrated HR Support
While modernizing payroll and securing compliance support can be a game changer for any restaurant, these tools and services are strengthened when they are integrated with other HR services that are closely connected with payroll.
