What matters for hospitality
Mobile onboarding at volume
Peak seasons bring many hires at once. New staff should complete forms, direct deposit and policy sign-offs on a phone before their first shift.
Turnover by property
Reports by property, outlet and department show where staff leave and where schedules run short.
Form I-9 for every hire
Federal law requires every employer to complete Form I-9 for each person it hires in the U.S. Check that the HRIS collects the employee section at onboarding, reminds managers to complete theirs, and stores the forms.
Tips and service charges kept apart
Employees must report their cash tips to the employer each month unless they fall under the IRS's small monthly threshold, and service charges added to a bill are wages, not tips. Check that both reach payroll as separate earnings.

Frequently asked questions
What should an HRIS for hospitality include?
Mobile onboarding for seasonal hires, a Form I-9 for every hire, tips and service charges kept as separate earnings, and turnover and headcount by property and outlet. Ask how a new hire without a company email signs in, and how a manager sees only their own property.
How do hospitality employers handle Form I-9 for seasonal hires?
The same way as for any hire: federal law requires every employer to complete Form I-9 for each person it hires in the U.S., and a seasonal job is no exception. An HRIS can send the employee's section with the onboarding forms, remind the manager to review documents and complete the employer section, and keep each form on file.
