Time and attendance for restaurants and hotels in Morocco

A restaurant does not work a continuous day: lunch service then dinner, closing at 1 am, Saturday extras, a hotel reception open 24 hours a day.

Standard software pays the break as work or splits the dinner service in two at midnight. TEMPO handles these cases with settings, not manual corrections.

A TEMPO shift can have several slots, for example 11:00 – 15:00 and 18:30 – 23:00. The employee punches four times, and only the time between a clock-in and the next clock-out counts: the break is not paid.

Example: slots 9:00 – 14:00 and 15:00 – 20:30, punches at 9:00, 14:02, 14:58 and 20:30. Result: 10 h 34 worked, 10 h 30 normal and 4 minutes of overtime at 25%.

The service stays attached to the day it started: the 0:40 clock-out counts for the previous day’s service.

Overtime after 9 pm is night overtime, paid at a premium under article 201 of the Labour Code. A service scheduled in the evening is still paid as normal hours.

With work cycles for continuous posts (reception, security, night watch) and the schedule grid for services that vary. For the restaurant, the schedule generator starts from opening hours and minimum staffing.

The published schedule shows on each employee’s phone. Worked public holidays are paid at public holiday rates.

In a kitchen, hands are wet or gloved: a facial recognition time clock is often more reliable and more hygienic than a fingerprint one. Place it at the staff entrance.

For a café or a small restaurant, clocking in from a phone is enough.
