Quiz Over Staffing And Scheduling

Fixed staff positions are positions that are scheduled to work regardless of the occupancy level of the hotel. These positions have a set schedule and are not affected by fluctuations in the hotel's occupancy. This means that even if the hotel is not fully occupied, these staff members will still be scheduled to work their regular shifts.

Hiring part-time employees allows an executive housekeeper to reduce labor costs as they are not required to work full-time hours, thus saving on wages and benefits. Additionally, having part-time employees provides extra scheduling flexibility as they can be scheduled based on the fluctuating demands of the workload. This allows the executive housekeeper to efficiently allocate staff resources and ensure that the necessary tasks are covered without incurring unnecessary expenses.

(500 x 50%) = 250 rooms
250 x 30 minutes = 7500 minutes
7500/60 minutes = 125 hours needed
1250/8 hour shifts = 15.6 ~ 16 attendants

500 x 60% = 300
300 x 30 = 9000 minutes
9000/60 = 150 hours
150/8 hour shifts = 18.75 ~ 19 attendants

500 x 80% = 400
400 x 30 minutes = 12000 minutes
12000/60 minutes = 200 hours
200/8 hour shifts = 25 attendants

[(100 x 80%) x 30]/60 = 4 hours

100 x 80% = 80
80 x 30 = 240 minutes
240 minutes/60 minutes (time in an hour) = 4 hours

The assistant executive housekeeper is least likely to have a work schedule that varies in relation to changes in hotel occupancy because their role involves more managerial and administrative responsibilities rather than direct involvement in cleaning and maintaining guest rooms. Their schedule is likely to be more consistent and stable, focusing on overseeing and coordinating the housekeeping operations rather than being directly affected by fluctuations in hotel occupancy.

500 x 100% = 500
500 x 30 minutes = 15000 minutes
15000/60 minutes = 250 hours
250/8 hour shifts = 31.2 ~ 32 attendants

The executive housekeeper can determine whether additional staff or fewer staff will be needed in relation to the number of room attendants on a standard work shift by dividing the number of occupied rooms by the number of rooms cleaned during a work shift. This calculation allows the executive housekeeper to assess the productivity of the room attendants and determine if the current staffing level is sufficient or if adjustments need to be made.

500 x 75% = 375
375 x 30 minutes = 11250 minutes
11250/60 minutes = 187.5 hours
187.5/8 hour shifts = 23.4 ~ 24 attendants
