Questions
Provide answers to all of the questions below.

1. List two sources of information that you could access to find information about the Hospitality
Industry (General) Award.
The two information sources for getting information about hospitality industry (general) Award
are:

• Trade publications

• Internet sources

2. List two further sources of information that you could access, to find out information on work
agreements for the hospitality industry.
The following are two other information sources that can be examined to obtain details about
work agreements in the hospitality sector:

• Conversations with clients and co-workers

• Information from unions or trade exhibits

3. Why is it important to check the relevant award conditions when preparing a roster?
Examine the applicable award terms carefully before producing rosters, as awards and other
agreements may have different procedures for updating the roster and distributing them to
staff members.

4. How is an enterprise agreement different from a modern award?


An enterprise agreement is different from a pertinent award in that the former outline the rights
of the working population of a company or group of financial firms, while the latter only provide
limited safeguards for the majority of workers in an industry, job, or business.

5. Explain how industrial agreements can affect the preparation of rosters.


Industrial agreements may cover everything that must be taken into account and added to in
order to comply with roster work preparation. This includes work conditions, vacation time,
mentorship, communication, and compensation, all of which are directly related to the

work week cap for students.

16. Why are rosters used and why are they important for controlling staff costs?
A staff roster is necessary to keep a firm operating smoothly. A roster is a useful tool that helps to
guarantee that there is a sufficient number of employees for a given shift and that no more workers
are coming in beyond what is necessary. Thus, it manages personnel expenses.

17. Provide four functions of a software program that can support the development of a roster.
The following features of a software application that can aid in the creation of a roster:

• Functions of Tanda (a software to develop rosters)

• Helps to create rosters easily.

18. What are two different formats used for staff rosters?
The different formats used for staff rosters are:

• Microsoft excel spreadsheet

• Roster specific apps such as sling.

19. Identify four items that you would need to include on a roster.

The following things would need to be listed on a roster:

• Employee accessibility.

• Unique request from the employees.

• Costing.

• Regulations pertaining to the lowest and highest hours required for rosters.

20. List two examples of the two different ways of communicating a new roster, or an update to a
roster.

Digital/electronic One option to share a new roster or an update is through digital or


electronic channels like email, an intranet portal, or a mobile app. This
facilitates the process of sending the roster to staff members quickly and
easily and records the discussion for future reference.

Paper based A new roster or an update can also be announced to staff members by
printing copies, delivering them in person, or posting them on a
noticeboard. This can be useful for companies with limited IT capabilities
or for employees who would like to have a printed copy of the roster. It
might also be a good tactic to make sure employees receive and
understand the roster.

21. Provide two advantages of rostering team members that have diverse social and cultural
backgrounds, as well as skills.
The following are benefits of rostering players with a variety of social, cultural, and talent
backgrounds

• The chance to pick up new abilities.

• Set aside specific days for religious holidays or celebrations to make managing
vacations easier.

22. Identify four human resource policies and procedures that could be used to find out about
leave provisions and managing socio-cultural workforce issues.
The following human resource policies and procedures could be utilized to manage sociocultural
workforce challenges and learn about leave provisions:

• Workplace policy.

• Fair work website.

• Work health and safety.

• Discrimination act

23. Referring to the hospitality industry specifically, provide three examples of operational
requirements that can have an impact on roster development.
The following are some instances of operational needs that may affect roster development, with a
particular focus on the hospitality sector:

• Keep the roster spending in control.

• Give full-time employees enough hours to work.

• Assign busy shifts to persons with expertise.

24. Explain how a wage budget can impact rostering.

Rostering may be impacted by wage budget since it restricts the number of employees and hours
which can be assigned to them. In order to stay within the budget, it also chooses who would
supply the changes in schedule. A small budget could prevent the business from paying all of its
workers or letting them put in as many hours of work as necessary. The number of employees and
the number of hours they are permitted to work are determined by the salary budget of the
company.

25. List three reasons that rosters may require adjustments or modifying.
There are three possible reasons why registries need to be modified or acclimated:

1. Legal conditions variations to bills and rules, similar as those pertaining to minimal
stipend or maximum work hours, may have an impact on registries and the quantum of
hours that workers are permitted to work.

2. Changes in demand: The demands of the company may vary. For case, a canon
adaptation can be necessary to guarantee that there's enough staff on hand to satisfy
demand if there's an abrupt shaft or reduction in customer demand.

3. The availability of employees is liable to alter. For example, the canon might need to be
adjusted to account for a hand's absences if they are sick.

26. List two important factors that you need to consider when modifying a roster.
When altering a roster, there are two crucial elements that must be taken into account:

• What employees want: It's important to take into account what employees desire, such as
whether or not they require time off or if they're bound by a set schedule that they must
follow. Bringing happiness to workers motivates them to perform well.

• What the firm needs: It's also crucial to take into account what the company needs, such
as whether it will need more employees in the near future due to a busy period. A roster
that strikes a good balance between what the firm needs and what the employees want will
function more efficiently.

The assessor will divide you into groups of five (5). Each person in the group must
select one of the staff positions that you identified in the Business Case Study and
complete the Staff Profile Template provided. They will do this providing their own
details and skills and experience.
When completing the Staff Profile Template (as you will be completing one for other
students as part of their project) – make sure you are true to your own
commitments and availability over the roster period. Also consider your own
personal, social and cultural needs and ensure to communicate any requirements
to the person preparing the roster.
Please note that this is an individual task so each person must develop their own
business case.
When conducting discussions, take into consideration:

 any staff requests for the roster including any upcoming personal
commitments

 social and cultural considerations such as working flexibly, family


commitments, cultural events or ceremonies.
During the meeting with your group, ensure that you use effective communication
skills including:

 listening to staff requests

 asking questions to confirm any requirements.

You are to base all wages on the pay guide for the Hospitality Industry (General)

You are one of the staff members and the others in your group will also be staff
members. Provide your own skills and experiences and record the other group
member’s details and skills and experience.

the details provided by the other staff members as well as the Operational Policy to
help identify operational requirements and the staff members’ completed profiles.

services effectively.

The roster must be submitted in a suitable format to your supervisor for approval
within the time allocated. This could be a PDF document, a printed report from the
software, or a screenshot.

Submit your roster to your assessor.

5. Roster changes.

The supervisor (your assessor) will provide you with the following messages from
three members of staff:

 One member of staff is sick.
