Are your housekeepers over on hours daily?

Dealing with your housekeeping staff is not as easy as one would expect. The goal is to have them meet a high bar of cleanliness without taking a large amount of time per room. With that being said we have come up with a worksheet each housekeeper fills out at the end of their shift and a master form for the head housekeeper. In this form they calculate the time expected to do their duties versus actual hours and list the variance. The head housekeeper does the same but for the entire department on a daily basis.

They calculate their hours as follows

  • Maids - Number of rooms cleaned x 25 minutes per room to clean = X mins /60 for X hours
  • Head Housekeeper -Total Number of rooms cleaned x 5 mins for laundry per room + 90 minutes for commons areas + Number of rooms cleaned x 25 minutes = X mins /60 for X hours


They then compare the hours calculated versus the hours taken for either an overage or shortage. You can view these numbers on a daily basis to see how close you are to your budget but in all actually you should review this across every pay period.
