„Arriving and feeling good“ is the timeless motto. This applies to families as well as to school classes, compa- nies or hiking and leisure groups. 44 hostels employ 960 people. In the season of 2017/2018, they achieved an annual sales of 40 million euros. The need to implement ZEUS® Time & Attendance and Staff Planning in 2015 became a necessity because of the MinimumWage Law. This law requires an exact docu- mentation of working hours for the hotel and hospitality industry. The roll-out took place from December 2015 to March 2016 in close cooperation with ISGUS in Frankfurt. Throughout the year there is a great variety of attrac- tions and events to discover and experience at the Youth Hostels in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. The offerings range from team building programs to family and class travel programs. Seminar groups and further education can be found as well. Usually guests are loo- king for a community in the group and they can find it in the hostel. Interface to the payroll program Addison „At the beginning of 2015, Addison employees recom- mended ZEUS® Time & Attendance to us. The interface of ZEUS® to our Addison payroll program was very appealing to us as it enables a transfer of digital master data without anyone having to collect data manually“, explains Detlef Schmand, commercial director of the Youth Hostels Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, to launch the cooperation with the ISGUS Group. Individual shift models in 44 hostels The purpose was to equip 44 hostels with ZEUS® Time & Attendance. That means 44 hostels with different Staff Scheduling and individual shift models. Accordingly, at the beginning about 100 employees had to be trained in handling ZEUS®. ISGUS took care of the roll-out in five youth hostels. Christian Stelzel, ZEUS® representative and controller of the Youth Hostels in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, took over the remaining hostels. The Youth Hostels in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland are based in Mainz, world heritage on the Middle Rhine Valley. They are committed to continuous, holistic development, and will modernise 8 of their 44 homes between 2016 and 2019. Moreover, a new opening in Pirmasens is scheduled in 2019. Behind this is the motivation to inspire guests with special group offers and to make their stay unforgettable. MODERN, SERVICE ORIENTED AND HOSPITABLE 10
