The difference

Why hospitality teams use CubeHR for compliance & right to work

Right to work checks are a legal requirement. CubeHR ensures no document expires without HR being notified, protecting your business from fines of up to £20,000 per worker.
Every compliance check, document, and action is logged with timestamps. When regulators or auditors ask, you produce the evidence instantly.
Automated alerts, expiry tracking, and centralised document storage replace manual spreadsheets, diary reminders, and paper filing systems.

In practice

How hospitality businesses actually use it

Illustrative examples of how it gets used, not customer case studies.

A hospitality company with 200 staff had no system for tracking visa expiry dates. Two employees were found to be working with expired visas during a Home Office audit.
A care home group needed Enhanced DBS checks for all staff but was tracking them in a spreadsheet that was frequently out of date.

The problem

Hospitality HR problems that compliance & right to work solves

High staff turnover
Hospitality has the highest turnover of any sector. Onboarding and offboarding need to be fast and consistent.
Complex shift scheduling
Split shifts, variable hours, seasonal peaks, and last-minute changes make scheduling a constant challenge.
Right to work for transient workforce
High turnover means frequent right to work checks. Missing one can result in fines of up to £20,000 per worker.
Time tracking for non-desk workers
Staff don't have desktops. They need to clock in quickly at the start of a shift without logging into complex systems.
