Headcount scenarios
The headcount plan carries a scenario dimension: budget establishment, revised forecast and actuals are kept apart. Hires at season opening and leavers at close are planned month by month, and turnover follows from that movement.

Expected outcome
What changes
- Position-level headcount plan — how many people, which month, which department
- The cost impact of raise, bonus and statutory-load scenarios is immediate
- Labour cost per occupied room and staff productivity per guest are measured
- Ratios stay correct even when payroll is in TRY and revenue in the scenario currency

HOW WOULD YOU USE IT?
How do you balance seasonal staffing, service needs and total cost?
Housekeeping and F&B staffing may grow at different rates as occupancy rises. Plan positions, joining dates and pay assumptions by month. Assess the cost of permanent and seasonal staffing in separate scenarios.
- Starting data
- Positions, departments, joining and leaving dates, pay and benefit assumptions.
- The decision to make
- In which months and departments do staffing needs or cost pressures arise?
Payroll simulation
Change a raise percentage, a bonus policy or a statutory parameter and the annual cost impact recalculates immediately. Put the scenarios side by side and see which one fits the budget — you walk into the decision meeting with numbers, not estimates.
Leave, training and approvals
Leave requests, training plans and onboarding live in the same module. Approvals run through a route-based chain, and a delegation can stand in while a manager is away so nothing stalls. When the period closes, workforce data locks.
