ABSTRACT 

 
The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali is one of the hotels that often hold 
conferences. Usually the arrangements of conference handled by Banquet 
Department. One of conference that has been held is Smartfren Annual 
Distributor Conference 2018. The holding of this conference makes the 
workload of Banquet Department increases, while the employee owned 
only 17 people. So hiring daily worker becomes the best choice. To 
determine total of banquet daily worker , the data analysis technique used 
is the workload analysis. Using this data analysis technique got result of 
calculation of work load analysis based on hotel provisions required daily 
worker 24 people.  However, the results of the analysis calculations 
obtained based on the reality experienced is different, daily worker 
banquet is 30 people. Looking at the two calculations there is a difference, 
this because due to lack of knowledge of the daily worker, the absence of 
calculations for daily worker needs and the demand for daily worker is 
always abrupt. The existence of this study, is expected in determining total 
of daily worker needs to be more effective. 

Keywords: Conference, banquet department, daily worker, workload

1. Introduction & Theoretical Review 

1.1 Introduction 

Bali has a natural beauty that is so exotic and natural, that's why Bali 

become one of the tourist destinations. Judging from the development of 

tourism in Bali that lead to the implementation of MICE events. MICE is 

actually a term that allows people to remember that the activities referred 

to as planning, execution and organizing a meeting, incentive, conference 

and exhibition (Pendit, 1999: 29). 

MICE organizers in Bali not only from travel agents, but hotel also 

has chance to organize of MICE. The example of a hotel that organize of 

MICE activities is The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali. The Westin Resort 

Nusa Dua Bali has a magnificent MICE facility called BICC (Bali 

International Convention Center). Several MICE organizers that has been 

held, the conference is the largest MICE event held at BICC.

The holding of a conference, there are certainly banquets that need 

special services. The presence of a large banquet makes the workload of  

Banquet Department has workload more than before. That's why Banquet 

Department reqruit daily workers, to help organizing the event. Because 

total of the employees who use only 17 employees in the operational 

banquet, and insufficient to held some big events. 

One of the conference event that has been held is Smartfren Annual 

Distributor Conference 2018. It requires a lot of daily worker. Needed 

many daily worker that make the hotel does not has a special recruitment. 

Based on preliminary research conducted, it turns out the banquet 

section has no basic reference calculation standard to determine the 

number of daily worker required. For decide what the daily worker needs 

that help excessive workload, requires calculations on how much workload 

is divided by time doing workload. Based on these results of calculations 

can be concluded how many daily worker will be required. 

Seeing the problem above, the author want to deeply research about 

needs of the daily worker banquet using workload analysis which 

previously looking at the type of work that's load. The purpose of this 

research is to know the calculation of daily worker banquet requirement 

and the type of work that's load. The benefits of this research is expected 

to be used as a reference by the hotel in calculating the needs of daily 

worker banquet. 

 

1.2 Theoretical Review 

human resources 

Human resources are also the only resources that have a sense of feeling, 

desire, skills, knowledge, encouragement, power and work (ratio, taste 

and intention) (Sutrisno, 2009: 3). 

Banquet  

Banquet can be defined as a formal banquet for a large number of people 

(minimum 15 people) usually accompanied by speeches or ceremonies 

(Atmodjo, 2005: 2). 

Event

Implementation of an event can be defined as an activity organized to 

commemorate important matters throughout human life whether 

individually or groups that are adat-bound, cultural, traditions and religions 

organized for a particular purpose and involve the community environment 

held at a certain time (Noor , 2009: 7). 

Conference 

Conference is a meeting held primarily on customary or customary forms 

of custom, two agreements between states of government or international 

agreements on the topic of prisoners of war and so on (Kesrul , 2004: 7). 

Workload 

The workload can also be defined as a difference between the capacity or 

the ability of the worker to the demands of the work to be faced (Astianto, 

2014). 

2. Research Methods 

This research was conducted at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali 

precisely at the event of Smartfren Annual Distributor Conference 2018. 

This research uses qualitative and quantitative data types, obtained from 

primary and secondary data sources. The scope of this study is the 

workload of daily worker, time to complete the workload, and daily worker 

needs in helping to complete the work they have. Data collection methods 

in this study used in-depth interviews with human resource department, 

banquet department and daily worker with guide line interview, in 

determining sample for daily worker by accidental sample technique. 

In addition, the method of data collection is done by observation, 

literature study and documentation. Last, the research method used to 

analyze the data is the workload analysis and qualitative descriptive 

analysis. This workload analysis is used to find workloads, time to 

complete workloads and how many daily worker they want. Qualitative 

descriptive analysis of the authors use to describe the results of load 

analysis calculations obtained in this study. 

3. Discussion Of Research Results 

Banquet department has an important role in every event organized 

by The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali. The role is to serve with professional

Vol. 1, No. 3, September 2018 

 

295 
 

service to every guest who carry out the event. Running its role can not be 

done alone, because the number of employees owned only 17 people and 

not enough to perform its role. Usually this situation can handle by hiring a 

daily worker for help to complete the work they have. Looking at this 

situation required the calculation of workload analysis to determine the 

number of daily worker required. This study uses the Smartfren Annual 

Distributor Conference 2018 as the basis for reference in calculating the 

number of daily worker banquet required. This event the author made for 

reference because in it many required daily worker in assisting the 

implementation of this event compared to other events. In this event there 

are the type of work assigned to the daily worker on February 28, 2018 

until March 1, 2018, the type of work is pepare for meeting, service 

meeting, clear up meeting, prepare coffee break, coffee break sevice, 

clear up coffee break, lunch service , clear up lunch, service dinner, and 

clear up dinner. Based on the following then will explain how to get the 

number of daily worker required. 

3.1 Stages In Recruiting Daily Worker Banquet 

The Westin Resort Bali Nusa Dua does not have a written SOP on 

recruitment for daily worker banquet that helps every activity there. But 

there are several steps to follow. The stages can be seen in Picture 2 

below.

Viewed from Picture 2 above the first thing to do is do a banquet 

request by creating a requisition associate form. Then bring the form to the 

General Manager, Director of Human Resource and Financial Controler for 

approval. Once approved then the human resource department conducts 

daily worker recruitment process. 

 

3.2 The calculation of total daily worker needs based on the workload 
determined by the hotel 

Workload analysis is a procedure that provides or produces labor 

measuring tools and standards of labor preparation that indicate the 

amounts employed for each job (Moekijat, 125: 1998). The calculation of 

workload analysis to determine the daily worker needs in this event is 

based on the number of service employees who numbered only seventeen 

people, the limited time and the amount of workload set by the hotel at the 

event. The small number of employees than the amount that will be 

required at the time of organizing the event leads to the need for daily 

worker. Seeing this, the calculation results obtained as follows: 

Table 4.1 Average Results Observation Workload Daily Worker In 

Accordance with the Hotel Terms. 

Activity  Volume Time Total Time 

Circle time: 

Service meeting 2 240 480 

Clear up meeting 1 30 30

Clear up dinner 1 45 45 

Total circle time 1085

relieves thirst 4 2 8 

Total time of fatigue (personal time) 28 

Break time 60 

Total time 1193 

Source: interview results 2018 (data processed) 

Based on Table 4.1 it can be seen the total time used to complete the 

work cycle is 1085 minutes. The total time to complete a non-circle job is 

20 minutes. Total fatigue time is 28 minutes and rest time is given 60

minutes. Based on Table 4.1 above can be described in more detail the 

results of the table as follows: 

Circle time    : 1085 minutes 

Time is not a circle   : 20 minutes 

Time of fatigue (personal time) : 28 minutes  

Total time    : 1133 minutes 

Based on the total time working on the workload, the following calculation 

of the workload analysis is calculated: 

Total workload   = total time x number of manpower owned 

= 1133 x 17 

= 19.261 

Total of working hours per day  = hours x one hour per minute 

= 8 x 60 

= 480 

So total of daily worker required is: 

Judging from the calculation the amount of labor requirements as 

many as 41 people. The result has not been reduced permanent 

workforce from banquet, if reduced by 17 people then the shortage to 24 

more. So the daily worker needed is 24 people. Looking at the results 

obtained from the calculation of workload analysis above there was a 

difference in the results of the number of daily worker employed. This 

difference occurs because the calculation to determine the daily worker 

that will work does not exist only using estimates. This estimate is 

intended only to determine based on the place used for the event to be 

held and the layout of the event held. Therefore the calculation to 

determine the daily worker is very necessary because it will be more

                     19.261  

                   =          x 1 person 

 480  

                   =  40,12 ≠ 41 (rounded up to 41)

certain number will be employed, no longer have to estimate the number 

of daily worker required. 

3.3 The calculation of total daily worker needs based on the fact that 
experienced daily worker 

Daily worker is a person who works in an agency both in the 

environment of government agencies and private institutions. Employees 

on this status are paid once a day, every other day, once a week, two 

weeks depending on mutual agreement. Usually employees with this 

status applies the principle of no work no pay, no work no wages 

(Sihombing, 2013). This study was conducted to see how many daily 

worker needed based on the hotel's provisions and the reality. To know 

the amount then need to do the calculation of workload analysis, which 

then can be a comparison between the two. Workload analysis is a 

process to calculate the workload of a position or job and human resource 

needs to fill the position or job (Koesomowidjojo, 2017: 58). For more 

details will be presented calculation of workload analysis as follows: 

Table 4.2 Average Results Observation Workload Daily Worker 

In Accordance with the Reality Experienced Daily Worker.

Total non-circle time 40 

Time of fatigue (personal time):

Total time of fatigue (personal time) 80 

Break time 60

Total time 1370 

 Source: interview results 2018 (data processed) 

Based on Table 4.2 the total time working on a work loop is 1090. The 

total time in completing a non-circle job is 40 minutes and the total time of 

fatigue is 60 minutes. To be more clear then can be described in more 

detail the results of the table as follows: 

Circle time    : 1090 minutes 

Time is not a circle   : 40 minutes 

Time of fatigue (personal time) : 60 minutes 

Total time    : 1075 minutes 

The following presented the workload analysis: 

Total workload   = total time x number of manpower owned 

= 1310 x 17 

= 22.270 

Total of working hours per day  = hours x one hour per minute 

= 8 x 60 

= 480 

So the Total of daily worker required is: 

Judging from the calculation the amount of labor needs of 47 people. 

The result has not been reduced by a permanent workforce owned by 

banquet, if reduced by 17 permanent employees then the shortage to 30 

more. Based on the results of these calculations there are differences in 

the number of daily worker required by the calculation on the same day 

and the number of daily worker working at the time. This is due to the 

sudden daily worker requests making the requirements for the specified 

recruitment not implemented, so that the daily worker working needs to get 

 Total workload  

WLA           =  x 1 person 

 Total of working hours per day  

                     22.270  

                   =          x 1 person 

 480  

                   =  40,12 ≠ 41 (rounded up to 41)

a brief on the workload to be done to make the time spent longer. See also 

the calculation of the number of daily worker required does not exist 

causing less exact daily number of actual worker required. The calculation 

is only based on estimates. This event is running smoothly but it takes 

extra time to complete the existing workload. Seeing this, it is certain that 

the calculation of this analysis is needed to be applied so that no 

additional time is required. 

 

4. Conclusion And Suggestion 

4.1 Conclusion 

Based on the research that the authors do it can be concluded that 

the shortage of people based on the hotel provisions on the date is 24 

people. Based on the fact it takes as many as 30 more people. Seeing the 

result is difference in determining the number of daily worker. This 

happens because there is no calculation to determine the daily worker, 

need for additional time to complete workload, the provisions are not 

executed properly and requests for recruitment of daily worker abruptly. 

4.2 Suggestion 

Looking at the research that author make it about daily worker 

banquet workload analysis in organizing the event of Smartfren Distributor 

Conference 2018, then there are some suggestions that the author give to 

evaluate the determination of daily worker banquet needs. So the advice 

that the author can give, research conducted on the analysis of this 

workload should be applied by the hotel to the needs of daily worker is not 

too much or too little. Also, the daily worker request is more planned so 

that in the process of daily worker selection that works in accordance with 

the wishes of the hotel and does not happen again excessive time to teach 

the work that is charged.
