We become the legal employer of the housekeepers, banquet staff, culinary teams, front of house and event crews that run hotels, resorts, casinos and venues. Weekly W-2 payroll with tip credit and service charge compliance, seasonal headcount that scales without setup or termination fees, workers compensation matched to hospitality classifications, and deployment across the Gulf Coast and all 50 states.
BOOK A CONSULTATIONA Gulf Coast resort doubles its staff for the summer and halves it in September. A casino staffs up for a weekend event and down on Monday. A convention hotel needs two hundred banquet servers for three days. Every one of those workers is paid under wage and hour rules that are different from any other industry: tip credits, tip pooling, service charges, split shifts and overtime calculated across tipped and non tipped hours.
The employer behind that workforce has to run payroll that gets the tip credit right every week, onboard and release hundreds of seasonal workers without fees, carry comp matched to housekeeping and kitchen classifications, and keep I-9 compliance clean through constant turnover. Revelation carries that stack for properties and the staffing firms that serve them.
Revelation is headquartered in Mobile, Alabama, between the Gulf Shores resort corridor and the Mississippi Gulf Coast casinos. We employ seasonal and event workforces across the region every week.
You decide who works, in which outlet, under whose supervision. Revelation becomes the legal employer and absorbs every obligation behind that decision.
These are the obligations that separate hospitality employment from desk employment.
Federal law allows a tip credit against minimum wage only when specific notice, pooling and record keeping rules are followed, and many states set their own tipped minimums or prohibit the credit outright. Service charges are not tips and are taxed differently. Errors here produce back wage claims across the entire tipped workforce. Revelation runs tipped payroll to the rule in every state.
Seasonal and variable hour staff require measurement and stability period tracking to determine benefits eligibility under the Affordable Care Act, and the reporting that follows. Getting it wrong triggers penalties per employee. Revelation tracks hours, determines eligibility and files the reporting as part of employment.
Hospitality turnover means continuous onboarding, and every hire requires a correctly completed I-9 within three days. Audits find errors at scale. Revelation completes I-9 verification through digital onboarding and retains the records for the required period.
Housekeeping, culinary and banquet classifications see frequent soft tissue and burn claims, and a bad year raises the cost of every hour worked for three years. Revelation classifies correctly, manages claims to closure and runs return to work programs to protect the modification rate. See risk and insurance →

Clarissa Hamilton, PresidentThe EOR becomes the legal employer of your seasonal, event or outlet staff. It runs weekly payroll with tip credit and service charge compliance, withholds and files taxes, carries workers compensation matched to hospitality classifications, administers benefits and ACA tracking, and completes I-9 verification. You keep full control of who works, in which outlet, and under whose supervision.
Yes. Tip credit, tip pooling, service charges, split shifts and overtime across tipped and non tipped hours are calculated to federal and state rules every week, with the notice and record keeping the tip credit requires.
Seasonal staff are released with no termination fees and no minimums. When the next season opens, returning staff can be re employed in days with their records intact, and anyone you want to keep can be converted to your own payroll with no fee.
Yes. Digital onboarding processes hundreds of event workers in days with I-9 verification and tax forms completed, and there are no setup fees for short engagements.
No. A staffing agency finds and supplies workers. An Employer of Record employs workers you have already identified and carries the payroll, tax, insurance and compliance obligations of employing them. Revelation is an EOR and is often engaged alongside a property's existing recruiting function or staffing partner.
