The night auditor typically handles both the duties of the front desk agent and some of the duties of the accounting department. This is necessitated by the fact that most fiscal days close at or around midnight, and the normal workday of the employees in the accounting department does not extend to cover this time of day. Work shifts for night auditors usually run from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. but could vary depending on the hotel, with shifts of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. or midnight to 8 a.m. being common. Work weeks vary by hotel as well, with most hotels having a full-time auditor working five nights a week (typically Sunday through Thursday) and a separate part-time auditor working the other two nights a week (Friday and Saturday).
