How Do You Track Staff - mersano/Article GitHub Wiki

Working collaboratively on GitHub has become a favoured way for many companies to monitor projects and integrate with team members.  However, there is an element of time allocation and resource handling that is not offered on the platform.  Hiring a dedicated member of staff to sort timesheet and arrange annual leave and sickness cover is often not practical for small and medium-sized enterprises.  Timesheet Portal offers a professional and efficient bespoke online option that caters to both the recruitment sector as well as a standard business model for other industries.

Why the Difference?

Timesheet Portal understands that a recruitment agency has a very unique business set up that is not the same as other businesses.  Acting as intermediaries they sit between the staff and the holding client, needing to push and pull information between the two with ease and reliability.  Because of the differences in business structure Timesheet Portal have created a package specifically for recruitment which features a full understanding of the needs.

Reporting

When reporting back to the client and invoicing them for the staff used, they are going to want to know what they are paying for naturally.  Within the customised and business specific portal, there are a wealth of reporting tools making it easy to meet the requirements of the client.  Reports can be exported and sent in a range of formats, and be customised and sorted to generate the specific information needed without having to doctor a report to remove extraneous data.  There is also forecasting reporting which allow you to create margin forecast reports in graphical or numerical format.  Consultant commission reports commission splits are readily available saving time and complex calculations.

Tailor Made Packages

While there are two versions of the software available, the customisation doesn't stop there.  When you enquire about the software, you can select the modules that will fit with your business, meaning you do not have to pay for redundant areas that do not apply to your business, or indeed might be covered by another software package you use. Staff and managers can access the software from any location 24/7 using either a desktop, laptop or mobile device giving you plenty of scope to manage multiple sites and staff.  The simple interface means staff are not wasting time trying to allocate work or book leave and can concentrate on the job at hand.

Saving Contractors Time

The recruitment specific software also has a contractor self-billing module which cuts down on the amount of time your contractors need to spend on administration too.  Invoices are sent to your company from your contracts with their details set up.   This module features full timesheet integration to avoid duplication of billing and contractor rechargeable expenses can also be included.  All features of the recruitment software feed directly into your accounting software provided you are using one of the four main packages - Sage 50, Xero, Quickbooks or Kashflow. The portal is secured for all users from your own staff, to contractors and any clients that you approve access for.
