How the desk runs

One platform, from the rate to the self-bill.

  • Find who is coming free

    Clearance takes longer than the vacancy does, so the cleared people already on your record are the only fast route. The record tells you who is finishing and when, before the vacancy is even open.

  • Rate, margin and status

    The charge rate, the pay rate and the margin sit on the placement, with the contract status and IR35 position recorded alongside them.

  • Brief that matches the work

    Contracts here run on systems, integration and support specialists. What the programme is judging is whether the specialist holds clearance at the level the contract needs, so that is what the submission has to evidence.

  • Extensions on the same line

    An extension runs against the existing placement rather than a new one, so the rate history, the end dates and the whole assignment stay together.

  • Self-bill and contractor pay

    Umbrella and limited arrangements, with PAYE where the contract requires it, produced from approved hours, with self-bill documents drawn from the same figures and the programme invoiced in the same run.

  • Margin against forecast

    Dashman shows clearance coverage, assignment progress and contractor margin.

Questions

Contract Defence recruitment software questions.

How is IR35 and contract status handled?

The contract status and IR35 position sit on the placement alongside the rate and the margin, so the position is evidenced on the record when it is asked about. Umbrella and limited arrangements, with PAYE where the contract requires it all run from the same placement.

Does it handle umbrella and limited contractors?

Both run from the hours approved on the timesheet, with self-bill documents produced from the same approved figures.

How are extensions tracked?

An extension runs against the existing placement rather than a new record, so the rate history, the end dates and the whole assignment stay in one line.

Can we see margin by placement?

Dashman shows contract margin against forecast by placement, consultant and client, without a spreadsheet in the middle.

What checks does a defence placement need?

Clearance level and expiry sit on the worker record, so the desk can see who is eligible for a programme before anyone is put forward.
