How the desk runs

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

Find who is coming free
Validation and campaign work repeats, so the scientists who ran the last one are the obvious first call. 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 analytical chemists, lab technicians and QC analysts. What the laboratory is judging is whether the scientist is inducted and competent on the method, 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
PAYE for fixed-term cover, with umbrella and limited for contract scientists, produced from approved hours, with self-bill documents drawn from the same figures and the laboratory invoiced in the same run.
Margin against forecast
Dashman shows fill-rate by laboratory, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of.

Questions

Contract Scientific 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. PAYE for fixed-term cover, with umbrella and limited for contract scientists 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 scientific placement need?

Qualifications and laboratory inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, and are confirmed before anyone is committed. The desk holds professional and academic qualifications with expiry alerts, laboratory inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
