How the desk runs
One platform, from the rota to the weekly pay run.
Set the pattern once
A scheme needs a site engineer for a six-week dig. Nights, alternate weeks, particular days to a month end — set the pattern once and the run is created rather than entered shift by shift.
Work the whole run together
A big order arrives as a run of shifts, not one booking. Work all of them together, with filled, working and open counters moving as the desk covers them.
Break and fatigue rules applied
The fatigue, break, recent-hours and duration checks you have configured sit alongside the booking, so no engineer is rota'd into a pattern that breaks them.
Today, across every site
Timeline puts the day's shifts across all sites in one view. What decides whether the contract is kept is whether the engineer turns up ticketed and inducted, and the gaps are visible before a manager has to ring.
Hours in, week paid
Day-rate PAYE, CIS deductions and umbrella arrangements, built from the hours actually worked once the site has approved them.
Cover and fill-rate
Dashman shows fill-rate by scheme, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of.
Checks and clearances
Cleared for site before the booking is committed
Cards, inductions and sign-offs are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely site-ready rather than who is merely free.

Questions
Shift Civil Engineering recruitment software questions.
Can it handle repeating rota patterns?
Set the pattern once — nights, alternate weeks, particular days to a month end — and the run of shifts is created from it rather than entered one at a time.
Are break and fatigue rules enforced?
The fatigue, break, recent-hours and duration checks you configure sit alongside the booking, so the desk sees the conflict before the engineer is committed to it.
How are a run of shifts filled quickly?
Bulk shift copy and the Booking Desk work a whole run together, with filled, working and open counters moving as the desk fills them.
Does approved time feed payroll directly?
Approved hours build the weekly pay queue and carry into invoicing in the same run, rather than being re-keyed into a separate payroll system.
What checks do civil engineering placements need?
Cards, inductions and sign-offs are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely site-ready rather than who is merely free. The desk holds CSCS cards with expiry alerts, professional qualifications on the worker record, site safety inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts.
