How the desk runs

One platform, from the rota to the weekly pay run.

  • Set the pattern once

    A client needs someone to start on Monday. 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 a candidate is not rota'd into a pattern that breaks them.

  • Today, across every client

    Timeline puts the day's shifts across all clients in one view. What decides whether the contract is kept is whether the person fits the team as well as the job description, and the gaps are visible before a manager has to ring.

  • Hours in, week paid

    PAYE, umbrella and limited arrangements from approved hours, built from the hours actually worked once the client has approved them.

  • Cover and fill-rate

    Dashman shows fill-rate, placement fees and margin across every desk.

Checks and clearances

On the record before anyone is placed

Whatever the desk is working on, the checks that gate a placement sit on the worker record with expiry alerts and are confirmed before anyone is committed.

Questions

Shift Generalist 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 a candidate 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 does a generalist placement need?

Whatever the desk is working on, the checks that gate a placement sit on the worker record with expiry alerts and are confirmed before anyone is committed. The desk holds right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record, qualifications and certifications with expiry alerts, AWR position visible at the point of booking.
