How the desk runs

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

  • Set the pattern once

    A department needs an interim caseworker for a backlog. 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 officer is not rota'd into a pattern that breaks them.

  • Today, across every department

    Timeline puts the day's shifts across all departments in one view. What decides whether the contract is kept is whether the screening pack meets the framework standard, and the gaps are visible before a manager has to ring.

  • Hours in, week paid

    PAYE under framework terms, with umbrella where the assignment allows, built from the hours actually worked once the department has approved them.

  • Cover and fill-rate

    Dashman shows framework compliance, assignment progress and contractor margin.

Checks and clearances

Cleared and evidenced before the placement

Public sector placements carry a documented screening trail. Each check sits on the worker record with its date, ready for the framework audit rather than assembled for it.

Questions

Shift Government 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 officer 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 government placement need?

Public sector placements carry a documented screening trail. Each check sits on the worker record with its date, ready for the framework audit rather than assembled for it. The desk holds baseline personnel security standard checks, clearance level and expiry where the role requires it, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
