How the desk runs
One platform, from the rota to the weekly pay run.
Set the pattern once
A laboratory needs an analytical chemist for a validation run. 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 scientist is not rota'd into a pattern that breaks them.
Today, across every laboratory
Timeline puts the day's shifts across all laboratories in one view. What decides whether the contract is kept is whether the scientist is inducted and competent on the method, and the gaps are visible before a manager has to ring.
Hours in, week paid
PAYE for fixed-term cover, with umbrella and limited for contract scientists, built from the hours actually worked once the laboratory has approved them.
Cover and fill-rate
Dashman shows fill-rate by laboratory, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of.
Checks and clearances
Qualified and inducted before the placement
Qualifications and laboratory inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, and are confirmed before anyone is committed.
How documents and expiry work- 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

Questions
Shift Scientific 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 scientist 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 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.
