How the desk runs
One platform, from the cover call to the invoice.
Who is free, right now
A site needs twelve production operatives for a night run. Booking Desk shows which operatives are available, cleared and suitable, so the booking is filled on the call.
The list worth ringing first
Volume work repeats with the season, so the operatives who worked last peak are the first to ring for this one. Plain-English search runs across everyone you have placed, and pulls a profile from LinkedIn into the record in a click.
Checks beside the button
Before anyone is committed the desk shows whether the operative can be paid, where they stand on AWR, and how the rate compares. What the site is really judging is whether the whole shift turns up inducted and hygiene-certified — so the check happens before the booking, not after.
Timesheets without the chasing
Sites approve online through branded portals, and scanned or photographed timesheets are read automatically and queued for review.
Pay the week, bill the client
PAYE with AWR and holiday pay, run weekly from approved hours, run from the hours that were approved — and the site invoiced in the same straight-through run.
Where the week stands
Dashman shows fill-rate by site, cover by line and where the week is short, in one live view rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt every Friday.
Checks and clearances
Inducted and certified before the shift
Food and plant environments gate on hygiene certification and induction. Both sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, checked before a booking is committed.
How documents and expiry work- Food hygiene certification with expiry alerts

Questions
Temp FMCG recruitment software questions.
How quickly can a FMCG shift be filled?
Start from the open job or from the operative. The desk shows who is free, who is booked elsewhere, and who is cleared, so the booking can be made on the call rather than after a round of phoning.
What happens when a booking is cancelled at short notice?
Cancel the job or the booking with the date and the reason attached. The history stays on the record, so the whole team has the same answer when the site asks about it weeks later.
Does it handle AWR and holiday pay?
PAYE, AWR and holiday pay run from the hours approved on the timesheet, and umbrella and limited arrangements run for contractors on the same approved workflow.
Can we see a whole week of bookings at once?
Timeline shows the week read down the people or down the jobs: who is on what, for which client, on which day, with the unfilled gaps visible.
What checks does a FMCG placement need?
Food and plant environments gate on hygiene certification and induction. Both sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, checked before a booking is committed. The desk holds food hygiene certification with expiry alerts, site and line inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, PPE sign-off before the worker goes on site.
