How the desk runs
One platform, from the cover call to the invoice.
Who is free, right now
A firm needs a paralegal for a disclosure exercise. Booking Desk shows which lawyers are available, cleared and suitable, so the booking is filled on the call.
The list worth ringing first
Legal desks place the same people repeatedly across matters, so your own record is the fastest first call. 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 lawyer can be paid, where they stand on AWR, and how the rate compares. What the firm is really judging is whether the lawyer is admitted, conflict-free and ready for the matter — so the check happens before the booking, not after.
Timesheets without the chasing
Firms approve online through branded portals, and scanned or photographed timesheets are read automatically and queued for review.
Pay the week, bill the client
PAYE for fixed-term cover, with umbrella and limited for day-rate lawyers, run from the hours that were approved — and the firm invoiced in the same straight-through run.
Where the week stands
Dashman shows assignment progress, placement fees and where offers stall, in one live view rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt every Friday.
Checks and clearances
Admitted and conflict-checked before the placement
Practising status and conflict position sit on the candidate record, so a placement is put forward on evidence rather than assumption.

Questions
Temp Legal recruitment software questions.
How quickly can a legal shift be filled?
Start from the open job or from the lawyer. 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 firm 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 legal placement need?
Practising status and conflict position sit on the candidate record, so a placement is put forward on evidence rather than assumption. The desk holds practising certificate status with expiry alerts, conflict checks recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
