Efficient timesheet processing is critical for successful temp recruitment agencies.
First the timesheets need to be generated for the booked work. They may then be emailed out or, ideally, made available online to the clients and temps for completion and authorisation. Of course approval requirements vary between clients. Some may be happy to sign off online but many will require the uploading of a signed image. Some public organisations still use fax machines. Often timesheet images are uploaded and need to be matched to the booked assignments, sometimes automatically by barcode, sometimes by manual cross checking.
Once the completed and approved timesheets are in the system, they must generate the bills and payslips. The conversion of hours of work into lines of pay and charge often requires complicated calculations based on rules which vary very widely between clients. IQX has a specialised scripting system which can be customised to handle this process.
For the pay and bill mechanism, IQX allows for a wide range of options to suit individual requirements. It has a built in sales ledger which generates the invoices and emails them to clients, including all the supporting documentation required to speed rapid approval for payment. Some users export to dedicated pay and bill providers. For PAYE temps, IQX closely integrates with a number of payroll providers. For self-employed temps, self-billing is incorporated. Holiday pay calculations and AWR are built into the processes.
