Traditionally, when filling vacant shifts, organisations must source their temporary staff from agencies. Allocate 247TimeDirectEngage changes the way that organisations engage with their staff and enables them to achieve financial savings, greater control, and further transparency.
By using 247TimeDirectEngage, organisations pay the temporary worker direct, pay the agency a ‘finder’s fee’, avoid any unnecessary VAT charges and the entire process is fully automated.
Fully integrated with HealthRoster, combine 247TimeDirectEngage with Allocate AgencyManager to provide a powerful agency management platform.
