Simplify every aspect of your labour hire workforce management

Microkeeper offers a comprehensive suite of integrated tools to simplify every aspect of your temporary and permanent workforce management. 

The labour hire workforce challenge:
Agility meets complexity

Labour hire and recruitment agencies face a distinct set of workforce complexities that demand more than standard HR and payroll solutions. Microkeeper directly addresses these critical pain points:

Challenge: Rapid onboarding of temporary staff

The nature of temporary staff often means a high volume of new hires, sometimes needing to be ready for placement within hours. Manual paperwork, repeated data entry, and slow processing of essential documents (TFNs, superannuation, contracts, qualifications) can create bottlenecks, delay placement, and lead to compliance risk. An inefficient onboarding process impacts your ability to rapidly respond to client demands and can negatively affect the new employee’s first impression.

Challenge: Scheduling workers across various client sites

Labour hire means managing a pool of employees who may work for multiple clients, potentially across different industries, locations, and with varying site-specific requirements. Creating and managing rosters across numerous client sites, ensuring staff have the right skills and availability for each job, and handling last-minute changes can be an administrative nightmare. Without a centralised, flexible system, this leads to scheduling conflicts, missed shifts, and reduced client satisfaction.

Challenge: Managing diverse payroll requirements

The true complexity for labour hire and recruitment payroll software lies in managing diverse pay conditions. Your temporary staff may be working under different Modern Awards, Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBAs), or individual contracts, depending on the client’s industry and the nature of the work. This includes varying pay rates, shift penalties, allowance, and overtime rules. Manual calculation for such diverse requirements is highly prone to error, time-consuming, and carries significant risk of underpayment, overpayment, or Fair Work penalties.

Manual payroll processing under these conditions is time-consuming, highly susceptible to errors, and carries significant risk of underpayment or overpayment, leading to costly disputes or non-compliance.
