Who's qualified, who's cleared, who's owed.
Your bench, by what each person can actually be put on — discipline, tier, availability. Before anyone is sent to a job, the checks that have to clear are read live off their record, not ticked on trust. And the hours they work turn into approved weeks that bill and pay, per person, straight and overtime split out.
This is your people as the firm has to manage them: who is on the bench and qualified, who is cleared to be sent to a site, and whose hours are approved to bill and to pay.
The bench was a list in someone's head and a rate in a different spreadsheet. Whether a person was cleared to go to a site — credentials current, orientation done, work authorization issued — was a set of phone calls made the morning of. Timesheets were paper or a photo, re-keyed later, straight and overtime worked out by hand.
Open a person and you can see what they can be put on and whether they are ready to be sent — the checks are read live, so a lapsed credential shows as failed the day it lapses, not the day someone notices. Their approved weeks are what bill and what pay, straight and overtime already split, with no second entry.
What changes on the job.
A bench you can actually staff from
Every person by discipline, tier, market and availability, with the minimum rate the work has to bill at — visible to the firm, not to a staffing manager who should not see the pay side.
Cleared to go, read live
The checks that must hold before a dispatch — credentials, clearances, orientation, availability, work authorization — are read straight off the record and cannot be ticked on trust; the ones a person acknowledges are set by hand.
What each person may sign for
The acts a person is authorized to perform are on the record, and a step that needs a specific authorization will not take a name that does not hold it.
Hours that split themselves
Straight and overtime per person per week, worked out against the firm's rule, not counted by hand on a Friday.
Approve a week to let it move
A week bills and pays only once a manager approves it; an unapproved or held week sits still, so nothing goes out on hours nobody signed off.
The pay side stays where it belongs
Bench rates and pay are the firm's to see. A staffing manager places people without ever seeing what they cost.
Ready to send is a fact, not a phone call.
Whether a person can go to a site is read off their own record the moment you ask — the credential that lapsed yesterday reads failed today, with no one having to remember to check.
