Our system can help to reduce costs and can aid compliance with legislation by improving the management and retention of temporary workers.
Using our bespoke portal provides you with a transparent and effective solution that gives you the benefits of:
Consolidated invoicing to reduce the time for your administration and accounts departments; contractors paid weekly
Our paperless timesheet system reduces the risk of timesheet and expenses fraud
Automatic tracking and reporting of financial and personnel data and statistics
Fast and efficient solution for key initiatives or projects
Online payroll system
FRAME provides you with a payroll system that is accessed through our online portal and provides instant access to contractors’ documentation and timesheets. Contractors can enter hours and overtime worked which also alerts their line manager that there are timesheets awaiting their approval.
The paperless system ensures that contractors are paid on time and mitigates the risk of timesheet fraud. Line managers can also use the system to track financial data and the cost of contractors.

Our contract recruitment consultants ensure they are speaking with their contractors on a regular basis ensuring any feedback on their current contract or changes in circumstances is fed back to the employer.
