After the Candidate has been booked into the Contract Job, Adapt will automatically put a reminder into the user's Tasks. This reminder will pop up on the start date of the booking to remind the user to run the ‘Contract Check In’ action.

From the Candidate record Profile page, ‘Assignments’ section, select the relevant assignment link to open the Contract Assignment record.

Issue Contract

This is run from the Contract Assignment and the Contract Assignment Extension records and generates a contract document to be sent to the candidate. The document includes invoice frequency and estimated contract value.

  • Select the contract ‘type’ from the list of templates available and send the document via email or by post. Further contract templates can be added by the System Administrator.

Note: The user can send a Contract and/or a Booking Form at the point of filling the Job, rather than subsequently here from the Assignment record.

Contract Docs Sent Back

Once the user has received the signed contract, it should be recorded in Adapt.

  • Select the ‘Contract Sent Back’ action from the activities menu: 

  • Enter in the date that the documents were received and the signed date. Add any notes into the Journal Notes section. 

  • Click on Confirm.

  • The Assignment record will be updated with the 'Contract Signed Date'. 

Contract Check In

The Contract Check-In workflow verifies that the Contractor has started on their first day and starts time accruing on the AWR clock.

  • The 'Check-In' workflow needs to be run on the Candidate's first day. Select ‘Check In’ from the Activities menu on the Assignment record:

  • The following message will appear advising that the accrued weeks from other Agencies have not yet been verified. Click OK. 

  • If the contractor has worked for the same client in the same role, but with a different agency, please enter the number of weeks. Any weeks entered will be added to the Contractors AWR clock. The 'Verified' field denotes whether the weeks have been verified by the other agency.

  • Add any relevant notes into the Journal Notes section.

  • Click on Confirm.

  • The status of the Assignment record will be updated to ‘Current’ from ‘Future’. The Candidate record will now have a status of 'Temping for Us' (this can be checked on the Candidate Profile page).

Note: The following message may appear advising the user that the qualifying weeks have not yet been verified:

  • Click OK.

Change Assignment Dates

User can amend the dates of the assignment if required.

  • Click on the ‘Change Dates’ action from the Activities menu.

  • Enter a New Start Date and/or a New End Date.

  • A warning message appears if the user changes the dates of the assignment, or unbooks the assignment, where timesheets exist that would fall outside of the new assignment dates. If the start date is set back, and the assignment is already checked in, a warning message will also be displayed.

  • Select the method of sending the documentation using the Send Docs By field. Choose the address if sending by post. Users can select the No Docs option if notifying the Candidate/Contact by telephone. 

  • Make any relevant notes in the Journal Notes section.

  • The user can extend a booking even if the candidate has an interview during the extension period. The user is warned before the workflow completes.

  • Click on Confirm.

Users can also use the activity Change Dates to change Contract Assignment Extension Dates.

Unbook Assignment

  • To unbook the Contractor from the Assignment, select the ‘Unbook’ action from the Activities menu.

  • Enter a New End Date for the Assignment. 

  • A warning message appears if the user changes the dates of the assignment where timesheets exist that would fall outside of the new assignment dates, or tries to unbook the assignment where timesheets already exist.

  • Enter any relevant notes in the Journal Notes section.

  • Click on Confirm.

  • Select the 'Contract to Perm' action from the Activities menu of the Assignment record:

  • Complete the details for Salary and Start Date (mandatory fields are highlighted in red), then select Confirm.

  • Select the method of sending the documentation within the Send Docs By field. Choose the address if sending by Post.

Change Assignment Rates

Users can select up to 4 Consultants to share the split. Enter the percentage of the split each Consultant will receive.

Make any relevant notes in the Journal Notes section and click on Confirm.
