All Temp Jobs will be created and administered in TempBuddy as your workforce management system.

When a Job record is created in TempBuddy, it will create a ‘Read Only’ Temp Shift Job record in Adapt, linked to the Client and corresponding Contact. Corresponding Shift records, Rate Time Definitions and a 'Rate Matrix' will also be created.
Important: This is a one-way event from TempBuddy to Adapt. No Temp Shift Jobs created in Adapt will be passed to TempBuddy.

The Temp Shift Job record in Adapt is for reporting and payroll purposes only. No Adapt fields can be updated and therefore no updates passed to TempBuddy.
