Who pays fees and when?

Training centres do not pay anything — agencies pay a simple 2% platform fee on signed timesheets only. No upfront costs, monthly minimums, or hidden charges. Agencies handle their own fees separately.

Can any agency see our requests?

No, only agencies in your approved network can see and respond. You maintain full control over which partners access your requirements.

What if a timesheet needs correcting?

Timesheets can be amended before final sign-off. Both the worker and the approving manager can request changes, with full audit trails maintained for compliance.

Do you support trials?

Yes, we offer a 30-day trial with full platform access. No setup fees or commitments — you only pay the 2% fee on completed shifts during the trial.
