Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the system take to implement?

Implementation usually takes around four weeks. The whole implementation is overseen by our team and follows a tried-and-tested pattern. 

How does Direct Engagement work?

DirectEngagement provides a neutral technology platform to allow organisations to pay temporary staff directly by an organisations payroll or by AllocatePay (instead of by the agencies). 

The agency is then paid commission separately by the organisation. The platform handles all your cost-centre information, grades and finance codes pay rates and job roles.
