Staffing Agency Automation: Onboarding and Timesheets

• Paperwork delays slow down placements and frustrate workers and clients.
• Send onboarding forms and e-signatures automatically when an offer is accepted.
• Form I-9 must be completed within three business days of the start date.
• Background checks need written consent under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
• Collect timesheets digitally, check them against schedules and route them for client approval.
• Send approved hours to payroll and billing with exceptions flagged for people.

This guide covers staffing agency automation for onboarding and timesheets: onboarding steps, forms and e-signatures, employment eligibility, background checks, reminders and expirations, timesheet collection, checks and approvals, payroll and billing, exceptions and what to measure. Put plainly: automate the paperwork, keep people on the decisions and connect hours to payroll without retyping.
