Request Contract Labor Resources

Access: Users assigned the Staffing Dashboard - Action Capable role.

Through an integration with the Workforce application, users assigned the Contract Labor – Request permission can now request, review, schedule, and/or cancel contract labor personnel to fill open needs from within the Facility Scheduler application. Requests for contract labor personnel are initiated in the Staffing Dashboard. Requests are then tracked and managed in the Facility Scheduler application (Requests > Contract Labor).

Once the Workforce team identifies and submits a qualified candidate, users with the assigned permission can confirm the receipt of the candidate information, create an employee profile (if needed), schedule the candidate, or cancel the request from the Contract Labor Requests screen.
