Tempora

Shift scheduling software for staffing agencies

🎯 Built for staffing agencies that bill clients

Never send an uncertified worker to a shift again

Tempora schedules your workers, blocks anyone whose certification is missing or expired, and turns the hours they work into client invoices, all in one place.

Everything an agency needs, from shift to invoice

Staff the shift, prove your people are qualified, and bill the client for every hour worked.

Certified workers only

Tempora stops you from assigning a worker whose required certification is missing or expired. You and the worker are both warned 30 days before anything expires.

Bill clients for every hour

Set an hourly rate per client and see billable hours by worker and site, taken from real check-ins. Export them to CSV or create a numbered invoice in one click.

Scheduling & QR check-in

Build shifts from templates and assign workers. Workers check in on site by scanning a QR code with their phone, and the hours flow straight into payroll and billing.

Still planning in Excel?

Most agencies we talk to run their week on spreadsheets and group chats. Here's what changes.

Spreadsheets and group chats

  • Evenings spent building next week's rota
  • Expired licences discovered on site
  • Last-minute cover found by phone
  • Hours retyped into invoices by hand

With Tempora

  • The week's schedule generated in minutes
  • Warnings 30 days before anything expires
  • Open shifts claimed from the app
  • Client invoices built from real check-ins

The rota is built for you

Choose the departments and the dates. Tempora fills each shift with people who are available, rested and hold the certificates that site requires, and it respects approved days off and shift preferences. You review the result, publish it, and workers see their shifts on their phones.

A drop-out is covered without phone calls

When a worker reports sick in the app, you are notified at once. Post the gap as an open shift: only qualified, available workers are told about it, and the first one to claim it is assigned.

Questions

How long does it take to get started?

Most agencies are up and running in under an hour: add your departments, import your employees from a spreadsheet, and let Tempora generate the first schedule. If you'd rather not do it yourself, we can set everything up for you.

How does automatic schedule generation work?

Pick the departments and dates, and Tempora fills the shifts with suitable employees. It respects availability, approved days off, shift preferences, required certifications and rest rules. You review the result before publishing it.

Do employees need to install an app?

No. The employee app runs in the phone's browser and can be added to the home screen. Employees see their shifts, check in and out with a QR code, set their availability, request time off and report sick leave.

What counts as an active employee?

Any worker on your roster who hasn't been deactivated. Deactivate someone who has left and they stop counting toward your limit.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime from the billing settings in your dashboard.

Do I need a card to start?

No. Register and confirm your email address, and we email you a code for 30 days of free use, without entering a card. The offer is valid until 1 November 2027. You only add a card if you decide to continue on a paid plan.
