Put augmented staff on the same timesheet as your team
External contributors book time to the same projects and tasks, so contribution is measured one way.
Staff augmentation adds skills when capacity changes, but it also adds a second source of timesheets. With Worktivity, external contributors track time against the same projects and tasks as your own people, so cost and delivery are measured once, the same way for everyone.
What augmented teams get out of it
One record for everyone
Contractors use the same desktop app and the same projects. There is no second spreadsheet to reconcile at the end of the month.
Rates per person
Each person has a pay rate and a bill rate. Task insights shows what their work cost and what it can be billed for, and a rate change later does not rewrite past months.
Access you can limit
Put contractors in their own team and restrict projects to the teams working on them. A manager sees their own team only.
How staff augmentation works in Worktivity
Invite contractors into their own team
They sign in to the same desktop app as everyone else. Their team decides which manager can see their records.
Restrict the projects
Set Visible to teams on each project, so a contractor only books time to the work they were brought in for.
Adjust tracking for one person
Screenshots, blurring and timelapse can be set per person, for example switched off for a contractor whose agreement does not allow them.
Block access when the contract ends
Blocking removes access at once and frees the seat. The hours they worked stay in your reports.
Features augmented teams use most
The parts of Worktivity that make the biggest difference in this scenario.
Time tracking
The same desktop app for contractors and employees, on Windows, macOS or Linux.
Task tracking
Projects limited to the teams and people who work on them, with every minute booked to a task.
Task insights
Cost, billable amount and profit per task, broken down per person.
Other use cases worth a look
Most teams recognise themselves in more than one. The platform is the same underneath.
