Zoho Workerly From Client Request to Approved Timesheet
Organise workers, client jobs and schedules in one place. We configure Zoho Workerly around your staffing operation, with clear assignments, availability and timesheet ownership.
We connect approved hours with billing and payroll handovers, agree how shifts and exceptions are reviewed by the team, and give finance clearer records of the work completed.

Why Temporary Staffing Becomes Hard to Coordinate
Temporary staffing depends on timely, coordinated updates. Client requests, worker availability and shift changes are difficult to manage across spreadsheets and messages.
We connect Workerly assignments and approved work records. Clear responsibilities and timesheet checks reduce repeated work and help workers, clients and finance complete billing handovers.

One Connected Journey From Request to Completed Work
A client requests temporary staff, your team checks suitability and availability, and workers receive assignment details. Completed hours then move through the agreed timesheet review process.
We configure that journey so schedules, responses and approved records remain connected, giving consultants and finance a clearer basis for their next steps.
Make Temporary Staffing Easier to Coordinate
Zoho Workerly supports temp records, scheduling, time tracking and client approvals. We configure the features your agency needs and test the process against realistic assignments and exceptions.

Billing & Payroll Handover
Maintain the worker details needed for temporary assignments, with availability and record ownership clear so consultants have a useful starting point for suitability checks.
- Agree required fields and source records.
- Prepare skills and availability information.
- Define access and update responsibilities.
For example, a staffing consultant needs to find workers available for an assignment. We agree which contact, availability and relevant work details belong in the temp record, then test the supported setup. The consultant checks availability and the required eligibility information before proposing a worker. Record owners maintain changes, keeping the shortlist useful for the actual assignment.
Capture each client assignment as a clear job brief, with location, timing and requirements agreed so the consultant can coordinate the next staffing action.
- Agree job details and client contacts.
- Record relevant location and scheduling needs.
- Define who checks changes.
For example, a client requests temporary cover for a defined shift. We structure the job details around location, timings, requirements and the consultant responsible for filling it. We agree the role, location, timing and receiving consultant before configuring the job. Missing requirements are clarified with the client before a worker is booked against assumptions.
Help consultants assess available workers against a client requirement so supported matching tools inform rather than replace assignment decisions.
- Configure relevant search criteria.
- Check availability and recorded suitability.
- Retain the required human checks.
For example, several temps appear suitable for a new client job. We assess the available matching tools and define the information the consultant must review, including relevant availability and eligibility checks. The consultant checks suitability against the actual job and records the decision. Missing or outdated evidence is followed up rather than treating a suggested match as an assignment.
Keep temporary assignments and schedule changes organised, with clear responsibility for updating details and confirming the next step with clients and the workers involved.
- Configure relevant jobs and shifts.
- Agree change and conflict handling.
- Test worker notifications and responses.
For example, a client changes the start time of an agreed assignment. We configure the available scheduling process and agree who updates the job and informs the worker. We update the supported schedule and confirm the change with the worker and client. The consultant checks outstanding responses so everyone follows the revised arrangement.
Give temps practical access to their relevant work through available portal or mobile options so assignments and questions have an understandable route.
- Configure available portal or app access.
- Agree how workers respond to assignments.
- Test access and information visibility.
For example, a temp needs to view an assignment and submit the relevant work record. We test the supported portal or mobile journey with a representative worker and agree what they can access. We test the available worker journey and agree which information is visible. The agency checks incomplete submissions and keeps sensitive client or worker details within the intended access.
Capture worked hours through the available timesheet process, with clear evidence requirements and reviewers checking records before approval or finance handover.
- Agree suitable recording methods.
- Configure required timesheet information.
- Test missing entries and corrections.
For example, a temp completes a shift and records the hours worked. We configure the supported timesheet process and define which details and evidence the agency requires. The assigned reviewer checks missing details and disputed hours before approval. The worker can see what needs correction, while finance receives an agreed record of the completed shift.
Route submitted hours to the appropriate client reviewer through available approval tools, with disputed entries returned for correction before finance relies on the agreed record.
- Agree agency and client review responsibilities.
- Configure available approval options.
- Test rejection and resubmission.
For example, a client supervisor needs to confirm a temp’s submitted hours. We assess supported approval options, identify the authorised reviewer and test accepted, rejected and missing responses. We configure the available approval route and agree how disputed entries return for correction. Approved hours remain identifiable, with unresolved records held for a named reviewer.
Prepare approved staffing records for invoicing and payroll-provider handovers so finance specialists can review and reconcile the transferred information.
- Scope invoicing and payroll export requirements.
- Agree rate mappings and checks.
- Test totals and duplicate prevention.
For example, approved timesheets need to support client invoicing and a payroll-provider handover. We agree the required fields, rates, record references and receiving owners, then test supported exports or connections. We check supported transfers, references and receiving responsibilities before testing. Finance reconciles the hours and handles exceptions so one approval does not imply every later process completed.
Reporting That Explains Your Staffing Position

Connect Staffing With Finance and the Wider Business
Approved work records should support a clear finance handover. We scope invoicing connections with Zoho Books, relevant document workflows with Zoho Sign and the wider Zoho One ecosystem.
Payroll exports are assessed against your provider and required fields. Our payroll systems approach makes the country and provider requirements clear; Workerly is not assumed to calculate payroll or handle local statutory filings.

What is Zoho Workerly used for?
Zoho Workerly is designed for temporary staffing agencies. It helps organise temps, clients, jobs, schedules, timesheets and related billing handovers.
Is Workerly the same as a general HR system?
No. Workerly focuses on temporary staffing operations. We assess whether you need Workerly, an employee HR system such as Zoho People, or another scheduling approach.

Workerly provides worker portal and mobile options. We configure available access and test how temps view assignments, respond and submit work records.

Workerly supports agency and client timesheet review options. We agree the approval route and test rejected, corrected and resubmitted records.
Can Workerly support client invoicing?
We assess the available invoicing process and Zoho Books connection, agreeing how approved hours and rates are checked before invoices are created.

Workerly can support payroll data exports, but it should not be treated as a payroll calculation or statutory filing system. We assess the country requirements and handover to your chosen payroll provider.
