“The continuous


transfer of operatives between sites in order to cover


An unlikely hero


Just as the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has brought out the best in the staff of cleaning contractors, business management software is helping contractors deal with the challenges thrown at the industry by the pandemic.


At Templa, we have not only helped contractors get the best out of existing functionality to handle COVID-19 related tasks, we have been able to respond to completely new pandemic-related demands on contractors by delivering rapid software enhancements.


An example of existing functionality that has come into its own is the integrated design of our TemplaCMS workforce management software. The continuous transfer of operatives between sites in order to cover absence, staff deep cleans and respond to revised service levels, has a major effect on timesheets and pay.


This challenge has been made easier for contractors using TemplaCMS’ enhanced functionality to re-roster staff from one location to another, taking with them their pay rates and holiday entitlements, as well as automatically updating time and attendance systems, timesheets and creating consolidated payslips to reflect the changes.


It has been particularly helpful to contractors who have networked their HR, Payroll and Admin staff to work from home, meaning that both they and their field managers can continue to use TemplaCMS remotely and unhindered without having to worry about meetings, emails and phone calls to carry out the hundreds of adjustments.


absence has a major effect on timesheets and pay.”


Rick Stoor, MD at Templa, explains how the flexibility of management software has helped contractors through the turmoil of shifting staff levels during the pandemic.


Templa has also reacted promptly to support contractors through the furlough process, installing enhancements within TemplaCMS timesheets to automatically calculate furloughed staff pay based on the Government's Job Retention Scheme rules, rather than having to individually update each member of staff – again, a major chore across hundreds or even thousands


Whilst the payment of wages is receiving support, there is also a direct impact on revenues, so we have additionally provided automation to enable proportionate contract billing, where an agreed percentage payment has been negotiated with a contractor’s clients.


Templa is now on standby to respond to HMRC’s information requirements, when issued, for claiming refunds on furloughed pay. Templa will be liaising with contractors to assist with the extract of information they need to support the HMRC requirements of a claim, including employees, furlough periods, pay rates and hours worked, reconciled to each pay run, site and employee.


Of course, it is entirely appropriate that we should be able to support contractors in this way, allowing them to focus on dealing with the day-to-day challenge of COID-19. What we are proud of, however, is how the underlying structure of our software allows us to make these changes in a way that is difficult to replicate with non-integrated systems.
