Implementation Lays Groundwork for Success

Manpower of Central Illinois became a TempWorks Software client in August of 2016. Transitioning staffing agency data from one software platform to another can be incredibly challenging for many staffing agencies. For a staffing agency’s success upon software launch and for the continued success of the staffing business, it’s crucial to ensure that the data is extracted and mapped correctly. Manpower’s data extraction and implementation process was particularly challenging; however, due to the persistence and tenacity of the TempWorks team, Manpower of Central Illinois was able to go live with all the data that they needed to continue operations on schedule and without delay.

“The TempWorks leadership and implementation team worked endlessly to make sure that they were able to extract the data in a usable format that we really needed to move forward. Working directly with Manpower corporate, they were tenacious about getting it done and getting it done right for us,” says Frank Wood, Franchise Partner at Manpower of Central Illinois. “I’ve been consistently impressed with how TempWorks has been able to meet needs of its Manpower franchise clients and customize software features and reports to make sure it fits with the Manpower operating procedures.”

 

In October of 2017, Manpower of Central Illinois signed up for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit integration with Clarus Solutions, which is directly integrated into the TempWorks system. Previously, Manpower had always performed this function in house. The end of 2018 marked the first full tax year with the Clarus integration and Manpower of Central Illinois tripled the amount of tax credits that they received. In addition, the direct integration made the whole process easy and painless.

Payroll Processing Services Reduce Risk and Worry

Manpower of Central Illinois also leverages the payroll processing services through TempWorks Software. With TempWorks taking care of all payroll processing tasks, this has helped to reduce the risk of missing payroll or internal staff making potential errors that would result in late paychecks to temporary employees. By having TempWorks perform the payroll processing functions, it also saves the management time it would take to oversee an internal payroll staff, including having a back-up plan for staff turnover or absences.

“With TempWorks handling our payroll, I no longer worry about my temporary employees getting paid on time or have to figure out how to cover staff turnover or vacation times,” says Wood. “Throughout our time as a TempWorks client, the customer service and customization that TempWorks has provided has always impressed me. From senior leadership to account management to software support, the TempWorks team has been open, flexible and willing to put in the extra time to make sure the software fits our process to help us operate more efficiently.”
