How it works
From the first clock-in to an approved, exportable timesheet.
Contractors clock in and out or enter their hours for the week, with breaks, from any device.
They submit the timesheet and any expenses with receipts. Missing submissions are easy to spot.
The assigned manager sees everything waiting in one queue, with the detail needed to check it.
Approve, or return with a reason. Approved work counts towards purchase orders and is ready for billing runs and exports.
Features
Every feature here is in the product today.
Timesheet periods follow each placement, weekly or monthly, with hours by day and project.
Server-timed clock records with breaks, and a correction request when something needs fixing.
One approval queue per manager, with a reason recorded whenever a timesheet is returned.
Categories, amounts and receipt uploads, reviewed by the same manager as the timesheets.
Record client purchase orders, link the placements they cover and see what approved work has used and what remains, with warnings near the limit or end date.
Billing runs built from approved timesheets at the rate recorded on approval, with schedules, cutoffs and due dates. JN Tempo prepares the figures; it doesn't transfer payments.
Admins get one reminder email per billing period. Managers hear about new submissions, contractors hear about decisions, and timesheet reminders go out in one click.
Excel, PDF and CSV exports, plus a Xero bill import file you upload to Xero yourself. There's no direct connection to Xero, and exports follow each role's access.
Admins, managers and contractors each see figures for the records they can access. Arrange your own widgets; every figure says what it counts and which dates it covers.
Short statements of the key figures, calculated by JN Tempo with their reporting period and the records behind them. Optional AI wording isn't switched on yet.
Invite contractors, managers and additional administrators by email, at no extra cost. People add their own details; the role and assignments you chose stay fixed.
Filter timesheets and expenses by person, client, placement, status, dates and amounts. Totals stay separate by currency.
Build reports from approved fields, preview them and export to Excel or PDF. Templates are private to the person who saved them.
Record engagement type, payment arrangement and IR35 status per placement, visible only to admins, with a change history. JN Tempo records them; it doesn't decide them.
Each person sees only what their role allows. Managers work only with their assigned contractors, and key actions are logged.
For every role
Contractor admin. Finally in rhythm.
Looking after your data
How JN Tempo handles the information your agency trusts it with.
Each organisation's records are separated in the database with row-level security, and what each person can see follows their role.
Subscription card details are entered on Stripe's own pages. JN Tempo doesn't store card numbers or move money.
Submissions, approvals, rejections and changes to contractors and placements are written to an audit log admins can export.
The Terms and Conditions, Privacy Notice and Data Processing Agreement are published before you sign up.
Read the Privacy Notice and Data Processing Agreement.

FAQ
Recruitment agencies and teams that work with contractors. Admins run the organisation, purchase orders and billing preparation, managers review and approve work, and contractors record their time and expenses.
Each new organisation gets 14 days of free access for up to 20 contractor accounts, with every feature included. You don't need a card to start. The trial begins when you verify your email and your organisation is created, and your dashboard shows exactly when it ends. There is one free trial per business.
JN Tempo is locked for your organisation until an admin activates a subscription (£79 a month or £799 a year) from the Billing page. Your records aren't deleted when access is locked, and access returns as soon as Stripe confirms the subscription. We email your admins 3 days and 1 day before the trial ends.
The core plan costs £79 a month, or £799 a year billed annually, and includes 20 contractor accounts with every feature listed on this page.
On the monthly plan, add contractor capacity in packs of 20 for £25 a month each. The extra capacity is available once the payment is confirmed, and you can add more packs as you grow. Packs can't yet be added to an annual plan, so email us if you need more contractors on one.
Weekly and monthly. The period is set per placement, and contractors can clock in and out or enter hours directly.
Yes. JN Tempo runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, and the contractor screens are designed for phones first. There is no app to download.
Create your account and verify your email: your 14-day free trial starts straight away, with no approval step and no card. A short setup guide then helps you confirm your organisation details and add your first contractor and manager.
An admin invites them by email. They open the link, set their own password and add their details in a few short steps. They can't change the role, organisation or assignments the admin chose, and invitation links work once and expire.
Yes. Admins choose a dataset, columns, filters and grouping, preview the result and export it to Excel or PDF. Reports use an approved list of fields, sensitive fields are left out unless an admin adds them, and templates are private to the person who saved them.
No. JN Tempo prepares billing information: billing runs from approved timesheets, payment due dates, reminders and export files. Your organisation makes payments outside JN Tempo. Payment status is whatever an admin records, and JN Tempo doesn't check it with a bank.
Not directly. A billing run can be exported as a CSV file laid out for Xero's bill import, which you upload to Xero yourself after adding your account code, tax rate and supplier names. Try it in Xero's demo company first. Excel and PDF exports are available too.
Admins record each client purchase order with its value, currency and dates, and link the placements it covers. Approved timesheets on those placements count towards it at the rate recorded when they were approved, and JN Tempo warns you as the order nears its limit or end date. PO PDFs are stored privately.
Managers work only with the contractors an admin assigns to them: they review and approve timesheets, expenses and clock corrections, send reminders and export their contractors' records. They see a purchase order only if an admin shares it, with view-only or update access, and they can't manage people, billing or organisation settings.
Yes. An admin can invite other administrators by email at no extra cost. Administrators have full access, including subscription billing, and your organisation always keeps at least one active administrator.
Dashboard summaries are calculated by JN Tempo itself. An optional button can ask Claude (Anthropic) to reword them, but it isn't switched on yet. Once it is, only the figures, purchase order numbers and dates in the summary are sent: never names, notes, documents, bank or supplier details.
No. Admins can record a placement's engagement type, payment arrangement and IR35 status for their own reference. JN Tempo stores what you enter, shows it only to admins and keeps a history of changes. It does not work out, suggest or certify anyone's status.
Email [email protected] and the JN Horizon team will get back to you.
Yes, at any time from the Billing page. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. When you cancel, access continues until the end of the period you've paid for, and partial billing periods are not refunded, as set out in the Terms and Conditions.
