About

Contractor admin, kept in rhythm

JN Tempo is software for recruitment agencies and the teams that work with contractors. It brings timesheets, clock records, approvals, expenses, client purchase orders and billing preparation into one place, so the cycle of recording, approving and paying for work runs to a steady beat instead of a string of reminders.

JN Tempo is a product of JN Horizon Ltd. It was previously known as JN Times.

JN Tempo

Who JN Tempo is for

  • Recruitment agencies

    Agencies placing contractors with clients, who need approved hours, client purchase orders and contractor payments to line up.

  • Teams working with contractors

    Organisations that engage contractors directly and want one place for timesheets, approvals and expenses.

  • Finance and operations

    The people who check purchase order balances, prepare what contractors are owed and hand files to payroll or accounts.

From timesheet to billing

Each step is done by the person responsible for it, and each decision is recorded.

  1. Step 1: Record

    Contractors record hours and expenses against their placement and submit them.

  2. Step 2: Approve

    The manager assigned to the contractor approves, or returns the work with a reason.

  3. Step 3: Allocate

    Approved timesheets count towards the client purchase order that covers the placement.

  4. Step 4: Prepare billing

    Admins collect approved work into a billing run, with due dates and reminders from a schedule.

  5. Step 5: Export

    Excel, PDF or a Xero bill import file goes to your finance tools. Payments are made outside JN Tempo.

Roles and permissions

  • Admins

    Run the organisation: people, assignments, placements, purchase orders, billing runs, exports and the subscription. You can have more than one.

  • Managers

    Work only with the contractors assigned to them. For each purchase order, an admin gives them no access, view-only access, or update access. They can't manage people, billing or settings.

  • Contractors

    Record and submit their own time and expenses, request clock corrections and see their own dashboard. They never see other people's records.

How we build JN Tempo

  • Describe only what works today

    The features on this site are the features in the product. When something new ships, it gets added here, not before.

  • Phones as well as desks

    Contractors record time and expenses wherever they are working, so their screens are designed for phones first.

  • Clear roles

    Admins, managers and contractors each get the view they need, and access follows the role each person has been given.

  • Plain pricing

    One plan with a published price, and optional extra capacity when you need it, all set out on the pricing page.
