Vincere automatically creates 2 types of draft invoices (Sales invoice & Purchase invoice) for you to review and take action when:
A Permanent placement is made; invoice created based on placement details
TimeTemp time-sheets are approved; invoice created based on timesheet details ( more about this in #5: TimeTemp v1.4

2. Contract Renewal Management
If you manage Temps and Contractors, this is a feature youāll love. Weāre giving you the ability to manage contracts throughout their lifecycle - from contract generation through to renewal and/or termination.Ā
Hereās what you can do:
ā Ability to renew contracts
Renewing the contract extends the application and placement date.Ā
ā Ability to terminate contracts
Terminating a contract allows you to change the end date as termination date and sends the candidate a termination email.
ā Track & filter by Renewal Status | Renewal Stage

3. Approval Process | Offers
Want your offers to be approved before they are sent out? Weāve got that covered in this release.Ā
Before users can send offers to a candidate, the chosen approver will need to approve the offer either via email or inside Vincere. After the offer has been approved, users can go ahead and proceed forward to send the finalised offer to the candidate!
Hereās what weāve added:
ā Option to enable offer approval workflowsĀ
If you need an approval stage? Turn on the Approval workflow in Admin Settings. From there, youāll be able to select users as default approvers.

5. TimeTemp v1.4Ā
We've added a bunch of upgrades and enhancements to TimeTemp - our integrated online timesheet module:
Scheduler
This is the first dashboard users see when they log into TimeTemp, whether you're a Recruiter, Manager (your client) or Employee (your candidate). The Scheduler gives an instant overview of the work schedule and shifts:
contract not started
working days
public holidays
leave pending
leave approvedĀ
not rostered
As Recruiter Admin, you'll be able to filter by Groups ( Brands | Divisions| Teams), by Job and calendar views ( Week | Month ) - this is your entire workforce visualised on one screen.
You can also use the search bar to quickly look and jump to a selected candidate or employee.
ā
Leave Management
Your Temp/Contract workers will be able to request for leave days in TimeTemp - holiday, sick and vacation days. Once a request is made, the Manager will be notified via email to take action: approve or reject.
"Can I configure the type of leave & set leave limits?"
ā
Yes, you can! From the Compensation & Fees tab on a Job, you'll be able define the Paid Time Off settings and this information will pull through to TimeTemp for calculations.
Your Temp/Contract workers will be able to request for leave based on leave type you've set and get an idea of how many leave days have been used/left whenever they apply for leave. This information is also displayed on the dashboard.
Un approve Timesheet | Recruiter Admin
We've enabled a new superpower for Recruiter Admins - un-approve timesheets.
Invoicing for Temp/Contract JobsĀ
Once Timesheets are approved, TimeTemp sends the information back to Vincere and invoices will be automatically created based on the details of the approved timesheet. Don't worry, nothing gets sent out without your approval. Vincere only creates draft invoices which will be waiting for you to review and edit in our Invoicing module. Say goodbye to messy calculations and tedious data entry jobs.
6. Timeclock (Beta) for TimeTemp
If you use TimeTemp, Timeclock is an add-on youāll love that will help you manage your Temp workforce effortlessly.
Time clock is a clocking and attendance app that syncs with TimeTemp, compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Dock this at your front door or reception area for seamless management of your employees. Timeclock displays a branded welcome screen for 2 types of users:
For your workers/employees: users can clock-in using QR code or 4-digit PIN. Shifts are recorded automatically and synced to timesheets.
If the user is a guest, Timeclock allows your guest to register and an email notification will be sent to someone on your team to receive the guest.
āļøHeads-up:
Stay tuned because in the next release, weāll be rolling out a mobile app for TimeTemp so your temp workers will be able to use TimeTemp right in the palm of their hands:
Clock-in / out of shifts
View present timesheet: hours scheduled v.s. hours worked
