When you arrange for a contractor to undertake a job, or fulfil a particular role for a client, you are creating what is known as a placement.

A placement defines:

• Who is doing the work.
• Which client the work is being carried out for.
• Which consultant is responsible for the work.
• Who, within the client organisation, is managing the contractor.
• The rates of pay and charge.
• The types of expense that can be claimed.
• The approval route to be followed for timesheets and expenses.

In RSM InTime, therefore, a placement associates the following entities with each other:

• Consultant
• Contractor
• Client
• Manager

A summary of each placement can be viewed within RSM InTime.  An example of this is shown below.

The following information is shown:

• Information about who is involved in the placement
