Job Contracts, Monthly Timesheets and Invoices connect contract setup, worked-time tracking, monthly approval, and invoice generation inside ATZ CRM. The update helps teams reduce spreadsheet handoffs and move from placement activity to billing with fewer manual steps.
What changed
What this update changes
ATZ CRM added a connected workflow for job contracts, monthly timesheets, and invoices. Recruiters and staffing operators can manage the commercial side of contract work without separating placement data from billing data.
A contract can capture the structure of the assignment, while timesheets help summarize worked time for the month. Once time is reviewed and approved, invoicing can move forward with clearer supporting information.
This update is a natural extension of the December shifts and timesheets release. Shifts help manage the work that happens day to day; the January contract and billing flow helps teams handle the broader assignment and monthly billing cycle.
For agencies that bill clients based on contract work, this reduces the need to reconcile information across spreadsheets, emails, timesheet PDFs, and separate accounting handoffs before creating an invoice.
Why it matters
Why it matters to recruiters
Recruiters are often measured on speed, quality, and follow-through. This update is designed to reduce manual work, protect useful context, and help teams keep hiring activity moving with fewer handoffs.
Fewer billing mistakes
A structured flow reduces the chance of missed days, disconnected approvals, or invoice details that do not match the assignment.
Faster monthly invoicing
Approved time can move into invoice preparation more smoothly because the supporting records are already tied together.
Better visibility for contract work
Teams can understand how a contract is progressing, what has been submitted, and what is ready for approval or billing.
Before and after
How the workflow changes
Before
Contract details, worked hours, monthly approvals, and invoices often lived in separate tools or manual spreadsheets.
After
ATZ CRM connects those steps so teams can manage the workflow from contract setup through invoice generation.
Before
Recruiters had to gather proof of work and billing details before finance or operations could invoice confidently.
After
Monthly timesheets and invoices can be generated from a more connected record trail.
Before
Client billing review was slower when the job, candidate, contract, and time data were scattered.
After
The related data sits closer together, making review and approval easier to support.
How recruiters use it
How the workflow works
The exact setup depends on your workspace and permissions, but the core workflow is built to keep recruiters closer to the record, the next action, and the right team context.
1
Set up the contract under the job
Capture the contract terms, schedule, pay and bill context, dates, and other assignment details your team needs.
2
Track work through shifts and timesheets
Use shift bookings and timesheet entries to record the work completed during the contract period.
3
Review monthly timesheets
Use the monthly view to check the submitted time, confirm the billing period, and prepare the record for approval.
4
Generate the invoice
Create the invoice from approved time so the billing document is tied back to the contract and placement context.
5
Use the record for follow-up
Keep notes, approval status, and billing activity connected so recruiters, managers, and operations teams can review the same context.
Best fit
