Safe Tempest News

There is a current buzz growing about a new event for recruiters which will be held on the 14 and 15 February in Olympia, central London. It is currently rumoured that there has not been a show of this type and scale specifically for the recruitment sector for some years. Market leaders who build and supply around half the top 50 UK recruitment businesses with Safe Tempest software, Safe Computing, will be there, exhibiting near the entrance to the show.

Safe are pleased to announce that CBSbutler has just signed a deal for the installation of Safe’s Tempest suite of software for the staffing sector.  The deal includes Pay and Bill, e-time, e-expenses and our mobile time capture solution.  The agreement means the company joins over half the UK’s top 50 recruitment companies who are already Safe Computing customers.

Safe Computing, the developers of market leading Safe Tempest software, has unveiled a new cloud based solution for recruiters and buyers of temporary labour. Safe Time can be used by recruitment agencies to manage on-site recruitment operations or enable recruiters to provide neutral vendor services in the market.  Alternatively, it can also be used by companies who employ temporary labour to directly manage and coordinate the recruitment suppliers they use and monitor AWR compliance for the temps they employ.

Safe are pleased to announce that SWIIS has just signed a deal for the installation of Safe’s Front Office and web portal software for the staffing sector.  The deal includes Safe’s fully AWR ready Front Office solution, e-time, e-expenses and our mobile time capture solution.  The agreement is in addition to the current Safe solutions used by SWIIS, which includes Pay and Bill, Scanning and HR and Payroll technology.

International recruiter Omega Resource Group plc has recently invested in the Safe Tempest and Safe AWR software solution.

Safe Computing, a leading software and services provider, today unveiled more details of a new service for their customers. Starting with current Safe Tempest customers, whose users stem largely from the recruitment sector, Safe Business Intelligence will provide one BI platform in your staffing business that covers front, middle, and back office, whether or not you happen to be using the front or back office solution from Safe.  Ultimately the aim is to extend this service to all Safe software customers. ‘We have developed the solution initially around middle office pay and bill, and plan then to extend it out to front and back office components of our suite, but whilst doing this we have created development opportunities available in our BI solution to populate it with data from other front and back office solutions, commercial director for Safe, Jason Martin, commented.

Since 2009, Elan UK has been running an almost completely online middle and back office service for all its UK customers and contractors. This includes online portals from Safe covering e-time capture and authorisation, statements, invoicing and reporting. During 2010 Elan worked with Safe to develop and then start to deploy international pay and bill technology across the European region, which included multi-language and multi-currency versions of the UK portal platform. The portals, which link back to a single international pay and bill platform in London, are presented in local language to the client and contractor end users. The first countries designated for roll out in Q1 2011 include Germany, France and Spain. During this process, Elan will also be rolling out the Safe mobile version of these portals, allowing contractors to capture time on a mobile device and for clients to then authorise that time from whichever mobile products they use.

From April the rules regarding paternity leave and pay are changing. Are you ready? HMRC are currently adapting their paternity pay and leave allowances to give new parents greater flexibility and equality for whom in the family will stay at home with the new family addition. Additional statutory paternity pay (ASPP) and additional statutory paternity leave (ASPL) are the new names for these new systems that will be added where the baby is due or due to be adopted on or after 3rd April 2011. From that date, ASPP will augment Ordinary Statutory Paternity Pay which is unchanged by this change to Parental Leave rules.
