1. Overview

TemporaryWork Management transforms Dolibarr into a full professional platform dedicated to temporary-work agencies. It covers the entire staffing lifecycle — from sourcing and qualifying candidates, to receiving client requests, matching the right worker to the right assignment, running temporary missions, capturing timesheets, producing temporary payroll, billing clients and analysing performance through advanced business-intelligence reporting.

The module unifies commercial CRM, recruitment, mission operations, contract management, time tracking, payroll and financial billing inside a single, coherent workspace, while reusing the native Dolibarr foundations for third parties, contacts, agenda, projects, quotes, orders, invoices, payments and the document management system.

Who is it for?

The module is designed for temporary-work, interim and staffing agencies of any size that need to industrialise their operations:

·       Interim and staffing agencies placing temporary workers with client companies.

·       Recruitment and staffing firms managing large candidate pools and skill catalogues.

·       HR and operations teams coordinating missions, contracts, timesheets and payroll.

·       Commercial teams tracking client requests and converting them into billed missions.

·       Jobs — trade / skill repository with indicative rates and certifications.

·       Temp workers — candidates and interim workers with full profiles.

·       Timesheet lines — daily detail feeding each timesheet.

·       Absences — leave and absence requests with validation.

·       Temporary payroll — gross-to-net pay and employer cost.

·       Evaluations — client and agency feedback and scoring.

·       Suppliers & partners — recruitment firms, trainers, occupational medicine.

·       Matchings — stored worker-to-request scoring results.

Native Dolibarr integration

TemporaryWork Management is a first-class Dolibarr module that reuses the native ERP foundations rather than duplicating them:

·       Third parties and contacts — clients and partners are native Dolibarr companies.

·       Agenda — events and reminders for missions and follow-ups.

·       Projects — optional project linkage for structured engagements.

·       Quotes, orders and invoices — native commercial and billing documents.

·       Payments — native Dolibarr payment tracking and accounting.

·       Document management system (DMS) — native storage for all attachments.

Multilingual

The interface is fully translated and ships in five languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian and German.

Security & permissions

·       Granular permissions per right group (client, worker, job, order, mission, assignment, contract, time, payroll, reporting, admin) with read / write / delete rights.

·       CSRF protection on all forms and actions, following Dolibarr security standards.

·       Multi-entity aware: every object carries an entity for multi-company installations.

·       Standard Dolibarr access control (accessforbidden) enforced on every page.

Daily automation engine

A daily automation engine keeps the workspace consistent without manual effort:

·       Refresh of client aggregate counters (missions, workers, revenue).

·       Automatic closing of missions that have reached their end date.

·       Expiry alerts for contracts and worker documents.

Demonstration dataset

A realistic French staffing-agency demonstration dataset can be loaded in one click and removed just as easily. It populates every object — clients, partners, jobs, workers across all pipeline stages, requests, missions, assignments, contracts, timesheets, absences, payroll, evaluations and matchings — with fully coherent relationships, so the whole solution can be explored immediately.

 

4. User Guide — Getting Started

The following steps walk through a typical end-to-end workflow, from installing the module to billing a mission and analysing results.

1.     Install and enable the module. Deploy the ZIP (or copy the folder into custom/) and enable TemporaryWork Management in Home → Setup → Modules.

2.     Load the demonstration data. Open the module Configuration page and click “Load demonstration data” to populate a realistic dataset for exploration.

3.     Create a client company. In Client companies, create a new client (linked to a native third party), set its sector and commercial terms.

4.     Register a worker. In Temp workers, add a candidate or interim worker, complete the profile, skills, documents and availability.

5.     Open a client request. In Client requests, record a new staffing demand with positions, dates, hours and required skills; track it on the request pipeline.

6.     Run the matching engine. From the request, launch Smart matching to score and rank the best available workers on skills, experience, location, availability and salary.

7.     Create a mission. Convert the accepted request into a temporary mission, assign the selected worker and set the hourly rate, cost and coefficient.

8.     Capture timesheets. Record worked hours (normal, overtime, night, absence) per period and validate the timesheet.

9.     Bill the client. From Billing, turn validated timesheets and missions into native Dolibarr invoices; register payments in Dolibarr.

10.  Report and analyse. Use the Reporting suite and the dashboard to monitor workforce, revenue, margin and occupancy, and export to CSV / Excel / PDF.
