Why contractor management gets harder as you grow

Contractors come with a steady stream of admin: contracts, onboarding, timesheets, payroll inputs, questions and exits. The bigger your contract workforce, the more of your HR, finance and operations teams' time it takes up.

We take that work off your hands. We set up a clear process, gather and check the information that's needed, and give both you and your contractors one point of contact.

Whether you already have a contract team or need to build one for a new project, we design the service around how your business works.

What contractor management includes

Payroll administration and wider employment arrangements for contractors are scoped separately. We agree who is responsible for what before work begins.

Contractor sourcing and placement

We find the right people for fixed-term, project and other contract roles, or take over the management of a contract team you already have.

Onboarding and paperwork

We arrange agreements, required records, assignment details and induction, so each contractor starts ready to work.

Time, attendance and leave

We collect and check timesheets and leave, and get your managers' approval before anything goes to payroll.

Payroll administration

We prepare and reconcile approved payroll inputs and coordinate processing as agreed with you.

Day-to-day HR support and reporting

We handle routine contractor questions and work with your managers on attendance, performance and other people matters. You get regular workforce updates, a log of open actions and a clear route to escalate anything that needs attention.

Offboarding

We manage the end of each assignment, the final paperwork and the last payroll inputs.

Discuss this

Less admin for your internal team, a clear view of your contract workforce, and one consistent process from a contractor's first day to their last.

What is contractor management, and why outsource it?

Contractor management is the day-to-day running of a contract workforce: onboarding, time and attendance, leave, payroll inputs, queries, reporting and offboarding. Outsourcing it to LynneWaters gives you one accountable partner for that administration, so your managers can focus on the work itself.

Can you source contractors as well as manage them?

Yes. We can find contractors for a new project or requirement, take over the management of an existing contract team, or do both. Contractors we source are screened against your requirements before they start.

Do you handle payroll for contractors?

We prepare and reconcile approved payroll inputs, such as timesheets and leave, and coordinate processing. Payroll administration and wider employment arrangements for contractors are scoped separately, and we agree who is responsible for what before work begins.

Who do contractors contact with questions?

LynneWaters is their first point of contact for day-to-day matters such as onboarding documents, timesheets, leave and general HR queries. We resolve routine questions ourselves and bring in your managers when a decision is needed.

How do we keep visibility of our contract workforce?

You receive regular workforce updates and reporting, and we keep a log of open actions with clear escalation routes. You always know what is happening, what is outstanding and what needs your decision.
