Can I manage employees across multiple client sites?

Yes. BetterDesks is built around a client and site structure, so you can schedule, track attendance, and manage timesheets for employees working across many client locations.

Yes. BetterDesks is structured around clients and sites, which means you can manage employees working across many different client locations from a single account. Schedules, attendance records, and timesheets stay connected to the right client and site.

Detailed answer

Many shift-based businesses — staffing agencies, cleaning companies, security firms, and facility management teams — assign employees to sites they do not own. An employee might work at three different client buildings in a single week.

BetterDesks organises your operations around this structure. Each client can have one or more job sites, and each job site can have its own schedule, attendance rules, and reporting. That means you can see what is happening at each client location without losing sight of the whole workforce.

Operations managers can filter views by client or site. Schedulers can assign shifts to specific locations. Payroll admins can pull timesheet data by site or client when preparing invoices or payroll runs.

Example

A commercial cleaning company manages contracts with 20 clients. Each client has between one and five buildings, and crews rotate between sites depending on the week. The operations manager needs to see who is scheduled where, confirm attendance for each building, and approve timesheets before the billing cycle closes.

With BetterDesks, all of that lives in one place, organised by client and site, rather than across multiple spreadsheets or disconnected apps.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks connects your client list, job sites, employee schedules, attendance records, and timesheets so that every piece of information is linked to the right location. Managers spend less time chasing down data and more time running the operation.
