Using the Allocate StaffDirect portal
What is Allocate StaffDirect?
Allocate StaffDirect is the direct engagement portal we as your agency use to submit your timesheets, so the trust you are working with can make direct payments to you.
We need to set you up an account with Allocate StaffDirect before you start your placement with the trust. To set you up, you will firstly receive an email from our team detailing the required documents we need from you. These documents will need to be completed and returned to us prior to commencing your first shift with the trust.
