Compliance

Expired compliance will stop you from booking shifts, so it’s important that you’re able to access these documents.  

ipoint allows you to view all your current, expiring and expired compliance documents so you never lose a day of work. To update your compliance, you can email or call us from the app.  

Timesheets

You’re now able to submit timesheets for certain clients via our ipoint app. The process is quick and easy for you to do, before you leave your shift. What’s more, these digital timesheets go straight in to our payment queue, meaning that in some instances you may be be paid quicker.
