FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is contingent workforce management software?

Contingent workforce management software helps organizations source, onboard, schedule, and manage non-permanent workers such as contractors, freelancers, and agency staff alongside their permanent workforce. It provides visibility into total labor spend, compliance obligations, and workforce composition across both employee types in a single platform.
What is the difference between contingent labor and permanent employees?

Permanent employees are hired directly, receive benefits, and are subject to standard employment laws. Contingent labor includes contractors, freelancers, and agency workers engaged on a temporary or project basis. Managing both effectively requires systems that can handle different pay structures, compliance requirements, and onboarding workflows simultaneously.
How does contingent workforce software help businesses manage staffing agencies?

Contingent workforce software centralizes agency relationships by standardizing how workers are requested, onboarded, and tracked across multiple vendors. It gives managers visibility into agency performance, fill rates, and costs, making it easier to evaluate vendor effectiveness and ensure contingent workers meet the same operational standards as permanent staff.
How does contingent labor management software help control labor spend?

Contingent labor management software helps control labor spend by providing real-time visibility into contractor costs, hours, and utilization alongside permanent workforce data. Platforms like Dayforce connect contingent and permanent labor in one view, helping managers make smarter staffing mix decisions that balance operational needs with budget constraints.
What should businesses look for when evaluating contingent workforce management solutions?

Look for visibility across permanent and contingent workers, staffing agency management, compliance tracking, onboarding workflows, and integration with your core payroll and scheduling systems. The best contingent workforce management solutions eliminate data silos and connect your entire workforce in one platform, giving organizations the visibility needed to manage contingent and permanent labor with equal precision.
