What are Placement Criteria?

PayGlobal uses Placement Criteria when selecting appropriate employees to fulfil a requirement. For example, a hospital could require five nurses on a shift, but only three are rostered.

In plain English, a Placement Criteria could be: 'Find all employees who are available, suitably qualified and not already rostered'. PayGlobal will use this rule to search for suitable candidates.

The Importance of Placement Criteria

Different situations will weigh different levels of importance to aspects of Placement Criteria. You could specify, for example, that candidates must be at least 50% qualified to be rostered in a position.

This forms the core of the Labour Budgeting system and is one of the most important aspects for accurate Labour Budgeting.

Several sets of criteria can apply, for example:

• Tight (100%).
• Looser (50%).
• Relaxed (25%).

The first set will select the most desirable set of employees through to the last set, which is used when you are desperate to find someone to work.
