Shift Differentials

Determine pay and bill rate by customizable rate tables. Pricing has never been so easy or as robust and deep. Impact rates by class, client, shift, day, experience or employee. Add fees for travel, per diem, on-call / call back and more.

Credentialing

Tracking and verifying credentials is extremely important for compliance. With Ultra-Staff EDGE track any number of licenses, certifications, and other necessary compliance elements. Include expiration dates, documentation, license numbers and more. Issue automatic email reminders coupled with powerful mass texting. Automatically hard stop employees that lack appropriate credentials or have expired credentials.

Input employee availability or have them conveniently log into the Web Portal or Mobile Portal to indicate when they can work. Employees can view their work schedules or have them emailed to them.

High Profile Staffing has partnered with ABD using Ultra-Staff since 2007. In February 2019 we upgraded to Ultra- Staff EDGE to take advantage of the cloud-based system that integrates with several of our other vendors and software platforms. It was a smooth transition to upgrade – literally overnight! Some of the features that we quickly learned we cannot live without are the Dashboard, Daily Planner, Customizable Screens, Job Activity Center, Tableau, Text-Em-All, and access to recorded webinars at the click of our mouse. The support staff at ABD has always been very responsive. They are just a phone call away to answer any questions, and assist with any training.
