Your event team, from application to approved hours.

The event is one operation. The information should be too.

A Saturday event with 24 shifts asks the same questions every time. Each answer probably lives somewhere already: a spreadsheet, an availability form, a message thread, a folder of certificates. They work well enough on their own. Somebody on your team still has to bring them together for every event.

In Keruja these stay connected around the same person and the same event.

01

Build an event team that is genuinely ready.

Recruitment, training, required documents and contracts stay connected through the worker journey, so your team can see who is ready before placing them on an event.

Your recruitment pipeline. Missing or expired requirements block the assignment.

02

Staff the event, and see which positions still need someone.

The event holds its jobs, and each job holds its shifts. Availability, readiness and role sit next to the gap, so your event manager can fill it in the same view instead of asking around.

Matching suggests, your team decides.

Keruja ranks suitable people using multi-factor matching. Keruja never places someone on a shift by itself: a placement happens when your team assigns, or when a worker accepts an offer you sent.

03

Know what actually happened during service.

Staff check in when they arrive and check out when they finish, or a manager records it for them. Your manager then reviews the worked time and approves it, so the record of the event is settled while it is still fresh.

Submitted after service, approved by the event manager on 26 Sep.

A check-in and a check-out at the venue, with location recorded at those two moments only. No continuous tracking. QR pass mode per job, where it is enabled for your account. Approval is a human decision: your manager, or your client where you give them that role.

04

Get the week's payroll data ready without rebuilding it.

Approved worked time becomes a controlled payroll run that your team can review, lock and export: Draft, Locked, Exported.

Locking the run fixes the figures. Exporting produces a CSV for your payroll process.

Keruja prepares payroll data and exports it. Statutory payroll, payslips and payments stay with your payroll provider.

05

Everyone around the event sees their own part of it.

Your team
Builds the event, assigns the shifts and approves the hours

Events, jobs, shifts, readiness, worked time, rates and the payroll run.

Staff
Set availability, accept offers and check in for the shift

Their offers, their shifts, their training and their own worked time.

Client
Reviews shifts and approves only the worked hours they are authorised to see

The shifts at their event, the approvals awaiting them and a statement they can download.
