Apprentice engagement and administration are covered separately under Apprenticeship Management.
Staffing, onboarding and employee administration.
When to engage Karma
- A new site or team needs to become operational.
- Headcount changes are creating repeated administrative handovers.
- Employees and site managers need a dependable support route.
Workforce deployment and payroll processing are different engagements. Where people are deployed through Karma, the employment arrangement and responsibilities are agreed explicitly. Where Karma processes a client’s payroll, the client’s employment relationship remains part of that agreed scope.

Frequently asked questions
What do you need before mobilisation?
The roles, locations, expected headcount, joining dates and site requirements. We also need to understand the current attendance process and employee support arrangements.
Can the engagement cover several locations?
The service can be discussed around your location footprint. The scoping conversation should identify site-level responsibilities, local coordination and the reporting you need across locations.
How does payroll fit into workforce management?
Payroll inputs and employee changes need an agreed handover. Payroll processing and payroll compliance can be included as connected services, with the scope and approvals clearly defined.
