Short or long, written on the note

Manpower outsourcing names the length of the crew before the first name is pencilled in.

Outsourcing, filed by the floor desk

A crew note that does not say how long the crew stays is sent back the same shift it arrives. The floor splits a short project from a long one on the first line. The paper will not run both under one dateline.

The note also names the supervisor on the site. A crew supplied against a signed note from Reliant is not a crew sold from this page.

The short project

Short is a day, a week, a defined close. The note holds how many hands, which trade, and which floor.

The hand-over at the end of the short crew is filed under the shift close.

The long project

Long is a season, a build, a service contract. The note sets the rotation and the person who holds the roster.

A long crew has a replacement line already named on the slip.

What the paper does not do

The paper does not take an order for a crew from this page.

A crew note turns into work only once the supervisor on the site has signed it.
