            calculated according to the number of hours

Client before the start of an Assignment.

1.2       The charges are invoiced to the Client on a weekly basis and are payable

           within 7 days. The Employment Business reserves the right to charge

            interest on invoiced amounts unpaid for more than 21 days at a rate of 8%

            a contract of Service or apprenticeship or a contract for services; and that

            the Temporary Worker is willing to work in the Assignment.

2.2       Where such information is not given in paper from or by electronic means it

           shall be confirmed by such means by the end of the third business day

           (excluding Saturday, Sunday or a public or Bank holiday) following say,

           where the Temporary Worker is being introduced for an Assignment in the

            same position as one in which the Temporary Worker has previously been

           supplied within the previous five business days and such information has

           already been given to the Client, unless the Client requests that the

            information be resubmitted.

            the Temporary Worker during that week.

           hours worked. If the Client is unable to sign a time sheet produced for

           authentication by the Temporary Worker because the Client disputes the

            hours claimed, the Client shall inform the Employment Business as soon as

            reasonably, practicable and shall co-operate fully and in a timely fashion

            with the Employment Business to enable the Employment Business to

            establish what hours, if any, were worked by the Temporary Worker. Failure

            to sign the time sheet does not absolve the Client’s obligation to pay the

            charges in respect of the hours worked.

3.3       The Client shall not be entitled to decline to sign a timesheet on a basis that

            he is dissatisfied with the work performed by the Temporary Worker. In

           below.

           being supplied by another employment business, within either

•           The duration of the Assignment

•           14 weeks from the start of the first Assignment (each new Assignment

           where there has been a break of more than 42 days (6 weeks) since the

           end of the previous Assignment shall also be considered to be the “first

           Assignment” for these purposes); or

•           8 weeks from the day after the last day the Temporary Worker worked on

           the Assignment the Client shall be liable, to either an extended period of

            hire as set out in 5.1.3 below or a Transfer Fee calculated in accordance

           with 5.1.2 below. The Client must give the Employment Business 3 day’s

            written notice in advance of the Engagement of whether it has elected to

            take the period of extended hire or to pay the Transfer Fee. However,

            where the Client does not give such notice before the Temporary Worker is

           engaged the parties agree the Transfer Fee shall be due.

Transfer Fee

5.1.2    The Transfer Fee shall be such proportion of the amount calculated as

           follows: 20% of the Remuneration applicable during the first 12 months of

           the Engagement, if the actual amount of the Remuneration is not known, the

           hourly charges referred to in clause 1.1 multiplied by 200 as set out below:

5.1.2.1 Where the Temporary Worker supplied has been directly or indirectly

           engaged by the Client within 13 weeks from the commencement of the

           Assignment the Transfer Fee shall be 100%.

5.1.2.2 Where the Temporary Worker supplied has been directly or indirectly

            engaged by the Client more than 13 weeks but less than 26 weeks from the

           commencement of the Assignment the Transfer Fee shall be 50 %.

5.1.2.3 Where the Temporary Worker supplied has been directly or indirectly

           engaged by the Client more than 26 weeks from the commencement of the Assignment the Transfer Fee shall be £nil.

Extended Period of Hire

            the period ending 6 weeks after the scheduled end date of the Assignment;

•           Where the Assignment is for a fixed period, and that period has expired, 12

            weeks; or

•           Where the Assignment is of no fixed duration 18 weeks.

5.1.4   If the Client elects for an extend period of hire, as set out above, but before

          the end of such period engages the Temporary Worker supplied by the

          Employment Business either directly or pursuant to being supplied by

          another employment business or the Temporary Worker chooses not to be

           supplied for an extended period of hire, the Transfer Fee calculated in

          accordance with 5.1.2 may be charged, reduced by such percentage to

          reflect the period of extended hire already undertaken by the Temporary

          Worker and paid for by the Client. *

*Note: For Example if a Worker leaves 3 weeks into an extended period of hire due to last 6 weeks  the amount charged would be 50% of the Transfer Fee.

5.1.5    No refund of the Transfer Fee will be paid in the event that the Engagement

           subsequently terminates.

5.1.6    VAT is payable in edition to any fee due.

           Client which does not result  in the supply of the Temporary Worker by The

           Employment Business to the Client, but which leads to an Engagement of

           the Temporary Worker by the Client either (1) directly or (2) pursuant to

           being supplied by another employment business with 6 months of the date

           of the introduction the Client shall be liable, to either an extended period of

           hire as set out in 5.2.3 or an Introduction Fee calculated in accordance with

           5.2.2 below. The Client must give the Employment Business 3 days written

           notice in advance of the engagement of whether it has elected to take the

           period of extended hire or to pay the Introduction Fee. However, where the

           Client does not give such notice before the Temporary Worker if engaged

            the parties agree that the Introduction Fee shall be due.

Introduction Fee

5.2.2    The Introduction Fee shall be calculated as follows: 20% of the

           Remuneration applicable during the first 12 months of the Engagement or, if

           the actual amount of the Remuneration is not known, the hourly rate

          charged multiplied by 200. No refund of the Introduction Fee will be paid in

           the event that the Engagement subsequently terminates. VAT is payable in

           addition to any fee due.

Extended Period of Hire

5.2.3    The Extended period of hire will be whichever of the following is most

           appropriate;

·         Where the Assignment is for a fixed period, the period ending 12 weeks after the scheduled end date of the Assignment; or

·         Where the Assignment is of no fixed duration, 18 weeks.

5.2.4    If the Client elects for an extend period of hire, as set out above, but before

           the end of such period engages the Temporary Worker supplied by the

           Employment Business either directly or pursuant to being supplied by

           another employment business or the Temporary Worker chooses not to be

            supplied for an extended period of hire, the Transfer Fee calculated in

           accordance with 5.2.2 may be charged, reduced by such percentage to

           reflect the period of extended hire already undertaken by the Temporary

           Worker and paid for by the Client.

            In the Event that the Temporary Worker supplied to the Client is introduced

          Temporary Worker by the third party within either:

·          The duration of the Assignment;

·         14 weeks from the start of the first Assignment (each new Assignment where there has been a break of more than 42 days (6 weeks) since the end of the previous Assignment shall also be considered to be the “first Assignment” for these purposes); or

No Refund of the Transfer Fee will be paid in the event that the Engagement subsequently terminates. VAT is payable in addition to any fee due.

5.4       In the Event that there is an introduction of a Temporary Worker to the

           Client which does not result in the supply of that Temporary Worker by the

           Employment Business to the Client, but the Temporary Worker is introduced

           by the Client to a third party which results in the Engagement of the

            Temporary Worker by the third party within 6 months from the date of

            introduction the Client shall be liable, to an Introduction Fee calculated as

            follows: 20% of the remuneration applicable during the first 12 months of

           the Engagement or, if the actual amount of the Remuneration is not known,

the hourly charged agreed pursuant to clause 1.1 multiplied by 200. No

Refund of the Transfer Fee will be paid in the event that the Engagement

subsequently terminates. VAT is payable in addition to any fee due.

6.         Liability

6.1       Whilst every effort is made by the Employment Business to give

          satisfaction to the Client by

ensuring reasonable standards of skills, integrity and reliability from Temporary Workers and further to provide them in accordance with the Client’s booking details, the Employment Business is not liable for any loss, expense, damage or delay arising from any failure to provide any Temporary Worker for all or part of the period of booking or from the negligence, dishonesty, misconduct or lack of skill of the Temporary Worker. For the avoidance of doubt, the Employment Business does not exclude liability for death or personal injury arising from its own negligence.

6.2      Temporary Workers supplied by the Employment Business are engaged

          under contracts for

services. They are not the employees of the Employment Business but are deemed to be under the

supervision, direction and control of the Client from the time they report to take up duties and for the duration of the Assignment. The Client agrees to be responsible for all acts, errors or omissions of the Temporary Worker, whether wilful, negligent or otherwise as though the Temporary Worker was on the payroll of the Client. The Client will also comply in all respects with all statutes including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Working Time Regulations, Health and Safety At Work Act etc, by-laws, codes of practice and legal requirements to which the Client is ordinarily subject in respect of the Client’s own staff (excluding the matters specifically mentioned in Clause 6 above), including in particular the provision of adequate Employer’s and Public Liability Insurance cover for the Temporary Worker during all Assignments.

6.3      The Client shall advise the Employment Business of any special health

          and safety matters about

which the Employment Business is required to inform the Temporary Worker and about any requirements imposed by law or by any professional body, which must be satisfied if the Temporary Worker is to fill the Assignment. The Client will assist the Employment Business in complying with the Employment Business’ duties under the Working Time Regulations by supplying any relevant information about the Assignment requested by the Employment Business and the Client will not do anything to cause the Employment Business to be in breach of its obligations under these Regulations. Where the Client requires or may require the services of a Temporary Worker for more than 48 hours in any week, the Client must notify the Employment Business of this requirement before the commencement of that week.

6.4      The Client undertakes that it knows of no reason why it would be

          detrimental to the interests of the Temporary Worker for the Temporary

          Worker to fill the Assignment.

6.5      The Client shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Employment

           Business against any costs, claims or liabilities incurred by the

          Employment Business arising out of any Assignment or arising

           out of any non-compliance with clauses 8.2 and 8.3 and/or as a result of

           any breach of these Terms by the Client.

7.         Special Situations

7.1      Where the Temporary Worker is required by law, or any professional

            body to have any

qualifications or authorisations to work on the Assignment or the Assignment involves caring for or attending one or more persons under the age of eighteen or any person who by reason of age, infirmity or who is otherwise in need of care or attention, the Employment Business will take all reasonably practicable steps to obtain and offer to the Client:

·        Provide copies of any relevant qualifications or authorisations of the Temporary Worker, and

·         Two references from persons not related to the Temporary Worker who have agreed that the references they provide may be disclosed to the Client and has taken all reasonably practicable steps to confirm that the Temporary Worker is suitable for the Assignment. If the Employment Business is unable to do any of the above it shall inform the Client of the steps it has taken to obtain this information in any event.

8.         Termination

8.1       The Client undertakes to supervise the Temporary Worker sufficiently to

           ensure the Client’s

satisfaction with the Temporary Worker’s standards of workmanship. If the Client reasonably considers that the services of the Temporary Worker are unsatisfactory, the Client may terminate the Assignment either by instructing the Temporary Worker to leave the Assignment immediately, or by directing the Employment Business to remove the Temporary Worker. The Employment Business may, in such circumstances, reduce or cancel the charges for the time worked by that Temporary Worker, provided that the Assignment terminates:

·        Within four hours of the Temporary Worker commencing the Assignment where the booking is for more than seven hours; or

·          Within two hours for bookings of seven hours or less;

And also provided that notification of the unsuitability of the Temporary

Worker is confirmed in writing to the Employment Business within 48

hours of the termination of the Assignment.

8.2      Any of the Client, the Employment Business or the Temporary Worker

          may terminate an Assignment at any time without prior notice and

          without liability.

8.3      The Client shall notify the Employment Business immediately and without

          delay and in any event within 24 hours if the Temporary Worker fails to

          attend work or notifies the Client that the Temporary Worker is unable to

           attend work for any reason.

8.4      The Employment Business shall notify the Client immediately if it

          receives or otherwise obtains information, which gives it reasonable

          grounds to believe that a Temporary Worker supplied to the Client is

          unsuitable for the Assignment, and shall terminate the Assignment under

           the provisions of clause 8.2.
