    • These Terms contain the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, these Terms prevail over any previous terms of business, agreement or any purchase conditions put forward by the Client. This clause is without prejudice to any rights which have arisen prior to termination of such and nothing will operate to exclude or limit the liability of any party in respect of fraud.
    • For the purposes of these Terms, the Employment Business acts as an employment business as defined within the Conduct Regulations; save where a permanent placement results, in which case the Employment Business will be acting as an employment agency as defined within the Conduct Regulations.
    • The Client authorises the Employment Business to act on its behalf in seeking Candidates and, if the Client so requests, will advertise for Candidates through such additional methods as are agreed with the Client at the Client’s exclusive cost.
    • Where there is a conflict of provisions between the main body of these Terms and the Temp Schedule, the main body of these Terms will take precedence save where expressly provided for within the clauses herein or agreed as a variation set out within the Temp Schedule.
    • Headings contained in these Terms are for reference purposes only and will not affect the intended meanings of the clauses to which they relate.
    • Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the singular include the plural and feminine includes masculine and vice versa.
  2. Client Obligations
    • The Client agrees to, and where applicable will ensure the End User will, be responsible for providing the working environment for the Temp and any necessary resources, tools and facilities for the Temp.
    • These Terms are personal to the Client and will not be assigned by it without the prior written consent of the Employment Business. For the avoidance of doubt, this restriction includes any assignment to any subsidiary, associated company or member of the Client’s Group.
    • The Client undertakes to provide the Employment Business with details of any specific health and safety risks in relation to the Services and Assignment, together with details of any steps taken to prevent or control such risks.
    • The Client will ensure –

      2. the Temp does not undertake any work during the Assignment which is hazardous without first conducting a risk assessment, informing the Employment Business and the Temp of the outcome of that risk assessment and steps taken (or to be taken) to reduce the risk.
    • The Client will indemnify and keep indemnified the Employment Business from and against all loss or liability suffered or incurred by the Employment Business as a result of any claim by the Temp arising out of any injury or damage to his/her person and/or property suffered in the course of performing the Services.

      2. extend Assignment or otherwise Engage directly or indirectly a Candidate and/or Temp Introduced and/or supplied by the Employment Business.
    • The Client will inform the Employment Business in good time of any significant issues in relation to the Temp or where the Client is dissatisfied with the Temp in any respect.
    • The Client warrants that it will, and where applicable will ensure that the End User will, from the start of Assignment, provide the Temp with -
      1. information about relevant vacant posts with the Client, or with the End User where applicable; and
      2. save where objectively justifiable, access to any and all collective facilities and amenities of the Client or End User (where applicable),

in the same manner as if the Temp were a direct worker or employee of the Client or End User where applicable.

  • Upon request from the Employment Business, the Client undertakes to provide (without delay) to the Employment Business accurate information about the working and employment conditions that are applicable to the Client (or applicable to the End User where relevant) whether by contract or by collective agreement or otherwise and will include subsequent variations thereto, that relate to the Client’s (or the End User’s) employees and direct workers including (without limitation) –

  • Where the AWR applies to the Assignment, the Client agrees that it will, upon request from the Employment Business and without delay, provide accurate details relating to the working and employment conditions (as defined within regulation 5(2) and regulation 6 of the AWR) of the Client’s (or End User’s as is applicable) workers and/or employees who undertake the same or broadly similar work as that of the Temp during the Assignment.
  • Where the AWR applies to the Assignment and where applicable pursuant to information obtained under clause 11 above, the Client will, and where applicable will ensure that the End User will, apply the same or similar process as applied to assess Pay that is directly attributable to the amount or quality of the work done by the Temp. For the purposes of this clause “Pay” means as defined in regulation 6(2) of the AWR.
  • Where the AWR applies to the Assignment and the Temp is pregnant, the Client acknowledges and agrees that, following the Qualifying Period, the Client will, and where applicable will procure that the End User will, permit the Temp time off to attend ante-natal medical appointments and ante-natal classes.
  • Where the AWR applies to the Assignment, the Client acknowledges and agrees that, following the Qualifying Period and whereupon the Temp is unable to continue to provide some or all of the Services on maternity grounds due to reasons of health and safety, the Client will, and where applicable will procure that the End User will, undertake to make such reasonable adjustments as are necessary to allow the Temp to continue providing services for the duration of the Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, such reasonable adjustments will include provision of alternative work on terms no less favourable than those applicable during the Assignment.
  • The Client undertakes and agrees to immediately notify the Employment Business where a Temp has worked for the Client/End User in the same or similar role as the Assignment where, prior to the planned commencement of the Assignment, such role is within the Qualifying Period.
  • The Client warrants and undertakes that it will not, and where applicable will procure that the End User will not, seek to deny the Temp’s entitlement to rights under the AWR by virtue of the structure of assignments and will at all times comply with regulation 9 of the AWR.
  • The Client warrants and undertakes that all information it provides to the Employment Business under these Terms is true and accurate.
  1. Employment Business’s Obligations
    • The Employment Business shall use reasonable endeavours to introduce Candidates to the Client who meet the Client’s stated requirements.
    • Where the Employment Business and the Client have agreed that the Employment Business will supply the Client with the services of a particular Candidate, the Employment Business will give the Client a Temp Schedule confirming the name of the Temp, the agreed pay rates/fees, duration of the Assignment, description of the Services, notice periods and any other relevant details communicated and agreed between the parties.
    • The Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Temp co-operates with the Client and complies with all the Client’s reasonable and lawful instructions.
    • The Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Temp enters into an agreement which contains an obligation on the Temp to assign to the Employment Business (for onward assignment to the Client) or directly to the Client (as directed by the Client to the Employment Business), intellectual property rights of whatever nature and, if capable of registration, whether registered or not, in all documents or other material and data or other information and devices or processes provided or created by the Temp in the provision of the Services.
    • The Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Temp enters into an agreement which contains an obligation on the Temp to keep confidential all confidential information of the Client obtained during the Assignment. For the purposes of this clause 5, confidential information is confidential if it is clearly marked confidential or if the Client states it is confidential clearly in writing to the Temp.
    • The Employment Business may substitute the Temp with another suitably qualified and similarly skilled Temp with reasonable notice at its absolute discretion.
    • The Employment Business is responsible for payment to the Temp for work done during the Assignment and for any PAYE, National Insurance and any other statutory deductions required to comply with legislation.
  2. Charges/Fees
    • The Client agrees to pay the Employment Business’s charges for the Introduction of and for the services of the Contractors/Candidate that are calculated as the Employment Business’ charge rate as set out in the Temp Schedule.
    • The Client agrees to pay the charges set out in clause 1 above for the number of hours worked (to the nearest quarter hour) including a sum as detailed within the Temp Schedule for Employer’s National Insurance contribution and holiday pay in accordance with the Working Time Regulations 1998, in respect of the Temp.
    • Signature by the Client (or by the End User where applicable) of timesheets or other verification of hours worked is confirmation of the amount of time worked by the Temp and of satisfaction with the Services provided. Failure to sign/authorise the timesheet does not absolve the Client of its obligation to pay the charges for the Services provided by the Temp during the Assignment.
    • If the Client is unable to sign a timesheet (or other agreed method of verification of hours/days) produced for authentication by the Temp because the Client disputes the amount of time claimed, then the Client will notify the Employment Business within two working days from the presentation to the Client of the claimed hours/days for verification and will co-operate fully and in a timely fashion with the Employment Business, including providing documentary evidence of the hours/days worked by the Temp, to enable the Employment Business to establish what periods of time, if any, the Temp worked.
    • With reference to clause 13, where such time off to attend ante-natal medical appointments and ante-natal classes falls within the normal working periods of the Temp during the Assignment, the Client agrees to pay the Employment Business’s charges, in accordance with clause 5.1, for such periods whether by inclusion of such time on a timesheet or otherwise.
    • There are no refunds or rebates payable by the Employment Business to the Client (or to the Client’s Group or, for the avoidance of doubt, the End User) in respect of the Employment Business’s charges.
    • The Client agrees to pay the Employment Business all reasonable business expenses incurred by the Temp in the provision of the Services.
    • VAT will be payable in addition to charges/fees.
    • The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Employment Business may, upon notice, increase the charge rate set out in under clause 1 (or as set out in the relevant Temp Schedule if applicable) in order to comply with the AWR.
    • The Client acknowledges that it has no right to set-off, withhold or deduct monies from sums due to the Employment Business under these Terms.
    • The Employment Business will not be liable for fraudulent timesheets.
    • The Client acknowledges the Employment Business may increase its charges where the cost of the supply of the Temp increases due to a change in legislation.
  3. Invoices
    • The Employment Business will raise invoices weekly in respect of the charges payable and the Client agrees to pay such invoices within thirty days (30) of the date of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed and set out within the Temp Schedule.
    • All invoices will be deemed to be accepted in full by the Client unless the Client notifies the Employment Business in writing within five days of the amount the Client disputes and the reason the Client disputes that amount. In the event the Client does so notify the Employment Business that it wishes to dispute part of an invoice, the Client agrees to pay the undisputed part of the invoice within the agreed payment terms and will co-operate fully with the Employment Business in order to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible.
    • Employment Business reserves the right to charge interest on invoiced amounts overdue at the rate of 8% per annum above the base rate from time to time of the Bank of England from the due date until the date of payment. The Employment Business may recover from the Client, as a sum due under these terms, any costs or other expenses it incurs in enforcing and recovering any payments due from the Client.
  4. Termination of Assignments
    • The Client may instruct the Employment Business, in writing, to end the Services of the Temp immediately in the event of substantial non-performance or serious misconduct of the Temp, provided that the Client provides detailed, written confirmation of the non-performance and/or misconduct.
    • The Employment Business may end any Assignment immediately by giving the Client notice in writing if the Client is in material breach of these Terms.
    • Either party may terminate Assignment prior to the end of an Assignment by giving not less than 2 weeks’ notice in writing, or such other period of notice as agreed and set out in the relevant Temp Schedule.
    • When notice of termination of the Assignment is served by the Client, payment for each week of notice will be based on the specified hours agreed in the Temp Schedule or actual hours worked by the Temp, whichever the greater. The Client agrees to make payment in accordance with clauses 5 and 6 above irrespective of whether or not the Temp continues to provide the Services during this notice period.
    • In any event of termination of the Assignment pursuant to clause 1 above, the Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to provide an alternative Temp within fourteen days that in the reasonable opinion of the Employment Business is suitable to provide the Services.
    • These Terms may be terminated by either party by giving to the other immediate notice in the event that either the Employment Business or the Client goes into liquidation, becomes bankrupt or enters into an arrangement with creditors or has a receiver or administrator appointed or where the Employment Business has reasonable grounds to believe the Client will not pay the Employment Business’s invoice within the payment terms agreed within clause 1.
    • Notwithstanding clause 6, the Employment Business may, at its absolute discretion and at any time, terminate the Assignment upon immediate notice where in the opinion of the Employment Business the Temp is no longer suitable to provide the Services.
    • Following termination (howsoever arising) of these Terms, the provisions contained within clauses 1, 2, 7, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 5.6, 5.7, 5.10, 5.11, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 will continue in full force and effect.
  5. Engagement of Temp by Client or Third Parties
    • Subject to clause 1, the Client agrees that when the Client or the Client’s Group or End User Engages a Temp, other than through the Employment Business, either during the Assignment or within the Quarantine Period, the Client agrees to notify the Employment Business of that Engagement and agrees to pay the Employment Business the Transfer Fee irrespective of the planned duration of the Engagement. 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.
    • Subject to clause 2, where there has been an Introduction of a Candidate to the Client which does not immediately result in the supply of the services of that Candidate by the Employment Business to the Client, but which later leads to an Engagement of the Candidate by the Client, the Client’s Group or by the End User (howsoever arising) within 6 months from the date of Introduction, the Client agrees to notify the Employment Business of that Engagement and agrees to pay the Transfer Fee in accordance with clause 8.1 above. VAT, where applicable, is payable in addition to any fee due.
    • All Introductions are confidential. If the Client passes details of a Candidate and/or Temp to any third party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Client’s Group or End User) resulting in the Engagement of that Candidate and/or Temp, then the Client agrees to pay the Transfer Fee. VAT, where applicable, is payable in addition to any fee due.
    • The Client acknowledges and agrees that where it fails to notify the Employment Business of the actual Remuneration/fees it (or where applicable, the Client’s Group or the End User) intends to (directly or indirectly) pay to the Candidate/Temp, the Employment Business will be entitled to calculate the Transfer Fee based on comparable market rates for similar roles.
    • For the avoidance of doubt, no refund of the Transfer Fee will be paid in the event that the Engagement subsequently terminates.
  6. Alternative Hire Period
    • As an alternative to the Transfer Fee agreed in clause 1, the Client may provide the Employment Business with written notice in accordance with clause 7.3 above and may require the Employment Business to supply the services of the Temp for a further period set out as the Alternative Hire Period, during which period the Client will pay the charges agreed pursuant to clause 5.1.
    • As an alternative to the Transfer Fee agreed in clause 2, the Client may provide the Employment Business with five (5) days written notice to require the Employment Business to supply the services of the Temp for the Alternative Hire Period, during which period the Client agrees to pay the charges agreed pursuant to clause 5.1 above or where none agreed, pursuant to market rate in the sole opinion of the Employment Business.
    • Upon completion of the entire duration of Alternative Hire Period and the payment in full of invoices relating thereto, the Client may engage with the Temp directly or indirectly without any additional payment to the Employment Business.
    • Where the Client does not give such notice as required within clauses 1 and 9.2 before the Candidate/Temp is Engaged, the Client acknowledges and agrees that Transfer Fee will become due in full to the Employment Business.
    • Pursuant to clauses 1 and 9.2 above, a further Temp Schedule will be issued by the Employment Business and these Terms will continue in full force and effect during the Alternative Hire Period.
    • In the event the Temp or Candidate ceases to provide services for whatever reason during the Alternative Hire Period, the Client acknowledges and agrees that the Transfer Fee will become due, minus the portion directly relating to the gross profit of the Employment Business paid by the Client to the Employment Business during the period of the Alternative Hire Period that the Candidate or Temp completed.
    • For the avoidance of doubt, there will be no refund of any fees or charges paid by the Client to the Employment Business in relation to the Alternative Hire Period and/or Transfer Fee.
  7. Data Protection
    • The parties hereto acknowledge that the Employment Business is a Data Controller in respect of the personal data of the Candidate/Temp and provides such personal data to the Client in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation for the purposes anticipated by these Terms.
    • The parties acknowledge that the Client is a Data Controller but the parties are not Joint Controllers (as defined within the Data Protection Legislation) save where a specific agreement is made to that effect between the parties.
    • The parties agree that the Temp is not the Client's Data Processor (as defined within the Data Protection Legislation) save where agreed otherwise within a Temp Schedule and subject to additional terms and conditions.
    • The parties warrant to each other that any personal data relating to a data subject, whether provided by the Client, the Employment Business or by the Candidate or Temp, will be used, processed and recorded by the receiving party in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation.
    • The parties hereto will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to adequately protect all personal data against accidental loss, destruction or damage, alteration or disclosure.
    • The Client will -
      1. comply with the instruction of the Employment Business as regards the transfer/sharing of personal data between the parties. If the Client requires personal data not already in its control to be provided by the Employment Business, the Client will set out its legal basis for the request of such data and accept that the Employment Business may refuse to share/transfer such personal data where, in the reasonable opinion of the Employment Business, it does not comply with its obligations in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation; and
      2. not cause the Employment Business to breach any of its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.
    • In the event the Client becomes aware of an actual or any reasonably suspected Personal Data Breach, it will immediately notify the Employment Business and will provide the Employment Business with a description of the Personal Data Breach, the categories of data that was the subject of the Personal Data Breach and the identity of each data subject affected and any other information the Employment Business reasonably requests relating to the Personal Data Breach.
    • In the event of a Personal Data Breach, the Client will promptly (at its own expense) provide such information, assistance and cooperation and do such things as the Employment Business may request to -
      1. investigate and defend any claim or regulatory investigation;
      2. mitigate, remedy and/or rectify such breach; and
      3. prevent future breaches.

and will provide the Employment Business with details in writing of all such steps taken.

  • The Client will not release or publish any filing, communication, notice, press release or report concerning any Personal Data Breach without the prior written approval of the Employment Business.
  • The Client agrees it will only process personal data of a Candidate or Temp for the agreed purpose of the provision of Services pursuant to these Terms.
  • The Client will provide evidence of compliance with clause 10 upon request from the Employment Business.
  1. Liability
    • The Employment Business will use reasonable endeavours to ensure the Temp has the required standard of skill, integrity and reliability; nevertheless, the Employment Business is not liable for any loss, expense, damage or delay arising from and in connection with any failure on the part of the Temp to perform the Services nor for any negligence whether wilful or otherwise, dishonesty, fraud, acts or omissions, misconduct or lack of skill of the Temp howsoever arising.
    • A Temp is engaged under contract for services. They are not the employee of the Employment Business.
    • The Client will comply, and will procure that the End User will comply, in all respects with all relevant statutes, by-laws and legal requirements including provision of adequate public liability insurance in respect of the Temp. The Client agrees to allow and reasonably assist the Employment Business in complying with its legal obligations regarding the introduction of Candidate/s and supply of Services by the Temp.
    • Where it is foreseeable that the Temp will work hours in contravention to the provisions of the Working Time Regulations, the Client will provide written notice to the Employment Business in good time prior to the commencement of the Assignment. The Employment Business will ask if the Temp is willing to sign the relevant opt-out under the Working Time Regulations.
    • The Employment Business is providing resourcing services comprising of sourcing, introduction and payroll administration in relation to Services performed by the Temp and accordingly, the Employment Business does not accept any liability, howsoever arising, for the quality of services provided by the Temp, save for death or personal injury caused by the Employment Business’s direct negligence.
    • Save where required by law, the parties are not liable for-
      1. any loss of profits, loss of business, loss of revenue, depletion of goodwill, pure economic loss, loss of anticipated savings, damages, charges, expenses and/or similar losses; or
      2. any special, indirect or consequential losses.
    • Save as required by law, the sole aggregate liability of the Employment Business to the Client arising in connection with these Terms will be limited to ten thousand pound sterling (£10,000).
  2. Indemnity
    • The Client agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Employment Business against any costs, claims or liabilities incurred directly or indirectly by the Employment Business arising out of or in connection with these Terms including (without limitation) as a result of:
      1. any breach of these Terms by the Client (including its employees, subcontractors and agents); and
      2. any breach by the Client, or any of its employees or agents, of any applicable statutory provisions (including, without limitation, any statutory provisions prohibiting or restricting discrimination or other inequality of opportunity).
  1. General
    • The Employment Business is not liable for any delay or failure in performance of its obligations to the Client where this arises from matters outside its reasonable control.
    • Any failure by the Employment Business to enforce at any particular time any one or more of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such rights or of the right to enforce these Terms subsequently.
    • If any provision, clause or part-clause of these Terms is held to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable by any judicial body, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.
    • No provision of these Terms will be enforceable by any person who is not a party to it pursuant to the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 ("the Act").
    • Without prejudice to clause 2, whereupon these Terms and/or Temp Schedule/s are executed by the signature of duly authorised representatives of the parties this forms a binding agreement and will supersede all previous agreements or representations whether written or oral including without limitation the Client’s terms and conditions, purchase order or other Client documents with respect to the provision of services set out herein provided by the Employment Business. These Terms may not be modified or amended except in writing and signed by a duly authorised representative of the Employment Business.

      2. if sent by facsimile or by e-mail, at the time of despatch if despatched on a business day before 5.00 p.m. or in any other case at 10.00 a.m. on the next business day after the day of despatch, unless the transmission report indicates a faulty or incomplete transmission or, within the relevant business day, the authorised recipient informs the sender that the facsimile or e-mail message was received in an incomplete or illegible form; or
      3. if sent by prepaid first class post, 48 hours from the time of posting.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the purpose of this clause 14.2, a “business day” will mean any day excluding Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
