TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS FOR THE SUPPLY OF TEMPORARY WORKERS

1. These Terms and Conditions of business are between Travel Trade Recruitment and/or any subsidiaries or associates (hereinafter called the "EMPLOYMENT BUSINESS") and the Hirer hiring the Temporary Worker (hereinafter called the "Client").

2. These Terms and Conditions are deemed to be accepted by the Client by virtue of an interview or the engagement (which term includes employment or use, whether under a Contract of Service or for Services) or a temporary worker (hereinafter called a "TEMPORARY WORKER") introduced by the Employment Business.

3. The Client agrees to pay the hourly charge (plus VAT) of the Employment Business advised at the time of the booking. The Client agrees to verify and sign the Employment Business's time sheets each week. Signature of such time sheet by the Client constitutes acceptance that the Temporary Worker's services have been provided for the hours indicated on the time sheets and that such services were satisfactory. Travelling, hotel, or other expenses as may be agreed shall be itemised on the Employment Business's invoice in addition to this charge. These charges will be those in force at the time of the assignment and may be varied from time to time with immediate effect. Details of charges are available on application and are calculated on an hourly basis, subject to a minimum charge of not less than 6 hours.

i Temporary Workers are paid by the Employment Business upon receipt of signed time sheets and invoices will be presented weekly to the Client. PAYMENT IS DUE ON RECEIPT OF INVOICE.

ii Hours or part thereof worked, excluding lunch hours, in excess of eight hours per day will be charged and paid at the agreed multiple of the basic rate Monday to Friday unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in advance.

iii Hours or part thereof worked, excluding lunch hours, on Saturdays will be charged at the agreed multiple of the basic rate and at double time for Sundays, Bank Holidays and other public holidays.

iv The Employment Business reserves the right to claim a surcharge from the Client of 1% per seven day period or part thereof for delays in payment after 21 days have elapsed from invoice and the Client will accept this charge for payment on receipt of invoice.

4. The Employment Business will endeavour to provide a Temporary Worker for the period of a booking, but this cannot be guaranteed whether for all or any part of the period. The Client accepts that no liability attaches to the Employment Business for not supplying a worker for part or the whole of the period of a booking.

5. The Employment Business assumes responsibility for payment or wages, deduction and payment of all statutory contributions in respect of Earnings Related Insurance and the administration of Schedule E (PAYE) applicable to the Temporary Workers as required by law.

6. The engagement or use by a Client of a Temporary Worker or former Temporary Worker introduced by the Employment Business whether for a definite or indefinite period, or the introduction of such Temporary Worker or former Temporary Worker to other employers with a resulting engagement renders the Client subject to the payment of an introduction fee calculated in accordance with the rates published by the Employment Business for the introduction of candidates for a permanent position, based on the annual commencing gross taxable pay and taxable emoluments payable by the Client and other employers to the Worker concerned, provided that the engagement takes place within a period of 6 months from the termination of any temporary assignment. No refund is available for such placements where the ability of the worker is already proven.

7. 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 workers and further provide them in accordance with booking details, no liability (by reason of the human element) will be accepted by the Employment Business for any loss, expense, damage or delay arising from any failure to provide any particular Temporary Worker for all or part of the period of the booking or from the negligence, dishonesty, misconduct or lack of skill of the Temporary Workers provided.

8. Without prejudice to the Terms and Conditions of Business herein stated the Client undertakes to indemnify and at all times to keep indemnified the Employment Business against all liabilities suffered or incurred by the Employment Business arising out of use or engagement of Temporary Workers supplied to the Client.

9. The Client undertakes to supervise the Temporary Worker(s) assigned to him sufficiently to ensure the Client's satisfaction with reasonable standards of workmanship, but if the services of a worker prove to be unsatisfactory, the Employment Business may reduce or cancel the charge for the time worked by that Temporary Worker provided that the Temporary Worker leaves that assignment immediately and that notification (which must be confirmed in writing within 5 days) is received either: -

a) Within four hours of the worker commencing duties where the booking is for more than six hours.
OR
b) Within two hours for bookings of six hours of less.

10. a) Temporary Workers provided by the Employment Business are provided under contracts for services and are deemed to be under the direction and control of the Client from the time the worker reports to take up duties and for the duration of the assignment and the Client agrees to be responsible for all acts, errors and omissions be they wilful, negligent or otherwise, as though the worker were on the payroll of the Client and the Client will in all respects comply with all statutes, bye-laws and legal requirements to which the Client is ordinarily subject in respect of the Client's own staff, but excluding the matters specifically mentioned in Paragraph 5 above.

b) The Client is responsible for adequately insuring all Temporary Workers supplied by the Employment Business against all EMPLOYER'S LIABILITIES AND THIRD PARTY risks arising during or relating to the supply of Temporary Workers to the Client.

c) The Client shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Employment Business against any costs, claims and liabilities incurred by the Employment Business arising out of the engagement of the Temporary Worker by the Client.
