Terms and Conditions

Temporary Terms of Business

Temporary Workers are engaged by Oakleaf Partnership Ltd (Employment Business), under a contract for services.

“Assignment” means the period during which Temporary Worker is engaged on a temporary basis to provide Services;

“AWR” means the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 (as amended);

“Temporary Worker” means the worker named in the Assignment Schedule who is supplied to Client by Employment Business to provide services.

Employment Business will operate as an employment agency (as defined by the Conduct Regulations) in relation to Temporary Worker except where Temporary Worker is employed by Client following Employment Business’s introduction to Client, in which case Employment Business will act as an employment agency.
Employment Business will not charge Temporary Worker a fee for introducing Temporary Worker to Client (as is prohibited by Employment Agencies Act 1973).
Employment Business will endeavour to find suitable Assignments, within the field of Human Resources, where the minimum rate of remuneration is no less than the National Minimum Wage rate.
Employment Business will endeavour to obtain suitable Assignments for Temporary Worker, however, the nature of temporary work means that there may be periods when no suitable work is available and Temporary Worker acknowledges that and agrees

(a) that the suitability of the work offered will be determined solely by Employment Business;

(b) that Employment Business will not incur any liability to Temporary Worker should it not be able to offer any suitable Assignments;

(c) that no contract will exist between Temporary Worker and Employment Business during periods when Temporary Worker is not working on an Assignment; and

(d)s/he is not obliged to accept any Assignment offered by Employment Business.
Employment Business shall pay Temporary Worker in respect of work done by him/her during an Assignment, whether or not Employment Business is paid by Client in respect of that work.
Employment Business shall pay to Temporary Worker remuneration calculated at a weekly rate as confirmed within the Assignment Schedule. The rate applies for each hour worked during an Assignment (to the nearest quarter hour). The rate specified in the Assignment Schedule is specific to each Assignment.
Temporary Worker will be paid fortnightly in arrears by BACS unless stated otherwise within the Assignment Schedule and will be reduced by any statutory deductions which the Employment Business may be required by law to make (e.g. income tax, National Insurance contribution, social security payments, pension contributions etc).
Temporary Worker is not entitled to receive payment from Employment Business or Clients for time not spent on Assignment, whether in respect of holidays, illness or absence for any other reason, save for statutory entitlement under relevant legislation or where agreed otherwise. Temporary Worker may be eligible for Statutory Sick Pay provided that s/he meets the relevant statutory criteria.
Temporary Worker acknowledges that s/he may be required to work extra hours in addition to those set out in the Assignment Schedule in order to meet a business need of a Client. No premium rates will be paid for additional hours worked and extra hours worked during the weekend or public holiday work will be paid at the normal rates unless otherwise agreed and stated in the Assignment Schedule.
Entitlement to leave commences on the date that Temporary Worker starts an Assignment or a series of Assignments and for the purposes of this clause, the leave year commences on 1st January to 31st December following.
Under the Working Time Regulations 1998, Temporary Worker is entitled to 5.6 weeks paid leave per leave year (equivalent to 28 days for those working a 5 day week). If the assignment starts and/or ends during a leave year, Temporary Worker’s entitlement to paid leave in that year will be the 5.6 weeks multiplied by the proportion of the leave year during which the assignment has been ongoing. All entitlement to leave must be authorised in advance and will be taken during the course of the leave year in which it accrues and none may be carried forward to the next year without the express, written agreement of Employment Business.
Entitlement to payment for leave accrues in proportion to the amount of time worked continuously by Temporary Worker on Assignment during the leave year. The amount of the payment to which Temporary Worker is entitled in respect of paid annual leave is calculated in accordance with, and in proportion to, the number of hours which s/he works on an Assignment. Any payments for leave will be calculated on the basis of rates paid during Client’s normal working hours (ie not including overtime).
Upon written request from Temporary Worker and following the Qualifying Period, Employment Business will, within 28 days from receipt of such request, provide to Temporary Worker a written statement in accordance with regulation 16 of the AWR.
Employment Business may terminate the Assignment and this Agreement at any time without liability or prior notice, or where stated, by providing the period of notice set out in the Assignment Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, any provision relating to notice and notice periods set out in the Assignment shall take precedence over this period of notice.
For the purposes of this Agreement, Temporary Worker warrants that-

(a) s/he has the experience, training, qualifications and any authorisation which Client considers are necessary, or which are required by law or by any professional body for Temporary Worker to possess in order to perform the Services and will promptly provide evidence of such upon request from Employment Business;

(b) s/he has disclosed in full the details, duration (including any breaks or absences) of any temporary assignments previously undertaken by Temporary Worker for the benefit of Client;

(d) all information and statements provided, whether oral or written, by him/her in relation to the Assignment including (but not limited to) in respect of clause 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 and above are true and accurate;

(e) the Services will be performed with a high degree of professional skill and care;

(f) s/he is not prevented by any other agreement, arrangement, restriction (including, without limitation, a restriction in favour of any employment business, or client, or any other company) or any other reason, from carrying out their full obligations under this Agreement;

(g) s/he possesses valid and subsisting leave to enter, live, work and remain lawfully in the UK for the duration of the Assignment and is not (in relation to such leave) subject to any conditions which may preclude or have an adverse effect on the provision of the services;

(h) s/he does not possess any criminal convictions that may reasonably affect the decision of Employment Business or Client to offer any Assignment under this Agreement; and

(i) s/he has not relied on any representations by Employment Business or Client made prior this Agreement, other than as set out under this Agreement.
