and temporary requirements.
1. These Terms & Conditions of Business
are between Dovetail Human Resource Services (hereinafter
called the ‘COMPANY’) and the Employer Client
(hereinafter called the ‘CLIENT’) and are deemed
to be accepted by the Client by virtue of an interview or
the engagement (which term includes employment or use whether

licensee, franchise or partnership agreement) of an applicant
introduced by the Company.
2. The Client agrees:
a) To notify the Company immediately an engagement is accepted
And
b) To pay the fee to the Company, within 28 days of the date
of invoice. The Company will be entitled to charge interest
on any account, which remains outstanding at a rate of 2%
of the original amount per full week.
3. The fee payable to the Company by the Client
for the introduction of an applicant is calculated as set
out in the accompanying scale of fees on the gross remuneration,
which the applicant is entitled to earn during the first 12
months of his engagement by the Client. Remuneration includes
all salary, payments and other taxable emoluments payable
to or receivable by the applicant for services rendered to
or on behalf of the Client. VAT will be charged in addition
to the fee.

writing within 7 days of the termination of employment and

subsidiary or associated company of the Client subsequently

payable, (with no entitlement to a refund).

6. An introduction fee calculated in accordance
with Paragraph 3 of these terms will be charged in relation
to any applicant engaged as a consequence of or resulting
from an introduction by or through the Company, even though

notwithstanding satisfy himself as to the suitability of any
applicant and shall take up any references provided by any

required by law.

circumstances for any loss, damage or expense suffered or
incurred by the Client arising from or in any way connected
with the Company seeking an applicant for the Client or the
introduction by the Company to the Client of any applicant
or the engagement of any applicant by the Client.
9. No variation can be made to these terms without
the written consent of a Director of the Company.
1. These Terms and Conditions of Business are
between Dovetail Human Resource Services 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 by the Client (which term includes employment or
use whether under a Contract of Service or for Services or
under an agency, licensee, franchise or partnership agreement)
of a temporary worker (hereinafter called a ‘TEMPORARY
WORKER’) introduced by the Employment Business.
3. The Client agrees to pay the hourly charges
of the Employment Business as notified at the commencement
of the Assignment and as may be varied from time to time during
the Assignment. The
Charges are calculated according to the number of hours worked
by the Temporary Worker (to the nearest quarter of an hour).
These charges consist mainly of the Temporary Worker’s
remuneration and are invoiced to the Client on a weekly basis
and are payable within 14 days of date of Invoice.
The Company reserves the right to charge interest
on any overdue amounts at the rate of 2% per annum above the
base rate from time to time of Nat West Bank from the due
date until the date of payment.
4. The Client agrees to verify and sign the
Employment Business’ time sheets each week. Signature
of such time sheets by the Client constitutes acceptance that
the Temporary Worker has worked satisfactorily for the hours
indicated on the time sheet. Failure to sign the time sheet
does not alter the Clients liability to pay for hours worked.
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. VAT
shall be charged in addition.
5. The Employment Business assumes responsibility
for payment of the Temporary Worker’s remuneration,
deduction and where appropriate, for the deduction and payment
of National Insurance Contributions and PAYE Income Tax applicable
to the Temporary Worker.
6. The direct engagement by a Client of a Temporary Worker
introduced by the Employment Business, or the introduction
by the Client of a Temporary Worker to any third party resulting
in an Engagement (or, where applicable, if the Temporary Worker
has become incorporated under a limited company, the Engagement
of that limited company) renders the Client subject to the
payment of an Introduction fee calculated at 17.5% of the
annual gross taxable remuneration and emoluments payable to
the Temporary Worker provided that the Engagement takes place
within six months from the termination of any Temporary Assignment,
or if there was no Assignment, within six months of the introduction
of the Temporary Worker, by the Employment Business. Where
the Client fails to inform the Employment business of the
annual remuneration, the introduction fee will be calculated
by multiplying the hourly charge of the Employment Business
for the Temporary Workers’ services by 300. 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.
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 to provide them in accordance with booking detail,
no liability 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 booking or from the negligence, dishonesty,
misconduct or lack of skill of the Temporary Workers provided.
8. The Client undertakes to supervise the Temporary
Worker(s) assigned to him sufficiently to ensure the Client’s
satisfaction with reasonable standards of workmanship. If
the services of the Temporary Worker prove to be unsatisfactory,
the Client may terminate the assignment either by telling
the Temporary Worker to leave the assignment immediately,
or by asking the Employment Business to remove the Temporary
Worker. The Employment Business may reduce or cancel the charge
for the time worked by that Temporary Worker, provided that
assignment ends: -
a) Within four hours of the worker commencing duties where
the booking is for more than seven hours.
Or
b) Within two hours for bookings seven hours or less.
And also provided
c) That verbal notification of the unsuitability of the Temporary
Worker is confirmed in writing to the Employment Business
within 48 hours.
9. a) Temporary Workers engaged by the Employment
Business under contracts for services 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. The
Client will also comply in all respects with all statutes,
including, for the avoidance of doubt, the working time regulations,
by-laws, codes of practice and legal requirements to which
the Client is ordinarily subject in respect of the Clients
own staff, including in particular the provision of adequate
Employer’s and Public Liability Insurance cover for
the Temporary Worker during all assignments, but excluding
matters specifically mentioned in paragraph 5. The Client
shall also advise the Employment Business of any special health
and safety matters about which the Employment Business is
required to inform the Temporary Worker. 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.
b) 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 assignment.

terms without the written consent of a Director of the Employment
