You may, by giving written notice to us of not less than one month, terminate the agreement recorded in this Appendix.

Contract for Temporary Assignment

your agreement to provide services
1	From the commencement date of an Assignment and for the period of the Assignment you shall, as a self-employed worker engaged by us for the purpose of supplying your services to the Client, undertake the Work Services, but not so that any of the provisions in this agreement, other than under this clause and clauses 8 to 13, impose any obligation upon you unless expressly stated to the contrary.
Client expectations
2	You acknowledge that, if the Client is to continue to use your services through us under an Assignment, the Client will expect those services to be provided by you on the basis that
	(a)	you undertake your work professionally, promptly, efficiently and in good faith using your skill and expertise and with due care and to the best standards expected of you during the Work Time until the Assignment is ended
	(b)	the standard set out in 2(a) requires that you comply with all applicable health and safety laws and regulations and, to the extent applicable, any statutory requirements relating to the type of work required for the provision of the Work Services
	(c)	as part of your function under the preceding clause, it is your responsibility to ensure your own safety and assess any risks or hazards that may affect your safety and to familiarise yourself with the working conditions and operating requirements at the Client site; this responsibility continues to apply even though the Client may provide you with its own internal policies, rules and regulations relating to safety or for the operation of equipment or machinery or relevant to working conditions, which you should comply with only to the extent that they relate to the proper performance by you of your work
	(d)	during the Work Time
	(i)	you follow the proper directions and instructions of the Client as to your work and allow the Client to exercise day to day control
	(ii)	you will allow the Client to supervise your work to the extent properly required to enable the Client to progress its work requirements
	(iii)	you abide by the reasonable rules and regulations that the Client indicates are relevant to external (i.e. non employed) personnel relating to security or operational matters but you will not be expected to follow any internal rules that relate solely to employees of the Client
	(iv)	if you are intending to be absent for any reason you will, as a matter of professional courtesy, notify the Client as soon as possible of your intention in order to enable the Client to progress its work requirements in your absence
	(v)	if the Assignment sets out any special requirements for the provision of the work services, that you take note of and perform your services in a way that does not conflict with those requirements
	(e)	you will not import any software onto any computer system of the Client without the prior written consent of the Client, or use any email or internet access except with all due care and to the extent authorised in writing by the Client
	(f	you will not use any facilities provided to you by the Client for any purpose other than is authorised by the Client
	(g)	you will not provide services to any other party that conflict with the best interests of the Client.
acknowledgements
3	You acknowledge that the nature of temporary work is that its continuation is dependant upon the willingness of both you and the Client at any time. Accordingly we may notify you and terminate an Assignment if the Client should advise us at any time, and by any means, that it no longer requires us to supply your services as a temporary worker, or if we should conclude that the Client may not meet its obligations to us, or if, in our opinion (which need not be reasonable) the work you are asked to undertake is not suitable for you.
4	You also acknowledge that, under the arrangements for an Assignment, the Client will be under no obligation to provide you, either directly or through us, with any advance notice of an end to an Assignment, or provide you with any reason for such termination, although it may choose to discuss any reason with you as part of its own policy concerning the handling of temporary personnel. If the Client asks you to leave, it is in your interests to inform us straightaway so that we can verify instructions from the Client to us and ascertain whether there is any prospect of the continuation of the Assignment. The Client has no right to terminate the Assignment or obligation to give you any notice. If you are informed of any intention to terminate you must immediately communicate this to us. Only when we have confirmed to you that the Assignment is at an end is the Assignment terminated, as your contractual relationship concerning continuation of the Assignment is with us and not the Client. If the Assignment specifies that you are entitled to advance notice, we shall give you such notice ourselves.
5	We may from time to time make enquiries and pass on comments and suggestion as between you, the Client and ourselves with the objective of ensuring the Assignment is being performed on a satisfactory basis for all concerned. We recommend that you raise with us any issues (including failure by the Client to sign a timesheet and treatment of you by others during the Assignment that you may find unacceptable) or questions as to instructions from the Client at the earliest time so that we can make the necessary enquiries and advise as we deem appropriate. We shall do our best to facilitate resolution at all times but if you wish to end the work we shall negotiate termination with the Client.
6	Following your acknowledgments above, you agree that you are not obliged by contract, either express or implied, to perform your work in any way other than in good faith and as you reasonably consider appropriate. However if you do not provide your services in accordance with the Client’s expectations the Client may ask us to terminate an Assignment and you acknowledge that if you have caused any damage to the Client or End User through negligence or otherwise you may be liable for any loss claimed. Nothing in this clause shall affect your separate obligations to us specified in this agreement.
what we ask of you
7	To enable us to provide a continuing and valuable service to you, and to a Client where appropriate, we need information from you at various stages, and you acknowledge that we may not be able to maintain the continuation of any work if you do not provide such information. Accordingly, although you are not under any obligation to us, we ask that you let us know
	(a)	immediately if you do not consider the work suitable for you, in which event we will, if possible, discuss the matter with you and the Client
	(b)	if you have any reason to believe that the Client will not sign any timesheet in respect of your work, with any reasons for your belief
	(c)	immediately if you are likely to be absent from work for any reason during an Assignment, and if you are proposing to take a holiday, let us know in advance by completing our standard leave notification form as far in advance as is possible
	(d)	let us know if you no longer wish to continue working under an Assignment, or if you are unlikely to be available for work for any period.
contract for services
8	This contract is a contract for services and for the avoidance of doubt we are not your employer nor are you our employee under any contract of employment. No contract of employment is expressed or implied by reason of this agreement or any terms ancillary to this agreement and any implied duty on the part of us as if we were your employer is excluded. Specifically you do not have our authority to submit to any terms requested by a Client other than such that are stated as Special Terms ancillary to an Assignment, but the performance by you of any Special Terms is in accordance with the recognitions expressed herein and not pursuant to any specific obligation to us or the Client.
9	You agree specifically that you will not hold yourself out to any party that you are an employee of ours or a Client, or that you are authorised by us to agree to any terms on our behalf at any time.
10	You further agree that
	(a)	you shall not submit to the control of a Client to the extent that you consider that you have a direct contractual relationship with that Client,
	(b)	you are not under our control
	(c	you shall at the end of each Assignment return to the Client any materials, documents or equipment of the Client which you have, or have had in your possession
	(d	you shall maintain insurance to the level required in a Proposal, if any, and provide us with evidence of such insurance upon request.
warranties by you
11	You warrant that, and this warranty is renewed on commencement of each Assignment,
	(a)	an adequate description of the services required to enable you to provide the Work Services has been given to you before the Assignment and, if you have been provided with a specification of work by the Client, you have the skill and expertise to meet such specification
	(a)	you recognise that this agreement is a commercial contract for services and that there is no obligation upon us to provide any work to you, nor are you obliged to undertake any work other than under an Assignment
	(b)	we have no obligation to provide you with information or any service other than as specifically, and to the extent, stated in this agreement or required by statute
	(c	in locating temporary work for you, and in agreeing to assist you as set out herein, we are providing you with a valuable service to enable you to obtain and continue with temporary work and you are not our employee.
what you must not do
12	You agree that the arrangements recorded in this agreement between you and us reflect commercial terms, and that we have arrangements in place with each Client which entitle us to fees, and/or oblige us to protect the interests of the Client. Accordingly, and in consideration of our services to you, you agree you shall not
	(a)	during, or after, an Assignment divulge to any party or use for your own benefit any information capable of being confidential relating to the affairs, business or business method of us or the Client, or information received from us or the Client, except that which is in the public domain or is trivial or obvious or authorised to be released or required by Court Order to be disclosed
	(a)	during, or after, an Assignment discuss with the Client either your rates of pay, or any other terms of your engagement, with us other than strictly as required for the proper objectives of the Work Services
	(b)	act in conflict with the best interests of a Client or cause any damage or loss to a Client
	(c	you will not take any holiday during the first 21 days of commencement of an Assignment.
payment
13	Our arrangements with the Client require that normally we cannot invoice the Client for our fees in respect of work done by you unless we provide to the Client a copy of a timesheet in each case recording hours actually worked and verified and signed by an authorised representative of the Client or End User (“Signed Timesheet”). Further as you are paid for time worked we cannot pay you unless we have a record of time spent. Accordingly you shall keep accurate records of the hours you have worked in each case and provide us with a Signed Timesheet promptly.
14	If it is not possible for you to obtain a Signed Timesheet, and you provide a timesheet to us properly recording hours that you have worked together with a full and satisfactory explanation to us of the circumstances relating to the failure or refusal of the Client to sign or verify the timesheet we shall treat the timesheet as a Signed Timesheet for the purposes of payment to you.
15	You agree and acknowledge that, if you do not submit a Signed Timesheet to us promptly during an Assignment, payment to you may be delayed. You also agree that if you should fail to submit a timesheet to us because of your own default within 14 days of the end of the relevant Assignment we may suffer loss as we may be unable to recover sums due to us from the Client. If, as a consequence of your delay and after we have made reasonable efforts to obtain the same, we are unable to recover our fees from the relevant Client, we shall nevertheless pay you but you shall be liable to us for any loss that we suffer, and you authorise us to deduct such loss from any payment due to you. NOTE: YOU SHOULD SEND IN YOUR TIMESHEETS PROMPTLY TO AVOID DELAY IN PAYMENT. YOU MAY SUFFER LOSS IF YOU DO NOT DO SO.
16	Subject to clauses 13 to 15 we shall pay you in accordance with the Payment Terms based on work performed by you during an Assignment, for time that you take as leave entitlement under the Working Time Regulations 1998 as amended (“WTR”), and for any Expenses, but not further or otherwise except as specifically required by statute.
17	Sums due to you will be calculated at the Pay Rate specified in the Assignment, net of PAYE and employee National Insurance contributions (as required by s.44 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003) and any other statutory deductions. We shall include sums due to you for time that you take as leave as referred to in clause 19(e) with the payment immediately following the time in the month that you take your statutory leave.
18	We undertake to pay you in respect of work done by you whether or not we are paid by the Client.
specific acknowledgements, absence and holidays
19	You acknowledge and agree that
	(a)	you are not authorised by us to accept any terms which the Client may seek to impose upon you and you will not accept any such terms without notifying us in writing in advance of your intention to do so
	(a)	you are not under any obligation to comply with any terms requested by a Client, but you may choose to do so in order to meet the expectations for your services

	(d)	you are entitled to rest breaks and annual leave only in accordance with the WTR, and the leave year for the purposes of those regulations commences on the 1st day of January each year
	(e)	bank and public holidays are working days and you are expected to work on these days, although you may take them as part of annual leave
	(f)	leave entitlement unused at the end of the leave year may not be carried over into the next leave year and you will not be entitled to be paid in respect of leave entitlement accrued but not taken during the Assignment Term except as provided for in the WTR upon termination
	(g)	your entitlement to Holiday Pay accrues and will be paid to you during any period of statutory leave or upon termination of your engagement with us in accordance with the WTR
	(h)	where the proportion of leave taken by you exceeds the proportion to which you are entitled under this agreement, except where you have such an entitlement under the WTR, you shall immediately, if we request you to do so, compensate us by repayment of all sums paid by us in respect of the excess leave including gross pay to you and all National Insurance payments we have paid on the relevant amount save to the extent that we are able to recover the same from any tax authority
	(i)	any sums owed by you to us under this agreement, including any excess payment of Holiday Pay over your statutory entitlement, may be deducted from any payment due to you at any time including upon termination of this agreement
	(j)	if we notify you of a minor amendment to this agreement such amendment will apply from the date of notification unless you shall within 14 days of receipt of such notification inform us in writing that the amendment is not agreed.
termination and suspension
20	Either you or we may terminate an Assignment by giving written notice if the other shall commit an Insolvency Event, namely in the case of us that we become insolvent within the meaning of the Insolvency Act 1986, or in the case of you that you are made bankrupt.
21	We may terminate an Assignment with immediate effect regardless of any Assignment Term expressed in an Assignment
