Terms and conditions of business for the introduction of Permanent Staff

1. Our engagement fee for the Introduction of Permanent Staff on a permanent self employed or freelance basis is as stated in our Scale of Fees brochure/Temporary Assignment letter. This fee is payable by the Employer within seven days of the engagement of the Applicant (see Condition 8). Immediate notification must be made to us by the Employer of the engagement of the Applicant by the Employer or any other employer. If the Applicant is not immediately engaged as a result of the introduction but is engaged by the Employer in any capacity within six months as a result directly, or indirectly of the introduction, the fee is payable.
2. Should the engagement be terminated within a period of ten weeks either by the Applicant (not having a good cause) or by the Employer by reason of the unsuitability of the Applicant for the job for which the Applicant was employed then the Employer would be allowed a refund of 10% of the engagement fee for each complete week not worked. Should the engagement be terminated by the Applicant or by the Employer as aforesaid on or before the end of the second week the engagement fee will normally be refunded on the above basis but we reserve the right to refuse such refund in any such case. This condition will only apply if notification has been made to us in writing by the Employer within seven days of the termination of the employment, otherwise the date of notification will be deemed as the date of termination for the purpose of a refund, and the introduction fee must have been paid in accordance with the payment terms. Any discounted, reduced or negotiated fees that deviate from our standard terms automatically cancels any right to refund.

4. We interview all Applicants and obtain details from them of their qualifications and experience. We check references only when requested to do so by the Employer in writing. We do not enquire about the medical history or condition of the Applicant. Although we endeavour to ensure that an Applicant is suitable to an Employer's requirements when these are known to us the Employer must satisfy himself as to the qualification, experience, capability and suitability in all respects of the Applicant and that the Applicant has such licences, authorities and work permits as may be necessary.
5. Notwithstanding any representation or information given to the Employer we can accept no liability whatsoever on behalf of ourselves our servants or agents for any loss, costs, delay or damage pecuniary or otherwise, foreseeable or not, which the Employer, its servants, agents, customers or others may suffer or become liable for arising out of or in connection with the introduction to or employment by the Employer of any Applicant. No binding representations or warranties of any nature are made by us to the Employee in connection with the introduction to or employment of the Employer or any Applicant.
