Employment Business and the Agency Worker, or the Agency Worker and the Hirer.

as such, but nothing in these Terms shall be construed as giving the Agency Worker
rights in addition to those provided by statute except where expressly stated.
2.3. No variation or alteration to these Terms shall be valid unless the details of such
variation are agreed between the Employment Business and the Agency Worker and
set out in writing and a copy of the varied terms is given to the Agency Worker no

supplying the Agency Worker for Assignments with its Hirers.

obliged to accept any Assignment offered by the Employment Business.

Business shall provide the Agency Worker with an Assignment Details Form setting

3.3.1. the identity of the Hirer, and if applicable the nature of their business;
3.3.2. the date the Assignment is to commence and the duration or likely duration
of Assignment;
3.3.3. the Type of Work, location and hours during which the Agency Worker
would be required to work;
3.3.4. the Hourly Rate that will be paid and any expenses payable by or to the
Agency Worker;
3.3.5. any risks to health and safety known to the Hirer in relation to the
Assignment and the steps the Hirer has taken to prevent or control such

law or a professional body the Hirer considers necessary or which are
required by law to work in the Assignment.

Sunday and any Public or Bank Holiday) following save where:

one in which the Agency Worker has previously been supplied within the
previous 5 business days and such information has already been given to the
Agency Worker and remains unchanged; or
3.4.2. subject to clause 3.5, the Assignment is intended to last for 5 consecutive
business days or less and such information has previously been given to the
Agency Worker before and remains unchanged, the Employment Business
needs only to provide written confirmation of the identity of the Hirer and
the likely duration of the Assignment.
3.5. Where the provisions of clause 3.4.2 are met but the Assignment extends beyond
the intended 5 consecutive business day period, the Employment Business shall
provide such information set out in clause 3.3 to the Agency Worker in paper or
electronic form within 8 days of the start of the Assignment.
3.6. For the purpose of calculating the average number of weekly hours worked by the
Agency Worker on an Assignment for the purposes of the Working Time Regulations,
the start date for the relevant averaging period shall be the date on which the
Agency Worker commences the first Assignment.
3.7. If, before or during an Assignment or during the Relevant Period, the Hirer wishes to Engage the Agency Worker directly or through another employment business, the
Agency Worker acknowledges that the Employment Business will be entitled either
to charge the Hirer a Transfer Fee or to agree a Period of Extended Hire with the
Hirer at the end of which the Agency Worker may be Engaged directly by the Hirer or
through another employment business without further charge to the Hirer. In

(as appropriate).

Employment Business and the Hirer is terminated for any reason the Assignment
shall cease with immediate effect without liability to the Agency Worker (save for
payment for hours worked by the Agency Worker up to the date of termination of
the Assignment).

SCHEDULE: “QUALIFYING PERIOD” AND “TEMPORARY WORK AGENCY”
For the purpose of the definition of “Qualifying Period” in clause 1.1 of these Terms, when calculating whether any weeks completed with the Hirer count as continuous towards the Qualifying Period, where:
(a) the Agency Worker has started working during an assignment and there is a break, either between assignments or during an assignment, when the Agency Worker is not working;
(b) the break is:
(i) for any reason and not more than six Calendar Weeks;
(ii) wholly due to the fact that the Agency Worker is incapable of working in consequence of sickness or injury and the break is 28 Calendar Weeks or less; paragraph (iii) does not apply; and, if required to do so by the Employment Business, the Agency Worker has provided such written medical evidence as may reasonably be required;
(iii) related to pregnancy, childbirth or maternity and is at a time in a protected period, being a period beginning at the start of the pregnancy and ending at the end of the 26 weeks beginning with childbirth (being the birth of a living child or the birth of a child whether living or dead after 24 weeks of pregnancy) or, if earlier, when the Agency Worker returns to work;
(iv) wholly for the purpose of taking time off or leave, whether statutory or contractual, to which the Agency Worker is otherwise entitled which is:
i. ordinary, compulsory or additional maternity leave;
ii. ordinary or additional adoption leave;
iii. ordinary or additional paternity leave;
iv. time off or other leave not listed in
paragraphs (iv)i, ii, or iii above; or
v. for more than one of the reasons listed in paragraphs (iv)i, ii, iii to iv above;
(v) wholly because the Agency Worker is required to attend at any place in pursuance to being summoned for service as a juror and the break is 28 Calendar Weeks or less;
(vi) wholly due to a temporary cessation in the Hirer’s requirement for any worker to be present at the establishment and work in a role for a pre-determined period of time according to the established custom and practices of the Hirer;
(vii) wholly due to a strike, lock-out or other industrial action at the Hirer’s establishment; or
(viii) wholly due to more than one of the reasons listed in paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii);
and
(c) the Agency Worker returns to work in the same role with the Hirer,
any weeks during which the Agency Worker worked for the Hirer before the break shall be carried forward and treated as counting towards the Qualifying Period with any weeks during which the Agency Worker works for the Hirer after the break. In addition, when calculating the number of weeks during which the Agency Worker has worked, where the Agency Worker has started working in a role during an Assignment and is unable to continue working for a reason described in paragraph (b)(iii) or
(b)(iv)i., ii, or iii., for the period that is covered by one or more such reasons, the Agency Worker shall be deemed to be working in that role with the Hirer for the original intended duration or likely duration of the relevant Assignment, whichever is the longer. For the avoidance of doubt, time spent by the Agency Worker working during an assignment before 1 October 2011 do es not count for the purposes of the definition of “Qualifying Period”.
“Temporary Work Agency” means as defined in Regulation 4 of the Agency Workers Regulations being
a person engaged in the economic activity, public or private, whether operating for pro fit, and whether carrying on such activity in conjunction with others, of:
(a) supplying individuals to work temporarily for and under the supervision and direction of hirers; or
(b) paying for, or receiving or forwarding payment for, the services of individuals who are supplied to work temporarily for and under the supervision and direction of hirers.
Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of this definition a person is not a Temporary Work Agency if the person is engaged in the economic activity of paying for, or receiving or forwarding payments for, the services of individuals regardless of whether the individuals are supplied to work for hirers. For the purpose of this definition, a “hirer” means a person engaged in economic activity, public or private, whether operating for profit, to whom individuals are supplied, to work temporarily for and under the supervision and direction of that person.
