ABSENCE FROM ASSIGNMENT If the TW is unable for any reason to attend work during an Assignment, the TW should inform the EB as soon as possible to enable alternative arrangements to be made. 5. TERMINATION 5.1 The EB or the Client may terminate the TW’s Assignment at any time without prior notice or liability. 5.2 The TW may terminate an Assignment at any time without prior notice or liability. 5.3 If the TW does not inform the Client or the EB in accordance with clause 6.2 should they be unable to attend work during the course of an Assignment this will be treated as termination of the Assignment by the TW in accordance with clause 5.2 unless the TW can show that exceptional circumstances prevented the TW from complying with clause 6.2. 5.4 If the TW is absent during the course of an Assignment and the contract has not been otherwise terminated under clauses 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 above, the EB will be entitled to terminate the contract in accordance with clause 5.1 if the work to which the absent TW was assigned is no longer available for the TW. 5.5 If the TW does not report to the EB to notify the TW’s availability for work for a period of 2 weeks, the EB will forward the TW’s P45 to the TW’s last known address. 6.

REMUNERATION Subject to any rights or entitlements pursuant to the AWR, the EB shall pay the TW remuneration calculated at the National Minimum Wage hourly rate or at any higher rate the EB reasonably expects to achieve for all hours worked. The actual rate will be notified on a per Assignment basis, for each hour worked during an Assignment (to the nearest quarter of an hour) to be paid weekly, one week in arrears, subject to deductions in respect of PAYE pursuant to Sections 44-47 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 and Class I National Insurance Contributions and any other deductions which the EB may be required by law to make. Subject to any statutory entitlement under the relevant legislation, the TW is not entitled to receive payment from the EB or its Clients for time not spent on an Assignment, whether in respect of holidays (except see clause 9), illness or absence or any other reason unless otherwise agreed in writing between the EB and the TW. If for any reason the TW is paid in advance for an Assignment but the TW does not undertake or complete the hours for which the TW has been paid in advance, the EB reserves the right to deduct any overpayment from future remuneration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment due in lieu of untaken accrued paid leave) and the TW agrees that the TW will be personally liable to repay any balance due to the EB immediately upon demand. The TW is not entitled to any benefits. 8. TIME SHEETS 8.1. The TW has no normal hours of work and will be required to work the hours and days as required by the Client during the Assignment. The Temporary Worker’s hours and days of work will vary according to the needs of the Client, but the TW will be expected to work between the hours of 00:00 to 23:59 from Monday to Sunday. The TW will be notified of the hours and days they will be required to work in advance of accepting the Assignment. Rest periods will be respected and no contact will be made other than email. 8.2. At the end of each week of an Assignment (or at the end of an Assignment where it is for a period of one week or less or is completed before the end of a week) the TW shall deliver to the EB the TW’s completed timesheet to indicate the number of hours the TW has worked during the preceding week (or such lesser period) and signed by an authorised representative of the Client. The EB shall pay the TW for all hours worked regardless of whether the EB has received payment from the Client for those hours, on a weekly/ monthly basis. Where the TW fails to submit a properly authenticated timesheet the EB shall, in a timely fashion, conduct further investigations into the hours claimed by the TW and reasons the Client has refused to sign a timesheet for those hours. This may delay any payment due to the TW. The EB shall not make any payment to the TW for hours not worked. For the avoidance of doubt and the purposes of the Working Time Regulations 1998, the TW’s working time (which will normally also be hours worked for which the TW will be paid) shall only consist of those periods during which the TW is carrying out activities or duties for the Client as part of the Assignment. Subject to the AWR time spent travelling to the Client’s premises, lunch breaks and other rest breaks shall not count as working time. The TW acknowledges and accepts that it could be a criminal offence under the Fraud Act 2006 to falsify any time sheet, for example by claiming payment for hours that were not actually worked. The provisions of this Clause 9 are subject to the AWR 9.1 Under the Working Time Regulations the TW is entitled to a statutory period of paid leave of 5.6 weeks per year. For calculating the entitlement to leave under this clause, the leave year commences on the date the TW starts on April 1st to April 01st and cannot be carried over to the next holiday year. All of the entitlement to leave must be taken during the course of the leave year in which it accrues unless prevented by a period of other leave, eg: Sickness, Maternity, Paternity or Adoption. The entitlement accrues pro rata to the amount of time the TW is engaged during the leave year. For the purposes of taking leave fractions of days may be rounded up in half days but payment will be based on the fraction due. 9.2 The amount of payment to which the TW is entitled in respect of paid leave is calculated in accordance with statutory provisions and recent relevant case law. 9.3 At the end of each month or when the TW wishes to take some or all of the paid leave to which the TW is entitled, the TW should notify the EB in writing in advance of the dates of the TW’s intended absence. The amount of notice should be at least twice the length of the period of leave that the TW wishes to take. In certain circumstances the EB may give counter- notice to the TW to postpone or reduce the amount of leave that the TW wishes to take and in such circumstances the EB will inform the TW in writing giving at least the same length of notice as the period of leave that has been requested. Public or Bank Holidays not worked will not be paid unless the TW notifies the EB that he/she wishes to take them as part of the TW’s statutory annual entitlement. 9.4 Where this contract is terminated by either party and a P45 issued, the TW is entitled to a payment in lieu of any untaken accrued paid leave. 9.5 For the avoidance of doubt, none of the provisions of this clause shall affect the TW’s status as a self employed worker engaged on a contract for services. 10. SICKNESS ABSENCE 10.1 If the TW is absent from work for any reason, they must notify Blink Recruitment of the reason for their absence as soon as possible but no later than 09:00 on the first day of absence. 10.2 If the TW satisfies the qualifying conditions laid down by law, they may be entitled to receive Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) at the prevailing rate of any period of sickness or injury during the Assignment. The TW will not be entitled to any other payments during such period. 10.3 In all cases of absence, a self-certification form, must be completed on the TW’s return to work. For any period of absence due to sickness or injury which lasts for 7 consecutive days or more, a doctor’s certificate stating the reason for absence must be obtained if the absence continues for longer than the period of the original certificate. The TW’s qualifying days for SSP purposes are 4. OTHER PAID LEAVE 11.1 During the Assignment the TW is [not] entitled to other paid leave. TRAINING 12.1 training will be provided to the TW should the role require training and pre agreed by the client. DATA PROTECTION AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION 13.1 The EB will collect and process information relating to the TW in accordance with the privacy notice which is annexed to these Terms.
