This Contract for Services sets out the terms on which MCI People will engage you as an agency worker for temporary assignments. Please read it carefully before signing. NATURE OF ENGAGEMENT MCI People will act as an employment business in respect of this agreement and will endeavour to find suitable assignments for you. The Employment Agencies Act 1973 prohibits MCI People from charging you a fee in respect of this work-finding service. MCI People does not provide any other goods or services in respect of which you may be charged a fee. Work assignments will be offered to you on an "ad hoc" basis as and when MCI People matches you with suitable clients. You are free to accept or decline such assignments. You are not guaranteed continuous work and we are under no obligation to offer you further assignments. No contract exists between MCI People and yourself in periods between agreed work assignments. Although you are free to engage in other work, if you already have or are considering any additional work, you should notify MCI People so that any implications arising from current working time legislation can be discussed. For the avoidance of doubt, you are engaged as a temporary Agency Worker. This contract for services and any attachments or particular assignment schedules do not constitute a contract of employment between you and MCI People. Assignments may be offered to you on an hourly, daily, weekly, or other basis. Attendance at work assignments will be in accordance with the assignment schedule for that particular assignment. When you have agreed to attend a work assignment and are unable to do so, you are required to notify your MCI People consultant immediately. NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS TO END AN ASSIGNMENT MCI People (or the client to whom you are assigned) may end an assignment at any time without prior notice or liability. You may terminate an assignment at any time by immediately informing MCI People. PAYMENT MCI People reasonably expects you to be paid an hourly rate which is no less than the National Minimum Wage. However, your actual payment in respect of any particular assignment may be more than the National Minimum Wage, and you will be notified of the applicable rate when you are offered any particular assignment. You will become entitled to equal treatment under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 with regard to pay after you have accrued 12 weeks in a particular role with a client organisation. Where this is the case, you will be advised separately of the relevant rate at the appropriate time. Please note that equal treatment does not relate to all aspects of pay. You will be paid in respect of work done regardless of whether or not MCI People receives payment from the client to whom you are assigned. Payment will be made weekly in arrears by bank credit transfer following submission of a properly completed timesheet. Statutory deductions such as income tax and National Insurance contributions will be made from your payments. Non-submission or incorrectly completed documentation may result in delayed payment. Any queries regarding payment should be raised with your MCI People consultant. ABSENCE Any absence, for whatever reason, whilst on an agreed assignment must be reported at the earliest opportunity on the day in question to enable alternative arrangements to be made. Notification should be made personally to your MCI People consultant. We do not operate a contractual sickness/injury payment scheme for agency workers. STATUTORY ANNUAL LEAVE Your leave year commences on 1st January and ends on 31st December. You are entitled to 5.6 weeks' paid annual leave. For part years of service, entitlement will be calculated on a pro-rata basis. You will become entitled to equal treatment in relation to annual leave entitlement under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 after you have accrued 12 weeks in a particular role with a client organisation. Where this is the case, you will be advised separately of the relevant entitlement at the appropriate time. You should give at least one week's written notice of your intention to take holiday. Such notice should be given to your MCI People consultant. MCI People will allocate agreed leave dates to take account of business needs and the arrangements made by other agency workers and our clients' own employees, to ensure operational efficiency. MCI People reserves the right to refuse leave requests if they conflict with the needs of the business, and may, with due notice, require that you take annual leave on specified dates. Annual leave must be taken in the leave year in which it is accrued. You will not be allowed to "carry over" any annual leave into a subsequent leave year. You will not be entitled to any payment for bank holidays or public holidays unless you are actually required to work them or they are taken as part of your statutory annual leave. Payment in respect of statutory annual leave will be in accordance with the Working Time Regulations. In the event of the termination of your contract, any annual leave accrued but not taken will be paid in lieu. However, if you have taken more paid leave than you have accrued pro-rata, the appropriate amount will be deducted from your final payment. This is an express written term of your contract for services. INFORMATION ABOUT PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS You shall inform us at the earliest possible opportunity, prior to an assignment or during each assignment, of any instances where you have worked in the past two years in the same or similar role with the client (or any member of the client's group) with whom we have placed you for assignment, via a third party. You shall provide us with details of such work and the periods during which it was carried out, and comply with any reasonable request we make for the provision of such information. HEALTH & SAFETY AT WORK Under health and safety legislation, each individual has a legal responsibility for their own welfare and for the health and safety of others. You must take all reasonable steps to safeguard your own safety and the safety of any other person who may be present, and comply with the health and safety policies of any client to whom you are assigned. STANDARDS You are under no obligation to accept an offer of an assignment, but if you do so, you agree, during every assignment and afterwards as appropriate, to observe the following conditions: On attending a client's establishment, you will observe any specific instructions given regarding standards of dress. Where no specific instructions have been given, you should present a professional image and wear clothes appropriate to the responsibilities of your assignment. You will familiarise yourself with and observe any rules and regulations of the client's establishment, particularly with regard to use of any computer equipment, client telephones and personal mobile phones. You will not engage in any conduct detrimental to the interests of the client or MCI People. You will co-operate with the client's staff and accept the direction, instruction and supervision of any responsible person in the client's establishment. You will not at any time divulge to any person, nor use for your own or any other person's benefit, any confidential information relating to the client's or MCI People's transactions, finances, customers, employees or business affairs. WASTAGE Any damage to stock or property (including non-statutory safety equipment) that is the result of your carelessness, negligence or deliberate vandalism will render you liable to pay the full or part cost of repair or replacement. Any loss to us that is the result of your failure to observe rules, procedures or instructions, or is a result of your negligent behaviour or unsatisfactory standard of work, will render you liable to reimburse us the full or part cost of that loss. In the event of failure to pay, such costs will be deducted from your pay. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES MCI People is committed to the principle of equality regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Policies will be applied that are fair, equitable and consistent with skills and abilities. You have a duty to support MCI People in implementing these policies to ensure equality of opportunity. COMPLAINING ABOUT DISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT If you believe you are the victim of minor discrimination or harassment, you should first make it clear to the discriminator/harasser that their behaviour is unwelcome and politely ask them to stop. If you feel unable to do this, or if this approach fails, or if the discrimination/harassment is more serious, you should discuss the matter with a senior member of MCI People, who will endeavour to resolve the situation on your behalf. PENSION SCHEME We operate a contributory pension scheme which you will be auto-enrolled into (subject to the conditions of the scheme). The scheme enables you to save for your retirement using your own money, together with tax relief and contributions from MCI People. Further details are available separately. If you agree to accept the above conditions, please sign and date both copies of this contract for services (retaining one for your own reference) and return one copy to your MCI People consultant at MCI People, 3 Waterside, Coventry CV1 4LZ.
