Introduction
Fee: Refunds
6.1 Subject to clause 6.2,
if the relevant Applicant leaves
the Client's employment within
the 6 week guarantee period
from the date of commencement
for any reason (other than through
redundancy, constructive or
unlawful dismissal), the Agent
shall endeavour to seek one
replacement at no extra cost
to the client. If the Agent
is unable to find a replacement
after 6 weeks or more the Client
shall receive a credit against
the fee paid which shall be
calculated as a proportion of
the introduction fee as follows;-
• if the departure is
less than 3 weeks following
commencement: 50%;
• if the departure is
4 weeks or more but less than
6 weeks following commencement:
25%;
6.2 No refund is payable in
any circumstances, however,
unless:
• the relevant departure
is notified by the Client to
the Employment Agency in writing
within 7 days; and
• the Client has paid
to the Employment Agency the
Introduction Fee in full within
14 days of the date of relevant
invoice.
6.3 Should the Client or any
associated company of the Client
subsequently engage the Applicant
within a period of 6 months
from the relevant date of departure,
a full Introduction Fee calculated
in accordance with clause 5
above becomes payable, notwithstanding
any previous fees paid to the
Employment Agency. Furthermore
should the client offer a candidate
a role within the company whether
it be the role they were forwarded
to by Da Silva Recruitment Ltd
or a different role within the
organisation within a 12 month
calendar period of date from
the submission of the candidates
details, a full Introduction
Fee calculated in accordance
with clause 5 above becomes
payable, notwithstanding any
previous fees or special agreements
paid to the Employment Agency.
For the avoidance of doubt,
there shall be no entitlement
to a refund of any kind following
such subsequent Engagement.

otherwise unenforceable by judicial
body, the remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall remain

1EH (“the Agency”)
and any person firm or company
engaging the Agency to procure

(“the Client”).
In these Terms and Conditions
“the Temporary Worker”
means any person engaged, employed
or used by the client whether
under a contract of service
or a contract for service or
otherwise and introduced to
the client by the Agency.
2.
These Terms and Conditions
are deemed to be accepted by
the Client by virtue of the
Client interviewing or making
use of the Temporary worker
and alteration, variation or
qualification of these Terms
and Conditions shall be valid
and effective unless previously
agreed in writing by the Agency.
3.
The Client agrees to
pay the hourly charge of the
Agency advised at the time of
the booking of a Temporary Worker
for all hours actually worked
by the Temporary Worker. The
hourly charge may be charged
from time to time with immediate
effect by agreement between
the parties hereto. Details
of current charges are available
on application and are calculated
on an hourly basis at rates
varying according to the number
of hours a Temporary Worker
is required in any one week.
Any travelling, hotel or other
expenses agreed between the
Agency and the client should
be included (in itemised form)
on the invoices submitted by
the Agency in addition to the
hourly charges. Charges shall
be invoiced weekly and are payable
within 7 days of receipt of
invoice. VAT shall be payable
on any fees charged by the Agency
(whether under this clause or
any terms contained herein)
at the rate from time to time
prevailing.
4.
The Client shall be
responsible for checking and
verification of the number of
hours claimed by a Temporary
Worker before signing the time
sheet and the Client shall indemnify
the Agency in respect of all
and any claims, costs and/or
proceedings taken by the Temporary
Worker against the Agency that
arise out of the Clients failure
to record accurately the number
of hours worked by the Temporary
worker.
5.
If the Client engages
a Temporary Worker or former
Temporary Worker, whether for
a definite or indefinite period
(where or not as a Temporary
Worker or permanent Staff or
otherwise) or introduces a Temporary
Worker or former temporary Worker
to another person, firm or company
with a resulting engagement
within a period of six months
from the termination of any
temporary assignment with the
Client, the Client shall pay
to the Agency an introduction
fee structure. No rebate will
be made by the Agency, as the
ability of the Temporary Worker
shall be deemed proven.
6.
Whilst the Agency will
make every reasonable effort
to give satisfaction to the
Client by ensuring responsible
standards of skill, integrity
and reliability from Temporary
Workers and will endeavour to
provide Temporary Workers in
accordance with booking details,
no liability will be accepted
by the Agency for any loss,
expense, damage or delay arising
from any failure to provide
any particular Temporary Worker
for all or part of the period
of the booking or from the negligence,
dishonesty, misconduct or lack
of skill of the Temporary Worker
provided.
7.
The Client undertakes
to supervise all Temporary Workers
assigned to it to a degree sufficient
to ensure the Client’s
reasonable satisfaction with
standards of workmanship, but
if the services of the Temporary
Worker shall prove to be unsatisfactory,
the Agency may reduce or cancel
the charge for the time worked
by that Temporary Worker provided
that the temporary Worker in
question leaves that assignment
immediately and that notification
of such cessation is confirmed
in writing and received by the
Agency:-
a)
Within 4 hours of
the Temporary Worker commencing
duties where the booking is
for more than 7 hours.
b) Within
2 hours of commencing duties
for bookings of 7 hours or
less.
8.
The Client accepts
responsibility in respect of
all statute, statutory instruments,
bylaws and legal requirements
to which the Client is ordinarily
subject in respect of the Client’s
own staff with particular reference
to the Health and Safety at
Work Act 1974 or any statutory
modifications or amendments
thereto for the time being in
force but excluding statutory
responsibility in respect of
deduction of statutory contributions
for earnings related insurance
and the administration of Schedule
E Income Tax, P.A.Y.E applicable
to Temporary Workers as required
by law for which the Agency
shall be responsible.
9.
Temporary Workers provided by
the Agency are provided under
contracts for services and are
deemed to be under the direction
and control of the Client.
From the time the Temporary
Worker reports to take up duties
and for the duration of the
assignment. The Client is responsible
for adequately insuring all
the Temporary Workers supplied
by the Agency against all Employers
Liability and Third Party risks
arising during or relating to
the supply of the Temporary
Worker to the Client. The Client
agrees liability for all acts,
errors and omissions whether
wilful, negligent or otherwise
of the Temporary Worker as though
the Temporary Worker was the
employee of the Client.
10.
The Agency will endeavour to
provide the Temporary Worker
for the full period of the booking
but this cannot be guaranteed
whether for all or any part
of the period. The Client shall
not hold the Agency responsible
or liable for not supplying
a temporary Worker for part
or for the whole of the period
of a booking or where the Temporary
Worker fails to fulfil or complete
the original period of engagement
required by the Client.
11.
Subject to the clause
5 hereof, in the event that
the Temporary Workers engagement
continues for longer than the
period of engagement required
by the Client, these Terms and
Conditions will continue to
apply.

to charge interest on any overdue
payments of fees, such interest
to be calculated on a daily
basis at the rate of 2% per
annum above the base rate for
the time being of the Barclays
Bank plc or 15% per annum whichever
is the higher from the date
of due payment until the actual
date of payment in full of the
invoiced amount, together with
