Terms of Business For Contract / Freelance Staff

Effective from 23 June 2005

  1. These terms of business between Internal Audit People Limited (IAP) and the Client are deemed to be accepted by the Client from the time of a request to IAP to provide a temporary or freelance worker (worker).
  2. The fees charged by IAP will be as per the notification in writing, by fax or by email. The amounts quoted will exclude VAT but will be subject to VAT. The fees will be invoiced to the Client weekly. The Client will pay the daily charges for all days and part days actually worked by the worker.
  3. The full amount of the fees shall be paid by the Client without any deduction whatsoever within 10 days of the date of the invoice. Overdue accounts will be subject to a surcharge of 2.5 per cent per month or part thereof.
  4. The Client agrees if requested to verify, and if verified sign, the worker's time sheets each week during the duration of the assignment. Signature of the timesheet by the Client or alternatively the waiving of the need for a signature by the Client each constitutes acceptance that the worker's services have been provided for the times indicated on the time sheet and that such services have been satisfactory.
  5. The term of engagement of the worker may be extended by mutual agreement between the Client and IAP.
  6. The Client undertakes to notify IAP of the intention to engage a worker introduced by IAP on a permanent basis.
  7. If, during the assignment or within 12 months of the end of an assignment, the Client engages on a permanent basis a worker introduced by IAP then the Client will immediately be liable to pay an introduction fee of:
    Fee % Salary / benefits £ per annum
    25% Any and all
    Please see also our Terms of Business for Permanent Staff, which could take precedence in this case.
  8. If within 12 months of the end of an assignment the Client arranges further assignments for the worker, then the Client will be liable to pay fees in accordance with the above terms. In the event of a permanent offer arising during or within 12 months of the cessation of that later assignment, clause number 7 shall again apply.
  9. Clauses 6, 7 and 8 shall apply also where the Client introduces the worker to another company, firm, person or body, which accepts such worker directly or indirectly.
  10. IAP shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that its workers are efficient, honest, reliable and confidential but the Client hereby acknowledges that no warranty can be given by IAP in this regard and that it is the entire responsibility of the Client to ensure that the worker is suitable for its requirements. Unless otherwise agreed the Client further acknowledges that during the assignment the worker will be under the direction, supervision and control of the Client. The Client is also responsible for providing adequate insurance, protection and safety for the worker during the assignment.
  11. In the event that the services of the worker prove to be unsatisfactory or otherwise fail to meet the stated requirements of the Client, IAP may at its own discretion reduce or cancel the fees for some or all of the time worked by the worker, provided notification is received in writing by IAP by the end of the third day of the assignment. Failure to notify IAP in this way will constitute acceptance of the worker's suitability.
  12. IAP reserves the right to substitute another worker at any time, with the agreement of the Client, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld.
  13. Neither IAP nor its workers staff or associates shall be liable for any loss or be liable for any damage caused to the Client, its staff or property as the result of an introduction effected by IAP.
  14. These terms cannot be varied save in writing by a Director or Company Secretary of IAP.
  15. If a worker has contracted to provide his or her services exclusively to a limited company and that limited company enters into an agreement with the Client to provide the services of the worker, then all references in these Terms of Business shall be deemed to include references to such limited company.
